Security maturity review

Excellent hacking defense requires organizational coordination just as much as it relies on sound technical protection. While attackers need only one loophole to succeed, organizations must spend their limited protection resources wisely to be resilient. Achieving this resilience requires a deep understanding of an organization’s culture and core business processes.

“IT-Security must to support – not hinder – business goals! ”

Assurance assessments based on the threat landscape guide the IT security ramp-up

Root cause analysis
We prioritize found issues and address relevant vulnerabilities immediately without bothering you with irrelevant findings.

To fully resolve uncovered issues, we map them to systemic root causes.

Often times, multiple issues map to the same root cause, such as:

  • Conflicting incentives: Performance, cost, agility
  • Clashing security and business interests
Strategic counter-initiatives
TImprovements to identified root causes are bundled within strategic initiatives.

Initiatives and their constituent goals are designed to ensure long-term management support.

Only sustained initiatives can improve existing strengths and address systemic weaknesses.
