OVERVIEW
Why do you need a security assessment?
No matter how much you spend on cybersecurity, if you don’t understand and target your vulnerabilities, you won’t have the protection you’re looking for. An effective security strategy starts with – and revolves around – security assessment.
An assessment enables organizations to identify areas of weakness, make informed decisions on potential threats, align on security priorities, and measure the impacts of remediation actions they take.
To structure and guide this process, most cybersecurity assessments follow a framework – such as Center of Internet Security (CIS). Frameworks can be highly effective because they provide a system for quantifying performance, measure progress over time and demonstrate compliance. They also provide common language and a set of defined standards that help stakeholders understand security risk and align on cybersecurity goals for the business.
SOLUTION
Inform your security strategy
Truly understand your vulnerabilities and find out precisely when, where, and how to improve your security. We follow the globally recognized Center of Information Security (CIS) framework to evaluate your security. Our assessment focuses on providing the information needed to guide and drive your overall security strategy and budget. We will educate and help align your stakeholders on your organization’s security goals. Our security experts provide a comprehensive assessment and a ready-to-action roadmap for building your security posture.

Comprehensive analysis
Get the full picture of your security – unlike what other security providers offer. The CIS framework involves 18 categories (called controls) of business security, covering everything from how your network is segmented to the recency of software updates to data protection capabilities to incident response preparedness. We take the time to evaluate your security practices against a number of criteria in each of these categories to give you a holistic view of your security.
Actionable strategic plan
When trying to drive the adoption and execution of a security program, the most difficult challenge businesses face is determining how to most effectively allocate their budget and measure the effectiveness of their investment. That’s why our assessment goes beyond descriptive analysis and provides a prescriptive, ready to implement security business plan that follows our proven results-driven methodology.
Security expertise
Our assessments are overseen by an internationally revered Chief Information Security Officer and are led by certified Canadian security professionals each with over 10 years of experience. Our team brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in mitigating the current threat landscape and securing Canadian businesses of all sizes.
