Cyber Assurance as a Service

The CISO function provides strategic direction and an open communication channel to stakeholders, to ensure that cyber security has representation at executive level. Finding the person with the right experience can be time-consuming and expensive. With PGI’s Virtual CISO service option, your organisation benefits from a team’s worth of expertise immediately to provide security leadership and strategic advice.

To ensure your organisation receives the right security measures, understanding the current status of your cyber security is the first key step that a CISO will look to establish. Our consultants review your organisation’s current security measures and—taking into account any specific aims or regulatory requirements—provide practical and necessary assistance on where improvement efforts will be needed. Depending upon the size of your company, and its certification ambitions, this can be an assessment against a range of different security baselines.

A strong cyber security strategy has a strong foundation. PGI’s consultants can help your organisation develop foundational security governance measures that will form the basis of your information security framework. Typical deliverables to establish your information security framework (ISMS), may include, establishing roles and responsibilities, setting up governance forums, undertaking security risk assessments, and developing initial policies.

Failure to properly embed controls into business processes can result in non-compliance, leading to data breaches and reputational damage. This stream builds upon and improves your ISMS. PGI’s consultants can develop an extended range of policies; progress key processes such as supplier assurance, business continuity, and vulnerability management; provide direction and assistance for addressing specific information assurance concerns, such as data loss prevention, or achieving ISO 27001 or NIST.

Information and cyber security controls are not ‘set and forget’ and should always be subject to review and continuous improvement. PGI’s experts will help you establish strong compliance processes, including developing effective metrics reporting, performing internal audits, and controls testing to ensure measures continue to be effective and compliant.
