The cyber threat to small and medium businesses (SMBs) is more financially damaging than the combined threat of fire, flood, and transport strikes.
While the vast majority of reported cybersecurity breaches over the past 18 months have concerned large and well-known companies across the globe, it is small and medium size businesses that are increasingly in the criminal’s cross-hairs.
by the Ponemon Institute, three in five SMBs have experienced a cyber attack in the last 12 months and one in three believe they are not capable of fending off an attack.

- Performing a high-level security assessment to identify the current security posture of the business, high-risk threats and vulnerabilities.
- Working closely with the business and technology leaders to define a security capability maturity level target that is based on the existing capabilities and needs of the business.
- Identifying gaps between the current state capabilities and what is required to achieve the target maturity level.
- Identifying the people, policies, procedures, processes, controls and technologies required to achieve the target maturity level.
- Developing a phased implementation plan and roadmap.
Risk Assessment Services
A critical element in any Information Security Program is how well the organization manages risks. Managing risk involves the identification, assessment, treatment, monitoring and tracking of risk. Since it’s impossible to manage what you don’t know exists, it’s critical to begin any attempt to manage risk by performing a risk assessment to identify, estimate and prioritize the risks to organization’s information assets. To ensure a comprehensive assessment is performed, it’s important to include people, processes and technology in the assessment. Our consultants will develop conduct a Risk Assessment that is tailored to the specific needs of your business and industry.
Our standard approach includes:
- Compiling a list of the information assets of the organization.
- Preforming a business impact analysis to understand the true value of each asset.
- Creating risk scenarios to identify threats and vulnerabilities.
- Combining qualitative and quantitative approaches to estimate the likelihood and potential impact of the risk.
- Providing recommendations of how to treat the risk (Avoid, Transfer, Mitigate, Accept).
- Delivery of a Risk Register that documents each risk, likelihood, impact, prioritization of each risk.
Security Awareness Training
Employees are a major part of an organization’s attack surface and remain the greatest vulnerability to cybersecurity, frequently targeted by attackers. Ensuring that employees have the knowledge and skills to defend themselves and the organization against threats is an essential part of any security program and a requirement for those organizations that need to comply with government and industry regulations, such as FISMA, PCI, HIPAA or Sarbanes-Oxley. A good security awareness program will educate employees on corporate policies, procedures, standards, guidelines and industry best practices for working with information technology. A critical (yet often overlooked) component of security awareness training is what to do in the event of a data breach. The minutes and hours following the discovery of a data breach are critical to not only preventing the attack from spreading but also to preserving the environment for forensic examination. Our consultants will develop a comprehensive security awareness training program and provide training that is designed specifically for your business.
Our standard approach includes:
- Designing a program that is compliant with the laws and regulations that apply to your business.
- Covering all the basics including physical security, password security, anti-phishing, social engineering.
- Providing training that is role based and includes all roles within the organization
- Diversifying the training content and delivery methods that include instructor lead sessions, self-paced training, simulations, games.
- Making the training intriguing and entertaining.
Information Security Audit
An Information security audit is a structured, systematic and measurable technical assessment of how the organization’s security policy is employed. It is part of the on-going process of defining and maintaining effective security policies. Security audits provide a fair and measurable way to examine how secure an organization is, by performing a security audit your organization can identify and remediate risk before they are compromised. Let our consultants perform a full security audit to uncover weaknesses and security gaps that exist within your organization and uncover the cause of noncompliance to establish an effective security program.
Our standard approach includes:
- Assessing security policies, procedures and controls to determine their operating effectiveness
- Conducting Penetration testing
- Auditing firewall configurations, website code and mobile applications
- Identifying internal control and regulatory deficiencies that could put the organization at risk.
- The delivery of a detail audit report
Endpoint Management
One of the most common and simplest ways a cybercriminal can gain access to your systems and applications is by exploiting known software vulnerabilities on your workstations. There are roughly 30-40 new software vulnerabilities published each day!
While most organizations know their endpoint devices are at risk, many fail to implement adequate security measures due to a lack of time, resources or budget constraints.
