Typical Benefits

For progressive Enterprises, change is endemic and the drive to exploit benefits offered from new Cloud and Mobile technologies should be rewarding.

Making data work and be easily accessible by Employees, Contractors and Suppliers is expected; but care is needed to ensure that Systems and Data are protected.
Cyber Security will have to remain a priority for the foreseeable future.

The Cyber Security architecture needed for this new digital transformation is evolving.
Terms such as secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB), zero trust network access (ZTNA), and remote browser isolation (RBI), federated identity provider (FIP) encapsulating useful available techniques.

Having a rapid review by external eyes is good insurance and should result in increased confidence.
We consult with the Enterprise’s CISO and their team to learn about their concerns and share our knowledge and experience to help shape plans.

We learn from the Enterprise’s C- Suite their business priorities and feedback possible architecture options that minimise cyber security risk as well as providing independent review of current systems.

Overview

Our approach comprises interviews with C-Suite personnel after a suitable confidentiality agreement is signed.

We base our investigation on the same principles as those originally outlined in UK NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) version 3, September 2019.

This document provides guidance and tools to address the following categories: Managing Security Risk, Defending Systems against Cyber Attack, Detecting Security Events, and Minimising Impact of Security Incidents.

Our key methodology is simple: to encourage the Enterprise to define their “Data Crown Jewels” and who should have access and then to have a plan to protect them.
