Meeting You Where You Are
Every business faces unique security challenges. Whether you’re responding to a cyber incident, preparing for compliance requirements, or simply wanting to better protect your business, security consulting provides the expert guidance you need without the overhead of a full-time security team.
Why Security Consulting Matters
Despite the fact large enterprises pour millions into their cybersecurity defenses, personnel, and infrastructure, we continue to see massive fines and data breaches caused by ransomware and advanced persistent threats (APTs). This highlights the importance of a balanced and practical approach for smaller organizations, where security consulting bridges the gap between business goals and security requirements, ensuring protection without overcomplicating operations or exceeding budgets.
Consulting Approach
Incident Response Support
When security incidents occur, having seasoned cybersecurity experts can mean the difference between swift recovery and prolonged disruption. We will help you navigate the complexities of cybersecurity incidents by providing clear, practical guidance throughout the response process. We help you make quick decisions about stopping the problem from spreading and getting your business back up and running. Each cyber incident is unique, and provides valuable lessons that we use to better protect your business in the future. Whether you’re facing ransomware that’s locked your files, think customer data might have been stolen, or notice something suspicious in your systems, we help you stay calm and focused on getting back to business as usual.
Strategic Advisory
Security decisions shouldn’t be made in isolation. We help you understand the bigger picture, connecting security investments to business outcomes. This includes evaluating technology purchases, reviewing security policies, and ensuring your security program aligns with your business strategy. We translate complex security concepts into clear business terms, helping you make informed decisions about protecting your organization.
Privacy and Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT)
Understanding your organization’s digital footprint is crucial in today’s interconnected world. Cybercriminals often exploit publicly available information to target businesses and their employees. Our expertise in privacy and OSINT helps protect your organization by identifying and addressing information exposure before it can be used against you. We examine how your business appears to potential attackers by analyzing publicly accessible data across various sources. This includes reviewing social media presence, business listings, employee profiles, and other online resources that could expose sensitive information.
Security Program Development
Building a security program doesn’t happen overnight. We help you develop a roadmap that makes sense for your business, with clear priorities and achievable milestones. This includes:
- Security policy development and review
- Risk assessment frameworks
- Vendor security management
- Security awareness programs
- Incident response planning
