Program Development
Determine what to build, prioritize, and set as policy. Ensure you have a strategic road map and technical resources it needs to maintain a safe and defensible information security posture.
We do policies too. Create a foundation of security best practices that scale with your organization and meet industry compliance requirements.
Compliance
Understand the exact requirements for frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and others—no more guessing or wasting time on unnecessary steps.
Board Requirements
Prepare and present tailored reports that provide a clear picture of cybersecurity risks, progress, and priorities in business terms.
Recent updates to the NYDFS Cybersecurity regulation include the requirement for entities covered under the regulation to have a board member with Cybersecurity expertise. The requirement can be met by an outside consultant or firm.
Security Project Management
Create a step-by-step plan that prioritizes the initiatives most critical to your business, ensuring measurable progress without wasting time or money.
Questionnaire Support
Showcase your organization’s cybersecurity posture and compliance efforts with polished, professional answers tailored to the expectations of customers, partners, and auditors.
Acquisition / Vendor Due Diligence
Conduct in-depth assessments of the target organization’s security posture, compliance status, and vulnerabilities to ensure the target’s systems, policies, and practices align with your organization’s security standards.
In the end
It's all about the report.
We're big on content, short on fluff.
Executive Summary
More art than science, conveying the results of a very technical work to non-technical people is a skillset unto itself. We believe we've cracked the code on making this content accessible and understandable to the highest levels of management in an organization.
Strategic recommendations to support and enable executives in making decisions, packaged for executive delivery.
Assessment Results
Findings—categorized, prioritized, and ranked by criticality and estimated remediation effort.
Each finding receives a detailed breakdown including a description of the risk, detailing the threat it poses to the organization, where that issue was observed and how to remediate it. When applicable, screen captures and steps to reproduce the issue are documented.
Appendices
Cyber Kill Chains provide step-by-step walkthroughs, illustrating the severity and impact of various risks and how an attacker may leverage them.
Detailed summaries, processes, and results for engagement campaigns (i.e., recon, wireless, physical testing), which include images, statistics, tools, and techniques used.
In short, we provide all the steps necessary to show our work.
Advice is like medicine—make sure you're getting the dose right.
