Cyber Security Consulting Services and Strategies to put you on top.

Every business faces its own set of challenges, from rules and regulations to highly sophisticated data security threats. And regardless of company size, one-on-one counsel from a dedicated cyber security engineer is often essential to keep pace. Still short of hiring a CTO, it can be challenging to pinpoint hidden vulnerabilities, draft the right action plan, or choose the best technologies for your environment to safeguard data assets and comply with new laws—particularly within our fast-paced and ever-adapting threat landscape.

But with our Cyber Security Consulting, we offer a no-compromise solution that eliminates new hire commitments while delivering the executive-level counsel needed to succeed. Gain a level of service previously only afforded by larger enterprises. We’ll work alongside management to best align security policies and practices with business objectives to advance your operational goals.

Tap into a vast knowledge base while implementing cyber security strategies that work perfectly with your business model and budget. Enjoy on-demand and as-needed support from experienced consultants who are able to step in when you need us most. We specialize in executive advisory support, vendor assessment, and policy and technical implementation. And we’re available on a one-time or ongoing basis to ensure you address the myriad of security situations that present themselves throughout the year.

Why hire an information security consultant?

1. Our advisory services are designed to meet security project goals in shorter time periods.

We shelter clients from risk.

We take an impartial look at operations, benchmarking your environment with comparable organizations and situations. From security program design through audit preparation, our clients benefit from insight gleaned from our unique vantage point.

Blending business acumen with cyber security expertise, we can step in to consult on vendor risk management, business continuity planning, technical security controls, vulnerability management, web application security, and compliance matters under GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI. We also conduct penetration testing and forensic investigation, with cyber security project managers at hand to plan, orchestrate, and execute major undertakings and ensure an optimal ROI. And our clients gain all of this on an on-demand, part-time, or full-time basis. This reduces the likelihood of data breaches for those that we provide security solutions for.

Strategy and Advisory Services

Every business reaches a point that necessitates the level of insight unattainable through in-house staff. We help you better compete, innovate, and grow by augmenting your existing expertise with the right blend of business and cybersecurity counsel.

Product-specific Expertise

Simple strategies go only so far to take organizations where they need to be. That’s why we take an individualized approach, connecting management with the most suitable firewall consultants, intrusion prevention consultants, SIEM consultants (QRadar, Splunk, Log Rhythm, AlienVault), network access control (NAC) security consultants (CISCO ISE, antivirus security consultants, and vulnerability scanning consultants (Qualys, Tenable Nessus, IBM App Scan, and Rapid7). We know the leading security products. We understand how to implement them in very unique environments. Our team of hands-on experts focus on security controls and standards specific to your business.

Security Program Design

Safeguarding proprietary and sensitive customer data is a critical component to conducting business in the digital era. We work with clients to create a cyber security framework—outlining business objectives, assessing risk, defining tolerance levels, and prioritizing gaps. We can then implement your program, bring staff up to date on policies and best practices, and train personnel to prepare and respond to incidents.

Security Controls and Compliance

Work with a team of professionals who can advise executive management and design procedures that adhere to the latest laws, industry standards, and government regulations. We help clients assess their risk versus controls to comply with PCI Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), GDPR, HIPAA, EI3PA, GLBA FFIEC, NIST 800-53, and ISO 27002.

Why should you conduct a penetration test?

Even with the strongest security and safeguards in place, vulnerabilities exist and open your company to unknown risk. Those gaps might be as unsuspecting as a database, an application, website access—even your own employees. And any of those access points could provide a direct route into confidential electronic data, such as financials, patient information, strategic or classified documents.

Pentest services delve deeper to pinpoint pathways to access, ranking the potential value of each and providing a clear roadmap for remediation. A penetration test is not only smart business practice but also an annual requirement for those who must remain in compliance with leading regulations like PCI, FERPA, HITECH, FISMA, SOX, GLBA, FACTA, and GDPR.

Let our team of experienced, ethical hackers conduct a comprehensive assessment of potential vulnerabilities, prioritizing those and recommending ways to block attacks before they damage your bottom line.

The different types of penetration testing services.

1. External Network Penetration Testing. We pinpoint potential avenues of network attack where access might be gained through internet-connected servers or network equipment by individuals outside of your organization who lack appropriate rights or credentials. We then conduct a mock attack to test security controls, developing and presenting you with a cybersecurity assessment on findings along with solutions and recommendations you can use to remediate the issue.
2. Internal Network Penetration Testing. We help companies mitigate risk due to internal threats against their corporate network. While external testing investigates avenues that remote hackers might use to enter networks, internal testing looks at ways employees or insiders might lead to a breach either through neglect, malice, or the accidental download of an application, such as ransomware or malware, which has the potential to bring an entire network down.
3. Application Penetration Testing. We investigate potential threats and vulnerabilities posed by the many internet-based applications in use throughout your enterprise. Conveniently accessed from any location worldwide and just as easily breached, web applications offer significant points of access into credit card, customer, and financial data. Vulnerability assessment services investigate the security of those solutions and controls in place, providing recommendations and strategies to block access to any data that might be stored within.
4. Wireless Penetration Testing. We bring advanced expertise in a range of wireless technologies, offering ethical hacking services to investigate and identify potential access points where hackers could enter your internal network. This involves threat assessment and security control audits for traditional Wi-Fi and specialized systems. We then compile findings into a cybersecurity assessment report complete with recommendations you can put into place to mitigate damage.
5. Social Engineering Penetration Testing. We survey employees to see how well they understand your organization’s information security policies and practices, so you know how easily an unauthorized party might convince staff into sharing confidential information. Social engineering penetration testing might include badge access points and mock phishing attacks or password update requests. We’ll then recommend ways to improve success through training or new processes that help employees better protect sensitive data.

Our process.

We begin with a simple question: what’s the least probable access point a criminal might use to gather intelligence that provides the greatest potential impact on your bottom line? From this question, we outline possible targets of attack and entry points via electronic, physical, and human means. This includes information your own employees might publish in the public domain, weaknesses in email passwords or log ins, remote access, and mobile footprints. We then perform reconnaissance over the span of several days to assess potential vulnerabilities from all angles.

Next, we put ourselves in your potential attackers’ shoes to determine overall risk and valuation. Based on what we know about current capabilities, strategies, techniques, and tools, we document any digital assets you might have at risk. We then prioritize that risk based on the net asset value were a loss event to occur.

To put our findings to the test, we simulate ethical hacking attacks that are primarily focused on high value target assets. Those tests are customized to align with your unique environment, vulnerabilities, and technologies. Findings are prioritized and compiled into our recommendations to help you focus resources on areas that could mitigate the greatest potential loss.

The penetration testing report.

We present a detailed report on findings and results, giving you an overall picture of your security posture. Pentest reports are customized to help each organization meet their initial objectives and tailored to their own industry and regulatory environment.

Included in our report is a high-level overview and technical details around each penetration test along with your overall risk score. Know the probability, strength, and estimated loss potential of an attack along with controls currently in place to obstruct that event. Ensure requisite steps are taken to comply with PCI, FERPA, GLBA, SOX, HIPAA, or GDPR. You’ll also gain actionable insight and recommendations to reduce your risk in the short-, mid-, and long-term.
