Cyber Risk Management and Transformation
Evolve From Spreadsheets to Automation
Navigate the Risk Renaissance
Not so long ago, business risk and cyber risk were considered entirely different animals. Oh, how quickly things can change…
Today they’re one and the same as digital transformation (DX) continues to forge new frontiers in both business and cybersecurity. With added connectivity and convenience comes added risk – and this relatively new reality has pushed businesses to strengthen their risk-based strategies across people, processes and technology.
A risk renaissance prevails. Yet even as they embrace it, organizations still struggle with:
Understanding data
Where it is, why it’s important, how it’s protected and who has access.
Snowballing change
Dealing with the scope and speed of the cloud, IoT devices and other DX activities.
Finding a collective pulse
Articulating risk and security to executives and boards in business terms.
The struggle is real, but worry not. Handling risk is part of our M.O., and we’re always standing by.
Security Development
Our Cybersecurity Risk Management and Transformation experts can help you achieve cyber and business resiliency – by weaving risk management into the fabric of your organization. What are the most important parts of your business, and which direction do you want it to go?
Building on your answers, we’ll help you design an effective risk transformation program that arms you with the core capabilities to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving cyber threat curve.
Our Security Program Development services include:
Security Strategy Assessment (SSA)
We assess policies, identify threats, expose gaps and prioritize cybersecurity objectives. You get a clearer understanding of how your current program stacks up to the realities of your business, plus an actionable roadmap you can use to plan, build and run a threat-aware and business-aligned security program.
Security Policy Development
We help you identify your organization’s current policies and standards, perform a gap assessment and then distill a list that needs to be developed or updated. You get a definitive and simplified lineup of essential policies and standards that are key to building a strong security program and culture.
Cyber Resilience
We provide the tools you need to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of DX. You get access to the whole cyber resilience work bench, including:
- Cyber Program Development (NIST CSF and ISO27001/2, Vulnerability Management, Data Governance, Third-Party Risk Management)
- Integrated Risk Management platforms
- Business continuity services
- Ransomware attack preparedness
- Risk Transformation services
vCISO Program
We supply additional guidance on implementing strategic plans, aligning security with the business, managing existing projects and more. You’re provided a virtual cybersecurity information officer (vCISO), who can support your existing CISO or step in to provide CISO-level leadership in case of an open position.
Transform Your Cyber Risk and Transform Your Business
Businesses are finding a new lease on life as part of the ongoing risk renaissance.
As security risk becomes synonymous with business risk, organizations are starting to make sense of their competing priorities and chaos, giving them a clear path toward a more structured environment – one where their people, process, technology and operations all work in harmony.
