It’s all about security. If you have an implemented cybersecurity posture in place and would like to demonstrate that to your clients, this is the way to go. Let us educate you on what is involved and what the ROI is on a focused SOC for Cybersecurity engagement.
A “perimeter in” review is conducted based on COSO, CoBIT, ISACA and the ISO 27000 framework. The assessment focuses on identifying threats to your IT systems and networks, their vulnerabilities, and the security risks involved in their daily operations. Security assessments help you take immediate steps to mitigate any identified risks before they turn into full-blown security incidents.
