Cyber Security Review Services
Cyber Security Review Services help organizations identify, assess, and mitigate vulnerabilities in their IT systems and infrastructure. By proactively reviewing the control environment, organisations can address weaknesses before they are exploited.
—Overview
Cyber risk is frequently reported to boards as a technical status update, which makes it almost impossible for directors to exercise judgement over it. The useful question is not how many patches are outstanding, but which business services would stop, for how long, and what would have to be true for that to happen.
Our reviews are control-focused and business-framed. We assess the security control environment against a recognised framework, test the controls that matter most, and report in terms the audit committee can act on. Where deep technical testing is required, we scope it precisely rather than commissioning a generic scan.
