Our Approach

Our comprehensive methodology includes three steps to ensure we understand your organizations’s unique challenges and address vulnerabilities appropriately:

We understand your organization’s current profile

Assessing threats, assets, strengths, weaknesses, partners, regulatory obligations and investments through our own research of proprietary data sources and talking to your team.

We measure your organization’s controls

Testing relative operational and program effectiveness through scenario analysis and walkthroughs — building a full understanding where your organization is and where you need to get.

We provide an actionable plan

Built to bring your organization to your target profile and help make a real difference. The plan may include:

  • Program, policy, procedure documentation.
  • Strategy development.
  • Procurement and vendor negotiation.
  • Identification, implementation and management of tools and managed services providers.
  • Oversight of team and program activities.
  • Test capabilities through tabletop exercises.

Ultimately, we’re here to reduce risks, balance security services investment, and build the confidence your organization and your board needs to operate through business aligned security.
