Cyber Security Assessment and Process Improvement Offerings

Cyber Security Assessment

Organizations typically take a technology-driven approach to securing their infrastructure, when in reality; a business-driven approach is justified. A business-driven approach to security is unlike a technology-centric approach in that the business goals drive the requirements in securing the organization. Organizations often take a bottoms-up approach to security because security solution vendors often promote this approach to their clients. To close identified security gaps, organizations broaden and bolster their defenses by continually building on top of or adding to their existing security investments. This technology-centric methodology often creates an excessively complex and disjointed security infrastructure. It becomes difficult to manage and prone to unknown vulnerability gaps, escalates costs and eventually fosters unnecessary operational inefficiencies that inhibit business growth rather than enhance it. Instead of trying to protect against every conceivable threat, organizations should understand and prioritize the security risk management activities that make the most sense for their organization. We understand the issue in implementing a business driven security approach, and bring our expertise to bear in helping you make the most cost effective deployment decision for your organization.

Continuous Security Process Improvement Planning

Security policies, processes and tools must constantly evolve to meet new and emerging threats and vulnerabilities.  Just as business processes should be continually evaluated and improved, opportunities to improve security processes should be pursued.  The basis for any type of improvement should be objective measures of the process.  We have metrics that we use to establish a security baseline.  We can then assist you creating plans to implement improvements when they are justified.

Security Process Implementation for your organization

When an organization has a plan that can be implemented to improve its security process, often times it is beneficial to have experienced assistance in executing these plans.  We at InterLock have had significant experience in security plan implementation.  We can assist and augment your staff with a set of experienced professionals. 

Independent Validation & Verification of your security Processes

Independent Verification and Validation is an unbiased party's assessment of the work products generated or in place for a particular project, organization or business area. The unbiased party should be prepared to monitor and evaluate not only the deliverable of a project they should be able to evaluate all its aspects. It is important that evaluating party have extensive expertise in Assessments, Processes, reporting and due diligence. It is just as important that they have extensive expertise in the business areas they are to evaluate.
