They are no longer confined to corporate borders.

Such a framework connects on one end with organizational requirements such as business mandates, and statutory/regulatory/contractual mandates, and on the other end, with industry accredited standards, frameworks, and good practices to ensure a many to many mapping and holistic coverage of current and forecasted requirements. This is a scalable framework that can be applied at various levels of an organization for relevance and cost savings.

We have served as interim and/or fractional CISO for many client organizations. This stands true for various other leadership roles that take a significant time to fill, while the business takes a hit with no one at the helm. Our CISO-on-demand can not only keep the business steered in the right direction, he/she can also embark on a rapid transformation to ensure that by the time a permanent replacement is hired, any necessary program course correction has at least been identified, even if not fully implemented. Graceful handoff of CISO duties to the newly hired replacement ensures complete knowledge transfer, and sharing of lessons learned, allowing the new CISO to start achieving success in a relatively shorter timeframe.

Measuring your cybersecurity organization's performance becomes a challenge when there are disparate technology platforms and data cannot be aggregated in a dashboard. Equally important, it’s a challenge to quantify how your workforce is prioritizing and spending its time and efforts to keep the organization secure. This can only happen when your individual platforms, business processes, third party relationships, and data consumption can roll up to a level where your organizational metrics align with business requirements. This service has brought this connected and roll-up view to several of our clients. With these metrics in place, our clients are able to make timely data-driven decisions to ensure their investments are yielding value, and do course correction in their resource planning.

There’s a disconnect between noisy Alerts and meaningful KPI’s/SLA’s. The compliance investment you made can create real Business ROI by taking steps to increase maturity. Take that one step further, and all of this data still requires manual interpretation of results. Our service provides means to generate custom dashboards that can be built on top of your existing GRC platform. If you don't have a GRC platform, data can be correlated and rolled up with business context to display in a meaningful format in a few other select enterprise reporting platforms such as Tableau and others.
