Your Parameter Security vCISO will start with a risk assessment to prioritize program improvements based on security threats and business requirements. Next the vCISO will map out security program improvements to be implemented over time at a structured pace.
The ultimate goal of our vCISO service is to see your company graduate from your current state to a mature information security program that runs in more of a maintenance mode. At Parameter Security, our goal is to liberate, and not occupy.
Every aspect of the security program should be designed to assist you in managing your risk in a highly relational way.
Parameter Security vCISO advisory services deliver peace of mind as we identify, prioritize, evaluate, and improve the management of the evolving risks facing your business. Our vCISO service covers the three most important areas of risk management:
Risk Identification and Assessment
Risk Mitigation
Risk Acceptance, Avoidance, Transference, and Monitoring
Whether your vCISO is updating or creating policies, conducting risk assessments, or working on business continuity/disaster recovery/incident response programs, you can be confident that someone on your team is managing your information security program.
Information security is not something you can check off your list and consider it “done”. A vCISO reviews your specific needs and manages your security program to create measurable improvement year-over-year. Consistent elements to an annual vCISO service include:
Analyze maturity of your security program to understand opportunities and establish benchmarks for improvements that will be implemented throughout the upcoming year.
Evaluate business operating conditions, culture, and compliance factors that guide prioritization and determination of desired security status.
Guidance to prioritize and plan work to be accomplished during the year as your business advances from the current State of Security toward desired goals.
Establish and manage goals for your security program based on your organization’s specific needs so that progress can be measured and managed throughout the year.
