When making security decisions, it often comes down to the risk of inaction vs. the cost of action to reduce risk. This philosophy is no different when it comes to cyber threats and liability. The increase in frequency and severity of e-risks - hacking, malicious damage, denial-of-service, sensitive information theft - as well as the liability costs associated with unauthorized access to clients' data and non-compliance with regulatory requirements, has made it imperative for organizations to know where they are vulnerable to cyber attacks and how they can protect themselves. It's all about building trust with those within your organization as well as your extended community of users.
ETSec's security assurance solution, ETassure™, serves as a benchmarking step on your path to security assurance. After you have successfully completed the key phases of our lifecycle methodology - determined your security posture, assessed your policies, ensured your environment is protected, and established compliance, awareness, and training programs - we conduct a benchmarking evaluation of your organization.
ETSec provides its assurance services using its internal experts, and may also deploy independent auditors and agencies who are objective and have strong certifications and affiliation with established standards bodies. Or, if organizations wish to educate their internal and external auditing agencies about the lifecycle that has been deployed, ETSec will work diligently to educate them on the specifics, methodologies, parameters, and components of the security lifecycle so that common understanding of the lifecycle methodology is attained by both auditors and client management.
