Security Consulting

DO YOU KNOW THE COST OF SECURITY IN A NEW PROJECT?

Consider the following questions:

  • In which countries are your clients, or your clients' clients, located?
  • What type of information does your company or your clients process?
  • Do you know which regulations apply to your business or that of your clients?
  • Do you know the consequences of failing to comply with regulations or contractual agreements?

Security consulting helps you answer these questions so you can define the requirements each project must meet and avoid any unforeseen additional cost that could jeopardize the viability of the business, delivery timelines, or any contractual commitment you must honor.

Regulatory compliance

GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, FISMA, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, PIPEDA, GLBA, SOX, data protection laws, etc.

Some of the questions raised above relate to compliance with regulations that protect different types of information depending on the region, the type of data, and the business sector. In some cases this is mandatory, even when it is not stated explicitly in your contracts.

You must keep this in mind if you store or process:

  • Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of United States citizens
  • Protected Health Information (PHI) of United States citizens
  • Payment data such as credit card information (PCI-DSS)
  • Personal information of Canadian citizens (PIPEDA)
  • Personal information of European citizens (GDPR)
  • Personal information of UK citizens (UK GDPR)
  • Credit information from any region
  • Information protected by the data protection laws of the data subject's country

It is important to consider that the above applies not only to clients, but also to employees, business partners, and suppliers.

ISO 27001 - international information security management standard for corporate security consulting

Policies and Standards

ISO 27001, SOC 2, audits, and your organization's internal policies.

If your organization is certified, or in the process of becoming certified, under ISO 27001 or SOC 2, you must ensure that your projects align with the requirements they impose. This leads you to capture every guideline in your organization's internal policies and standards, which in turn ensures you will not run into obstacles during audits.

Security Consulting
as a service

Everything described above is part of what we have been delivering as a service for companies going through these processes. Fortunately, we already have the methodology in place to support you in implementing it within your organization.

Beyond cybersecurity: holistic security consulting

Security consulting covers a broader spectrum than cybersecurity alone. A resilient organization needs to protect its assets across multiple dimensions: physical security of facilities, operational security of internal processes, business continuity, and integrated enterprise risk management. Our team supports you across all of these dimensions to build a cohesive, sustainable security program.

Operational security and business continuity

Security incidents do not come only from digital attacks. Physical threats, human error, operational process failures, and natural disasters represent real risks to business continuity. Our security consulting integrates disaster recovery plans (DRP), business continuity plans (BCP), and physical security policies that protect your facilities, equipment, and personnel.

We identify gaps in your operational processes before they become exploitable vulnerabilities, whether by internal or external actors. Operational security covers physical access controls, identity management in mixed environments, incident response procedures, and the organizational security culture that all staff must adopt to minimize human risk.

Enterprise risk management and third-party assessment

An insecure supply chain can compromise your entire organization. Our consulting engagements include third-party risk assessments, audits of key suppliers, and the definition of security criteria for contracts and service level agreements (SLAs). This ensures that your ecosystem of partners, contractors, and vendors does not become the weak link in your overall security posture.

We support your leadership team with executive risk reports, security metrics that the board can understand, and recommendations prioritized by business impact. Security must speak the same language as the business so that investments in protection are properly valued and approved.
