Request Security Program Development

Security program development is an all-encompassing service that begins with an in-depth examination of a company’s business characteristics and IT infrastructure. From this analysis, security engineers establish the necessary policies, procedures, and technologies tailored to comprehensively address an organization’s specific security requirements and compliance obligations.

How We Create a Robust Security Program
number

Program scoping

We conduct a meticulous analysis of a company's compliance obligations (such as HIPAA, PCI DSS), business nuances, and expansion strategies to pinpoint the essential elements that the security program must address:

  • The security program takes into account the handling of sensitive and mission-critical data by the client, which may include personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property, financial data, and codebases.
  • The security program encompasses various aspects of software, including operating systems, web applications, mobile applications, and desktop applications.
  • The security program extends its coverage to encompass various IT infrastructure components, such as workstations, network devices, databases, servers, API gateways, cloud services, and more.
  • The security program also considers employees who operate within the company's IT environment.
  • Additionally, the security program addresses third-party service providers that may have access to a company's sensitive data or IT infrastructure.

Creating the current security profile

We engage in the process of eliciting and assessing the current security measures, which are formulated to detect, safeguard against, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity threats.

number2

Risk assessment

To define and prioritize the cybersecurity risks faced by an organization, we:

  • Our approach involves a comprehensive analysis and categorization of the processes and assets within the purview of the security program. This encompasses delineating potential threats to these processes and assets while also identifying any vulnerabilities they may harbor.
  • Detect the existing security gaps through policy review, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, software architecture and code review, social engineering testing.
  • We meticulously assess and classify the identified vulnerabilities based on their criticality, taking into account factors such as the likelihood of exploitation and the potential impact of such exploitation.
number3

Creating the target cybersecurity profile

We provide a comprehensive description of the complete array of administrative and technical security controls necessary to effectively manage the identified risks and effectively respond to potential cybersecurity incidents.

number4

Gap analysis

By contrasting the current "as-is" state with the desired target profile, we ascertain and prioritize the gaps that must be addressed to attain the intended level of security protection.

number5

Security program design

Depending on the needs of a specific organization and the service scope, we can provide:

  • A prioritized action plan on security program design or improvement with time and budget estimates.
  • A cybersecurity framework tailored to a customer’s business specifics and regulatory requirements. It includes processes, policies, and procedures on the managerial, operational, and technical levels.
  • A charter that defines how the security program will work in the context of the organization, including the scope, mission, objectives, roles and responsibilities, etc.
  • A tailored set of metrics for measuring the effectiveness of the security program and ensuring its continuity.
number6

Implementation assistance (optional)

Upon the customer's request, we are fully prepared to implement the entire range of measures outlined in the newly developed security program:

  • We deploy and configure network security tools, including firewalls, anti-malware, IDS/IPS, EDR, SIEM, SOAR, and more.
  • We implement essential application security features, including robust data encryption, input validation, multi-factor authentication, data backup, and more.
  • We conduct routine vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and other audit services to continuously monitor the long-term security of the IT infrastructure.
  • Conduct security training to raise employees’ security awareness, and more.
What Sets BeXPERTS Apart as a Security Partner
Pragmatic approach

We design a cybersecurity program that considers current security practices, the threat landscape, legal and regulatory mandates, business goals, organizational and budget limitations. This approach minimizes unnecessary cybersecurity expenses while ensuring comprehensive protection of your IT assets.

Measurable, KPI-based results

To maintain the consistency, adequacy, reasonability, and effectiveness of the security program, we provide a customized set of metrics aligned with Gartner’s CARE framework. These metrics may encompass key performance indicators (KPIs) such as the percentage of regularly patched assets, the average duration to address critical vulnerabilities, or the percentage of employees who have undergone security training in the past 12 months.

Safe innovation

Drawing from hands-on experience in securing remote access, cloud environments, and advanced technologies like IoT, blockchain, and VR/AR, we possess the expertise to develop security programs capable of mitigating the risks associated with the latest IT trends.
