What is a Chief Security Officer?
SecureState’s Chief Security Officer (CSO) is a packaged information security program solution whereby SecureState becomes the acting CSO for the organization.
Why the CSO information security package?
In information security, not everyone can know everything. As such, the CSO offering provides a Fortune 500-ready security team to assist an organization with building and maintaining a security program, many times for the cost of one full time equivalent (FTE).
How we can help?
The CSO is broken down into three primary parts:
- CISO Role - Establishes a baseline for the organization and provides executive guidance to develop an information security program. Unifying compliance (PCI, HIPAA etc.) and security frameworks (NIST, ISO etc.) to develop a program that facilitates compliance but ultimately drives security.
- Security Assessments - The core of an established information security program is to ensure that the controls and processes implemented are acting as designed. Assessments typically include penetration testing, vulnerability scans, application security reviews, and network architecture reviews.
- Implementation - Building the information security program and performing assessments tends to tax internal resources with the implementation of the recommendations and associated controls. As such, SecureState has a focused group designed to implement specific controls that will reduce the overall risk profile of the organization.
