Solutions for Optimizing Your Cybersecurity Program

Many organizations now have a better understanding of their overall cybersecurity program and their ability to protect themselves, and detect, identify, respond to, and recover from a cybersecurity incident—but they haven’t yet established a value-based organizational plan to address those risks and create new processes.

Businesses that have completed regulatory and other risk-based assessments or that have suffered a breach that has resulted in regulatory action have an imminent need to meet regulatory requirements and align with privacy and security objectives for organizational information and data governance.

Fortunately, there is a proven service to help organizations comprehensively achieve those goals.

Guidehouse Understands Cybersecurity Complexity

Building an effective cybersecurity program that meets regulatory standards has become an increasingly complicated process. Many organizations now face the new challenge of adding necessary security capabilities that previously were integrated into each new system or technology program from the outset. This is especially true when it comes to cloud applications like software as a service (SaaS) or platform as a service (PaaS). Older cybersecurity platforms don’t support these environments well, as they were not designed for the flexibility in operating environment integral to current platforms.

Given the increase in the level, scope, and importance of cybersecurity programs to the business goals of an organization, not to mention the high financial and reputational costs of a cyberattack, business leaders rely on Guidehouse to act as their trusted advisor in their cyber program efforts. Guidehouse’s Cybersecurity consultants have experience working across multiple platforms and service capabilities to build integrated solutions, not standalone objects. We understand the burden too many cyber tools in an environment place on both system architectures and the people and processes that support them.

Who benefits?

• Self-assessments

• Service Organization Controls (SOC 2) attestations
