Security Advisory

Identifying and implementing the right core competencies necessary for a mature, robust cyber security strategy means, controlling the three pillars; people, processes and technology.

defend where possible
detect what gets through, and
respond quickly

This approach helps organizations defend against highly organised attacks and common threats that occur internally, such as accidental breaches and human error helping to implement the necessary tools, processes and controls to protect.

Secure Architecture

Today’s risk factors and threats are not the same beast as before. Conducting a "security-by-design" architecture and design ‘walk-through’ review can identify potential vulnerabilities and further insights for building, improving or re-engineering a design to meet the business requirements.

deep-dive security architecture and design before design phase
identify weaknesses in requirements and architecture, analysing common threats and platform-specific vulnerabilities
identify security gaps allowing deployment of a more robust system with fewer findings during security testing.

Reviewing the architecture and design from a security perspective will reduce the risk footprint, enable minimize costs due to re-engineering or retrofitting.

Third-Party Risk Management

The dependence on third-party relationships with increasing regulatory and public oversight, exposes healthcare organisations to a host of new and serious risk and compliance issues.

Managing third-party due diligence has taken on a renewed sense of urgency because responsibility for the actions of your third-party failings are on you.

Examine your business relationships in order to assess risk and regulatory mandates
Implement a pragmatic approach to identify, classify, assess, remediate and monitor risk and performance
Monitor your IT environment to detect and respond to security and fraud threats that third-party partners may introduce

Supply chains are a vulnerability for critical and industrial infrastructure, with attackers exploiting vulnerabilities to gain access to infrastructure, networks and systems.

Whatever your relationships, we ensure third-party providers are a source of strength to your business, not a weak link.
