Information Security Risk Assessment and Mitigation Planning

Information security is no longer an option – it’s a critical business function.

Headlines are littered with stories of massive data breaches caused by hackers or disgruntled employees. This led to similarly massive investments by the government and corporations to secure their information against rapidly evolving threats.

As the big targets have gotten more secure, the bad guys have turned their sites to easier prey. Smaller businesses no longer have the luxury of treating security as an optional feature.

Assessment: We’ll help you understand the risks your business faces from both internal and external threats. This process begins with evaluating your systems against various types of possible attacks. We find your vulnerabilities, assess the impact it will have on your business, and then come up with an effective strategy.

Strategy: We’ll give you feasible steps to what you can do to protect your information and systems. This is more than just anti-virus software and firewalls. It’s about getting the right people and processes in place to not only lessen the possibility of a breach but to respond quickly when one does happen.

Implementation: Want to jump start the solution? Our team can provide project management services to oversee the selection and integration of the right technologies and vendors for your needs. We can also provide leadership to help implement your new security business processes.
