Vulnerability Assessment: As an excellent first step and often precedes a penetration test or IT risk assessment.  We look at your online presence, network security and social presence.  We scan those systems using modern tools for thousands of vulnerabilities and weaknesses.  These may be automated quarterly to provide you with ongoing reporting.

Penetration Testing (pen):  IT Security Compliance regulations and guidelines (GLBA, NCUA, FFIEC, HIPAA, etc.) require an organization to conduct independent testing of the Information Security Program to identify vulnerabilities that could result in unauthorized disclosure, misuse, alteration or destruction of confidential information, including Non-Public Personal Information (NPPI). We will simulate a real-world cyber-attack on your business to test your resilience and response capabilities to a sophisticated and targeted attack.  Completed within 24 hours, this streamlined testing process provides exceptional operational value.

Education: Review of your organization’s external risks and ensures quarterly tests are done on time and meet your needs.  We also provide an online solution to follow-up our onsite security awareness training.

Virtual CISCO:  Our Virtual Chief Information Security Officer service enables your organization to call upon a highly qualified and experienced security professional when required.

To assist our clients, we break our services into four primary areas:

Benchmarking: We evaluate an organization’s maturity by comparing current business processes and the existing business state to industry best practices. We document the current landscape and build a clear picture of an organization’s compliance capabilities and gaps.

Strategy:  We help create a strategy that moves an organization beyond their current level of maturity and up to the level required by regulatory bodies or customers. We can also aid in successfully implementing any changes to ensure that employees are all helping to achieve the goals of the project.

Preparation: Organizations that have already received a pre-audit and need help understanding the results can use this set of services to establish the next logical steps. We interpret the findings, prioritize critical next steps, and establish well-documented controls to clear the path towards certification.

Remediation:  Once we’ve established where an organization needs to go, we provide solutions to help make rapid progress, either directly or recommend capable partners to help make rapid progress. Whether gaps are in controls, policy, process or technology, we’ll coordinate with the team to clear the way towards compliance.
