Business Compliance & Cybersecurity Made Simple

A WISP is a Written Information Security Policy or sometimes referred to as a Written Information Security Program.

A WISP is a documented framework outlining an organization's protocols, measures, and procedures to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

It serves as a guideline for maintaining data security and ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

A WISP (Written Information Security Policy or Written Information Security Program) is crucial because it helps organizations systematically address information security risks, ensuring the protection of sensitive data. It also aids in regulatory compliance, reducing the likelihood of data breaches and enhancing overall cybersecurity posture.

Not having a WISP can lead to increased vulnerability to data breaches, legal penalties, and loss of customer trust. It can also result in non-compliance with industry regulations, which can have severe financial and reputational repercussions for the organization.

We offer comprehensive information security and compliance gap assessments that include policy reviews and revisions to ensure they meet all applicable business information security regulatory requirements and address relevant cybersecurity concerns.

Additionally, we conduct specialized gap assessments to help businesses prepare for information security compliance certifications such as ISO 27001, SOC2 Type II, and others.

Our policy reviews and revisions include a thorough evaluation of your existing information security policies to identify any gaps or areas for improvement. We ensure that your policies align with current regulatory requirements and industry best practices, and we provide detailed recommendations for revisions to enhance your overall security posture.

We offer a range of cybersecurity testing solutions including vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and social engineering exercises. These services help identify and mitigate potential security risks in your organization's IT infrastructure.

A vulnerability assessment is a systematic review of your IT systems to identify security weaknesses and vulnerabilities. This process involves scanning your network, applications, and devices to detect potential threats and provide recommendations for remediation. Vulnerability assessments are passive, meaning we just identify potential issues, but don't actively attempt to exploit them.

Penetration testing, or ethical hacking, involves simulating real-world cyberattacks on your systems to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. Our experts use advanced techniques to test your defenses, providing a detailed report on vulnerabilities found and strategies to address them. Penetration tests go further than vulnerability assessments in that once potential issues are identified, they are actively exploited to identify the depth of access or disruption that could be caused.

Social engineering exercises test your organization's susceptibility to manipulation tactics used by cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. These exercises include phishing simulations, pretexting, and other techniques to assess and improve employee awareness and response to social engineering attacks.

A virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) is an outsourced security expert who provides leadership and oversight for an organization's information security program. Unlike a traditional, in-house CISO, a vCISO works remotely and can be engaged on a part-time or full-time basis, depending on the organization's needs.

A vCISO performs a wide range of tasks to manage and enhance an organization's information security posture. This includes developing and implementing security strategies, conducting risk assessments, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations, managing security incidents, and providing guidance on best practices. They can fully manage a company's information security program or support existing security teams.

The scope of services provided by a vCISO is determined based on your organization's specific needs and goals. We conduct an initial assessment to understand your current security posture, challenges, and objectives. Based on this assessment, we tailor our services to provide the most effective support, whether it's full management of your security program or targeted assistance for your existing team.

No, we do not provide IT support services. Our focus is on auditing and identifying gaps in your information security practices and providing remediation recommendations based on regulatory requirements and industry best standards.

We maintain objectivity by not performing the remediations or technical adjustments ourselves. This approach ensures that our assessments and recommendations are unbiased and focused solely on enhancing your security posture without any potential conflicts of interest.

While we do not provide IT support directly, we can recommend and introduce you to premier IT support providers who can assist with the technical adjustments needed. These trusted partners have the expertise to implement our recommendations and ensure your systems are secure.

Yes, based on the scope of our engagement we collaborate with your current IT team during the remediation process. We provide detailed guidance and support to help them understand and implement our recommendations effectively. This partnership ensures that your team can make the necessary adjustments while we maintain our objective stance.
