The goal of securing your environment is an unending process of defence refinements and reviews designed to enhance your security posture.
There's mounting pressure for organisations to have certain cyber security certifications like ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials. The process of accreditation can be long and arduous as each set of criteria must be met and evidenced. Below is a brief summary of the options available to organisations that wish to improve their cyber security posture and achieve certification.
Our highly experienced cyber security consultants can conduct a gap analysis of your entire environment. The value of the report you receive back is dependent on your organisation's circumstances. If your organisation is well-resourced and skilled, it's likely you will be able to implement the recommendations with ease. However, if your organisation is under-resourced and under-skilled, successfully implementing the recommendations can be resource-consuming and costly.
You can purchase further professional services to assist you in this process, but the costs can quickly spiral due to unaccounted complexities and unforeseen events. It is also important to remember that each report provides a 'point-in-time' view of your environment, meaning that if something is to change, the report is no longer valid and must be conducted again, incurring even more costs.
The implementation of the reports' feedback is left to your team unless you choose to purchase professional services at an additional cost. There can be internal barriers to this process such as resources, budget or time constraints.
If something changes within your environment, you may have to conduct another gap analysis to ensure that there are no vulnerabilities that could jeopardise your security posture and in turn, your journey to cyber security certification.
Arctic Wolf is a cybersecurity specialist that provides 24/7 monitoring and detection, threat intelligence, and expert support to organisations. Its scalable solutions help organisations to proactively protect their networks and systems against new and evolving threats, while also ensuring compliance with various regulations and standards. Arctic Wolf offers a free gap analysis to organisations who are wanting to understand where their cyber security posture is currently, and illustrates the journey that they must take to enhance their cyber security posture, and how Arctic Wolf can help them to get there. The general process of the cyber security journey with Arctic Wolf is outline below.
By understanding your organisation's strengths, deficiencies and areas for improvement, Arctic Wolf can work in collaboration with you to determine what actions must be prioritised.
If your priorities suddenly shift, Artic Wolf will conduct a series of relevant SPIDERs to quickly and securely address your organisation's evolving needs. For instance, if your organisation undergoes a cloud migration, your concierge team will pause work on the steady-state SPIDERs and focus on a cloud-specific SPIDER. This will be followed by a customer-driven, guided implementation of the SPIDER recommendations so you can quickly return to business as usual.
As you progress through your security journey with Arctic Wolf, they will provide you with milestones to evidence all the work that you have completed in partnership with your concierge team. When undertaking a cyber secuirty certification, these milestones contribute towards the evidence required to show you have successully met the criteria.
If your organisation has the appropriate staff, skills and resources and is seeking to check and validate your security posture, then having a cyber security consultant conduct a gap analysis is a great way to improve your security posture and achieve certification. However, if your organisation is lacking in these areas, this could be time-consuming and burdensome as you will have to implement the feedback independently. It can also become costly over time as another gap analysis must be conducted if something changes within your environment to ensure any vulnerabilities do not impact your security posture.
As part of its service, Arctic Wolf provides its customers with a collaborative and proactive service that is designed to achieve the fundamentals required by most cyber security certifications which is to improve your security posture and end cyber risk. With two dedicated cyber security experts on hand to continually assess your environment and conduct SPIDERs aligned to your priorities and goals, Arctic Wolf is able to guide through the cyber security journey and help you on your way to certification.
