We have the knowledge, skills and expertise to take a more practical, holistic approach to cyber security.

Compliance is important, but as threats evolve your security depends on your ability to adapt. You’ll need a cyber security strategy that balances your compliance requirements with everything else, without breaking the bank. But to thrive in today’s world, you’ll also need the freedom to innovate. Our consultants can help you avoid the traps and take a strategic approach to managing risk that can give you the competitive advantage you’ll need to succeed.

The 1% Challenge

Is your information & cyber security budget less than 1% of your global revenues? We’ve spoken to so many business leaders who spend 3-5% or more of their revenue on IT security, and we think that’s too much. When we dig deeper, we find that most of that spend is wasteful, which means there’s no money left over to spend on meaningful security measures that actually work.

We work directly with CFOs and CEOs to audit their IT security budgets and expenditures to make sure organizations are getting the best value from their security investments. We call this the 1% Challenge. The process takes around 5 days and it’s a free service for qualifying organizations.

Technology Strategy and Architecture

Yes, we work with CIOs and CTOs develop technology strategies, roadmaps, project delivery plans, costings and reference architectures. Maybe you want to migrate your workloads to the cloud. Or you want to decommission your datacentre. On the other hand, maybe you’ve decided to exit the cloud and repatriate your workloads back into your datacentre.

Cyber Risk Quantification and Optimization

We quantify and optimize cyber risk. That means we know how to use data to accurately estimate the unexpected direct and indirect loss your organization will encounter for your given inherent risk profile. We then examine the security posture of your systems to determine the extent your existing controls actually treat your cyber risks. Our cyber control recommendations come with ROI and TCO calculations, so you can make an informed choice on how to optimize your risks.

Optimizing risk means:

  • Investing in key controls that make a meaningful difference.
  • Stop wasting money on things that don’t make a meaningful difference.
  • Calibrating the residual risk with your organization’s risk appetite.
  • Not trying to eliminate or minimize risk.

Cyber Compliance

Compliance is non-negotiable.

We often work with large enterprises who feel they are forced, for compliance or regulatory reasons, to absorb the operational burden and cost of legacy security controls that are no longer fit for purpose and should be decommissioned. We help those organizations minimize the financial and operational burden of those controls. In many cases we have successfully compelled their external auditors to accept our expertly written justification for alternative compensating controls, resulting in massive savings.

Cloud Security Assessments

Are your cloud hosted workloads exposed to internet threats? Are you a single credential compromise away from being breached?

Firewall appliances might work for on-premises datacentre environments, but they don’t provide the same protection in public cloud.

We offer comprehensive cloud security assessments to identify key control gaps in your AWS and Azure environments. Cut out the middleman and work directly with us to get the most competitive rates on our cloud security consultants.
