Our Governance Risk Compliance (GRC) team supports our customers’ cybersecurity efforts through general IT/OT information security consulting, as well as the implementation and continuous maintenance of GRC platforms. This lets them comply with different applicable regulations and standards, develop regulated processes, and eliminate deficiencies identified during the performance of information security assessments.
GRC platforms
In line with our customers’ needs, we can implement multiple types of GRC platforms. We support our customers in implementing and customizing use cases in the areas of information security and enterprise risk management for all systems, as well as in developing workflows and unique applications within the platform.
Information security control system
Based on our extensive knowledge and years of on-hands experience in international ISO 27001:2022 standards, we prepare the company for compliance with the requirements of the standard, integrating the new, framework-based operations into the company’s processes, and a successful demonstrative audit. Thanks to this, the company can maximize its chances of obtaining the certification.
Information and IT security assessments
As part of our service, we assess the requirements outlined in the regulations, contracts, and standards applicable to the company, as well as the practices that are generally accepted and deemed appropriate in the industry, then determine the company’s baseline information security readiness level. Following the objective identification of the requirements, we create a comprehensive picture of the organization’s readiness level, as well as make recommendations for correcting the identified deficiencies.
Information and IT security risk assessment
We conduct an information security risk assessment of the whole scope of the company, or pre-defined systems, processes, facilities, and any other assets thereof. We support the organization in prioritizing the identified risks, as well as in managing them from planning to execution. Beyond one-off risk assessment, we support the company in designing risk assessment frameworks to ensure that the results are managed in a sustainable and regulated manner.
Information and IT security awareness
From an information security perspective, the weakest links are generally the users, therefore it is critical to ensure a proper level of practical information security awareness. We help our partners increase IT security awareness, thus making it possible to avert a significant part of user-related incidents. As part of our service, we design an awareness program, conduct training sessions, create awareness and test materials, as well as help develop interactive tasks. We also conduct practical awareness tests upon request.
Supporting the information and IT security leadership
Information security officers (ISOs) have an extremely extensive and heavy scope of work, which often presents them with serious problems and complex tasks. Mitigating these takes a lot of time and effort. Their scope of work has become a top priority with regards to compliance with the NIS2 directive. As part of our ISO support service, we contribute to the execution of recurring, as well as one-off GRC-related tasks, thus taking the burden off the company’s information security officer.
Business continuity
We assess the company’s responses to critical incidents, as well as the efficiency and prerequisites thereof. The business continuity assessment covers analyzing the effects of business processes, defining critical processes and resources, as well as assessing prerequisites that ensure the continuity and recovery of IT services. Based on the identified results and known enterprise operations, we design the business continuity framework ensuring the continuity and recovery of critical processes, as well as disaster recovery plans.
Preparing for regulatory compliance
In line with the results of the preliminary assessment, i.e. the company’s readiness, needs, and the applicable requirements, we develop a plan to prepare the company for compliance with applicable regulations and standards. For the whole duration of the preparation, we provide support for the implementation of the new processes and changes, the development of new activities and controls, and the creation of necessary documents.
For providers and organizations operating in high-risk industries, compliance with the NIS2 directive can be challenging. Our experts can help:
- Conduct information security assessment and risk analysis for companies, as well as manage the identified deficiencies and risks
- Perform documentation and consulting tasks, as well as design the processes necessary for compliance, such as information security policies or business continuity plans
- Implement technical controls that are necessary for compliance (e.g. SIEM, multi-factor authentication, integration of network devices)
- Provide specialist support for the assigned information security officer
- Identify the appropriate security grade
