Risk Management

Understanding Risk Management

In a world with evolving cyber threats and the deployment of vulnerable technologies, it is essential to determine all the weak areas of their IT infrastructure. It proactively prepares them for threats. Cybersecurity risk management is an approach that involves assessing the current IT infrastructure of all the vulnerabilities to strengthen the cybersecurity posture. It involves prioritizing threats for a quick response and developing a strategy for an event of a cyber attack.

Why Risk Management?

Augmenting cybersecurity infrastructure for quick identification, analysis, and response is essential.It is equally important to treat the IT infrastructure of all the vulnerabilities and risks such that it does not become a primary threat vector. Cybercriminals are evolving with time, deploying sophisticated attacks such as emerging technologies and complex masking strategies to penetrate the defenses.

Their techniques have become immune to the security measures that organizations deploy without much analysis of the impact or risks prevalent in their current infrastructure. It causes the loss of millions of dollars, not to mention, huge reputational damage and loss of data. This is why cyber risk management is a must for every organization.

Our approach

Through a series of steps, we identify all the vulnerabilities and potential cyber risks within an IT infrastructure and recommend measures to mitigate them and strengthen your cybersecurity posture.

We take a meticulous approach to gauging and treating risks.

The following are the steps that we engage in for risk management.

Scoping
Identification and Assessment
Control
Audit and Review

It is the first step, where we define the scope of the risk assessment encompassing all the resources, endpoints, servers, and other aspects of the infrastructure to be covered.

Defining the scope is important because it dictates what parties and elements will be involved and helps us plan out and allocate the correct amount of resources, experts, and solutions. In this, we take the help of the organizational representatives to better understand their needs.

It helps us to clearly define the outcomes and objectives of risk assessment. Scoping ensures that the whole process is carried out without any loss of additional resources or time.

The next step after scoping is the identification of all the underlying risks and vulnerabilities in the IT infrastructure. We do so by engaging in penetration tests designed to identify and assess the organization for all its vulnerabilities.

In VAPT, our team of ethical hackers uses the most offensive techniques to hunt for vulnerabilities in websites and applications. Based on the identification, they categorize the risks as per their level of severity. Upon identification, an assessment report is prepared to state how various vulnerabilities and risks will impact the different parts of the organization.

They recommend the steps to be implemented for remediation and improvement of the cybersecurity posture.

Let alone identification of risks isn’t enough. There must be deployment of the right set of measures that will help mitigate and prevent risks. Therefore, post-identification and assessment of the vulnerabilities, risk control measures are taken. It consists of preparation and implementation of a detailed set of technologies, guidelines, rules, policies, procedures, and measures.

It involves all the security and management controls along with the various roles and responsibilities of key personnel. This is the most critical stage since it has an organizational impact and it determines how various threats and vulnerabilities will be addressed.

Once the right set of controls is implemented, we conduct an audit of the existing cybersecurity infrastructure to assess whether everything is functioning well. We review all the policies, rules, and procedures that are implemented and test whether they work in a stressful environment. We conduct a thorough assessment of all the security measures, management, and security controls that are implemented to make sure that there are no gaps in the security infrastructure.

If, in any case, vulnerabilities or anomalies are found, we take measures to treat them. Once everything is done, we engage in the documentation and prepare a report that can be used for fulfilling various statutory and regulatory requirements if needed in the future.

Our Compliance Services

Vulnerability and Risk Assessment

We conduct risk and vulnerability assessments at the organizational level to gauge the levels of security within the current IT infrastructure of an organization. They determine the policies, measures, rules, and procedures to be included while devising a compliance plan.

These vulnerability and risk assessments ensure that the organization’s status quo cybersecurity posture is strengthened through a series of measures, suggestions and rules implemented post the assessments.

Policy Management

Most cyberattacks happen not because of the lack of top-notch cybersecurity solutions but lack of expertise to set the right policies for optimal performance. Without the right set of policies, even the most expensive cybersecurity solutions are bound to fail. It is critical to frame the right policies across different cybersecurity solutions, devices, and network security systems such that they perform effectively. These policies dictate the courses of action in cybersecurity, especially response.

We provide expert policy management services, easing your policy with the right consultancy in line with cybersecurity compliance. Our policy management inculcates industry best practices and rules to manage cybersecurity solutions, firewalls, and devices, rendering impregnable security for your organization’s most critical assets.

Security Consulting

We assist organizations in improving their cyber security resilience with a team of cyber experts and cybersecurity compliance consultants with extensive industry experience. We provide detailed guidance on various security controls, measures, and policies to be implemented to enhance the strength of your cybersecurity framework.

Through a dedicated team of cyber experts, you needn’t worry about compliance, incident response planning, or response to threats and vulnerabilities. From cyber risk assessments and risk treatment plans to external audit assistance, we provide expert consulting services that match your organizational requirements.

Implementation

Just creating a plan is not enough, implementing it with the right set of resources, technology, and expertise is critical. We ensure that the right technology is deployed with the right human expertise leading it with the right set of policies and rules through timely updates and patches.

We ensure the effectiveness of plans through post-implementation audits to check whether all the aspects of the compliance and risk treatment plan are incorporated without any gaps.

Awareness and Training

To eliminate cyber risks that arise from human error, we create training modules and programs that reduce knowledge gaps and raise awareness. With experts conducting training sessions, individual assessments of cybersecurity readiness, and mock drills, we ensure that all the employees have a basic level of cyber awareness.

We engage in preparing easy-to-understand materials such that every employee is equipped with the knowledge of the right steps to be taken for increasing cyber security. We ensure that organizations are prepared with policies, procedures, and roles at the time of response to cyber attacks. We create comprehensive documentation of the Incident Response Plan for easy reference when digital copies may be unavailable.
