Converging people with the right processes is key to every security strategy

A company needs appropriate processes to improve cybersecurity. Too many and the company gets bogged down or people simply ignore them. Too few and it really has little impact.

Don't wait until you have an incident to build a plan. The CSO Advisors can help!

Combining people, process, and technology provides the greatest chance at reducing risk

Technology

Having a solid security technology strategy is the final layer in defending a company. It can be complicated. According to SANS "too many company's over spend on tools they don't have the personnel or expertise to support."

A Company's data and reputation are the two most valuable assets. A breach of data and your reputation is gone

Let The CSO Advisors show you how to protect both

SECURITY BY DESIGN BUILT ON BUSINESS UNDERSTANDING

Every business is unique. Each has their own security needs; cyber attacks, risks, data protection, regulations, threats….  With over 25 years experience in security, IT, product development, and cloud security, The CSO Advisors are positioned to meet your company’s security needs.

Our approach to assessing your company is easy. We walk through a simple questionnaire,  broken down into section to address the individual needs of your CEO, CIO, CTO, and Board, if appropriate. Each section takes approxemently an hour, or less. From there a report is generated outlining the gaps and risks.

Implementing reasonable security controls is the responsible thing for every company to assess and implement. It can save considerable time and prevent reputational damage in the event of a breach. It can also prevent fines and penalities from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC has brought over 60 cases against companies that put consumers’ personal data at unreasonable risk. The CSO Advisors have outlined a 9 step process in implementing reasonable security controls.

Steps in implementing reasonable security controls.

Having a solid depth in defense strategy and implementation is key to defending any company. It is essential to protecting the company’s assets, data, and technology. Defense in depth can be divided into three areas: Physical, Technical, and Administrative. The CSO Advisors will assess and build a comprehensive defense strategy perfectly designed for your company.

SECURITY BREACH NOTIFICATION LAWS

NOT ONLY IS IT A COMPANY’S RESPONSIBILITY to protect customer data, IT’S THE LAW. Forty-seven states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have enacted legislation requiring private, governmental or educational entities to notify individuals of a security breach of information involving personally identifiable information (PII).
