Security Strategy |

Security Strategy

Too often we see adhoc, reactive attempts at sprinkling security within an organisation, hoping that those efforts will be enough to keep attackers out and it’s data secure.

Instead, give clarity to how cybersecurity can support the business, consisting of a set of guiding principles that defines the actions people in the business should take (and not take) and the things they should prioritise to support the business objectives and achieve the desired outcomes.

Build the vision, strategy and roadmap of embedding security within your organisation.

Personalised Proactive Steps

Every organisation is different, with its own risk profile and appetite and its own business challenges and opportunities. Any security strategy has to be tailored to the organisation, taking into consideration their level of security maturity and their targets, while maintaining an understanding of the evolving threat landscape applicable to the industry they are in.

We provide guidance and actionable steps to gradually implement measures to mitigate risks and protect assets, focusing on implementing quick-wins and early prevention, detection and recovery controls, prior to tackling longer term ambitions.

Business Aligned Objectives

Security should enable, not hinder, your business objectives. Our service emphasises the alignment of security strategy with your organisational goals, industry requirements, and regulatory obligations.

Whether you’re pursuing digital transformation initiatives, expanding into new markets, or launching innovative products and services, we ensure that security considerations are integrated seamlessly into your business processes and decision-making frameworks.

Virtual CISO

A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) is a fantastic way for businesses (especially small to medium-sized ones) to get high-level cybersecurity leadership without the cost or commitment of hiring a full-time CISO.

Having a trusted partner fulfill a vCISO role even for a few hours per week, enables your organisation to have cybersecurity leadership to help guide and and provide your board with the confidence and path on improving your security posture.
