Cyber Risk Management with Secuvant Cyber7™

Mapping business goals and objectives to cyber security risks and programs.

Cyber Security: You’re Doing it Wrong

Most companies who want to address cyber security start with operational and tactical security controls. They purchase technology from their favorite vendor with the promise of risk reduction and getting their security strategy from a solution vendor. This will always yield a recommendation to purchase their tool to solve the problem. However, the best place to start is not with the tool, but with your business, mission, and goals. So, how can Secuvant help you with this?

Brand Reputation & Business Alignment

Cyber Risk is Business Risk™. Cyber security readiness can no longer be just a technology-based decision as a breach will impact all areas of a business. Customer trust is paramount in business and your brand represents that trust. If you experience a breach it will impact your customers, your reputation and revenue. Companies must align their priorities first so that risks can be mitigated based on the business needs, goals, growth, and impact.

Finding Gaps and Risks

Through the process of a cyber risk assessment of a company’s infrastructure and IT environment, Secuvant can determine a company’s current security maturity level, assess for best improvement, and create a plan. This step is implemented through information gathering, vulnerability scans, and on-site interviews.

Security Maturity

The validation of a company’s cyber state, as achieved through the gap and risk assessment is then processed into Secuvant’s Maturity Score. This allows Secuvant to benchmark your current posture and measure consistently as we implement your new cyber security program.

Risks vs. Costs

Businesses need to prioritize risks that could impact operations, people, and processes including compliance requirements. Since resources are not unlimited costs need to be considered in relation to risk reduction. Risks will never be totally eliminated yet unlimited money can be spent that may not have direct risk impact. Secuvant finds the optimal level of spend vs. risk reduction for clients.

Cyber Security Risk Management

Once a company understands business risks related to security, finds the gaps and risks associated with the current maturity and sets a baseline it is time to execute on controls to reduce those risks. Secuvant helps provide a formal risk program using a proven methodology and Secuvant cyberRPM Web application to find business impact and address the probability of risk for both compliance and governance.

Implement Controls

At this point, it is time to put the plan that has been crafted for a customer into action. The depth and magnitude of Secuvant’s programs exist specifically to fit each customer’s specific needs. As a part of Secuvant’s cyberMDR™ Managed Detection & Response service, controls and analytics are defined and set within each customer’s program.
