Finding a single source security solution isn't easy. That's why we've searched high and low to assemble our team of IT security compliance experts. No matter the challenge, we have the tools to comprehensively safeguard our clients' most vulnerable assets.
Managing The Toughest IT Security Problems
We encounter a wide variety of issues when solving our clients' security headaches. However, across all industries and company sizes a few stand out as repeat offenders. Do these ring a bell?
Lack of Strategy
Most companies operate without a long-term IT security compliance plan. This may work in the short-term but over time this lack of strategy often leads to unclear priorities, underfunding, and a lack of resources.
Inconsistent Assessments
It's critical to perform an in-depth assessment of internal controls on a continuous basis but without the right manpower, a consistent schedule can be difficult to achieve.
Missing Security Governance Policy
Managing IT security without an information security governance plan is like building a house without walls. Without the right foundational policies and procedures, there isn't a clear way to prevent or solve threats.
No Plan B
Whether the cause is an unexpected outage or hurricane, operational disruptions can cripple an organization. Having a strong business continuity and disaster recovery program is critical in emergency situations.
Ignoring Cyber Monitoring
Whitehat creates great end user experiences that make employees measurably more productive for the companies they work for.
Doing More With Less
Time and budget are restrictions for almost every business but selecting a sub-par security solution and hoping for the best will never yield positive results.
Each client's journey with Whitehat is different but here's a look at our security and compliance process.
Initial Assessment
Every managed security services project begins with an assessment to determine our client's strengths and opportunities for improvement. The results of the initial evaluation will identify a series of tactical and strategic remediation items that will be used to develop a custom 12-month roadmap.
Program Management
After the roadmap is developed, our MSSP team implements and manages all security governance policies and standards, business continuity plans, cyber security tools, and compliance controls. These projects are executed in a way that does not require additional client support or staff.
“We love the idea of being able to view all security activity through a single pane of glass like Whitehat offers.”
