Email & Communications Security

Getting access to a corporate account may grant a hacker access to all internal systems. We will implement secure authentication, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of your communications.

Penetration Testing

Breach simulation is an integral part of every Information Security Program. You can rely on us to support you in initiating, executing, and concluding a Penetration Test.

Secure Software Development

Software development should be a rapid, efficient, and secure process. Our virtual CISO services will help you integrate security into the design, development, testing, integration, and deployment of your code.

Security Policies and Procedures

Policies and Procedures are the governing laws of a company's business. We create living and breathing documents bringing order and structure to our customers' security practices.

Secure Remote Access

Secure Work From Home is one aspect of remote access, but we also take care of third party partners and outsourced employees, vendors, and guests. Remote access to data is not limited to VPN. ​

Zero Trust Networking

And this is why we expand your defense beyond VPN and add Zero-Trust as your primary defense principle.

Advanced Endpoint Security

Antivirus is just one of the 12 controls we implement to defend endpoints from advanced hacking attacks. We prevent the exploitation of these devices via malicious documents, scripts, 0day vulnerabilities, and more. ​

Security Monitoring

We will help you transform your IT infrastructure security by implementing Server & Network Device Hardening, Desktop Hardening, Network & Web Service security, Data Security, Backups, and more!

Step 1: Security Maturity Assessment

We begin by conducting a comprehensive Security Maturity Assessment to evaluate your organization’s current security framework. This step identifies vulnerabilities and benchmarks your cybersecurity readiness against industry standards like NIST or ISO 27001.

Key activities include:

  • Gap Analysis: Comparing your current security measures with best practices.
  • Threat Landscape Review: Assessing potential risks and their business impact.
  • Compliance Assessment: Ensuring alignment with regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI-DSS.

This step sets a clear baseline and highlights critical areas requiring immediate attention.

Step 2: Information Security Program Development

Based on the assessment results, we create a customized Information Security Program (ISP) that aligns with your business goals and risk appetite.

Key deliverables include:

  • Risk Mitigation Strategy: Prioritizing actions to address vulnerabilities.
  • Incident Response Plan: Establishing protocols to respond effectively to cyber threats.
  • Policy Development: Designing security policies tailored to your organization’s unique needs.
  • Training Modules: Creating targeted security awareness programs for employees.

The ISP serves as a strategic roadmap, providing a structured approach to achieving and maintaining a strong security posture.

Step 3: Information Security Program Implementation

In the final step, we bring the security program to life through robust implementation and ongoing monitoring.

Key initiatives include:

  • Technology Deployment: Implementing advanced solutions like Zero Trust Networking, encryption, and endpoint protection.
  • Continuous Monitoring: Setting up real-time tools to identify and respond to emerging threats.
  • Compliance Tracking: Ensuring sustained adherence to regulatory requirements through regular audits.
  • Performance Reporting: Providing transparent, actionable insights through weekly and monthly reports.

This phase ensures that your cybersecurity defenses are fully operational, adaptable to evolving challenges, and aligned with comprehensive risk management practices.

By following this three-step methodology, our Virtual CISO services deliver reliable, scalable, and cost-effective cybersecurity solutions tailored to your needs.
