CYBER SECURITY

Companies need to protect valuable data about their business, their partners, employees, and that of customers. With our increasing reliance on technology and the constant threat of cyber attacks, it is important to make sure that this data is safe from unauthorized access and compliant with current regulations. This will prevent damage to your business which includes financial loss, reputational damage, and regulatory fines or sanctions.

DFARS CONSULTATION SERVICES

 

Trusted DFARS compliance preparation 

 

DFARS Compliance Preparation Services

 

If your organization works closely with the Department of Defense (DoD) or similar agency, then you must be Defense Federal Acquisition Supplement (DFARS) compliant. The main thrust of DFARS is to maintain the security of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) under NIST SP 800-171. We guide your organization to meet the DFARS requirements to achieve full compliance as quickly as possible.

 

To combat the growing level of cyber threats, SP 800-171 contains a total of 110 controls that must be met by DoD contractors to successfully comply with the DFARS. Our deep industry knowledge and experience enables you to quickly achieve compliance with minimal business disruption.

 

Who must comply with DFARS requirements?

 

All prime contractors and subcontractors for the DoD that work with Covered Defense Information (CDI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must be DFARS compliant. Also, entities with DFARS clause 252.204.7008 as a part of their contract must be compliant.

 

If you’re not sure about the status of your company, we can answer any questions about DFARS compliance to avoid putting your DoD contracts at risk.

 

Your DFARS Compliance Assessment

 

Compliance readiness evaluation may include:

 

• Review key IT security policies, procedures and technical documents

• Interview relevant business and IT stakeholders

• Examine workflows that include CUI / CDI

• Evaluate CUI / CDI access privilege control and processes

• Review physical and electronic data lifecycles

• Identify gaps in critical security controls relevant to DFARS compliance

 

Keep your DoD contracts valid. Achieve DFARS compliance with a proven team of security experts.

PERSONAL CYBERSECURITY CONSULTING SERVICES

 

Secure your personal reputation & private information

 

Personal Cybersecurity Services

 

Cyber attacks frequently target individuals. Even if the goal is to breach an organization, threat actors will often attack specific people first. Personal cybersecurity protects high net-worth individuals, corporate executives, celebrities, athletes, politicians, and public figures. For anyone who requires high-grade security, our services provide the best practices available today. We leverage our experience with military contractors to keep individual data safe from prying eyes.

 

Assess Your Personal Cyber Security Needs

 

Every person’s digital footprint is unique. The first step to personal security is a detailed risk assessment of your current digital environment, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, social media, internet connection, e-mail, SMS, images, documents, home, bank, business, and any other area needing protection.

 

Deploy Military Grade Security

 

After the assessment, we provide a personal cybersecurity game plan. Each plan implements the most effective tools and practices based on our extensive personal, business, and DoD contractor cyber protection experience.

 

• Military-grade protection against cyber attacks

• White glove security expert guidance

• Simple, easy, and effective solutions

• Covers all areas of potential cyber risk

• Hands-on training as needed

• Total confidentiality and non-disclosure

 

In many cases, personal security breaches occur due to human error, such as clicking on a malicious link or downloading an infected file. Social engineering attacks can mimic a person or company you trust. For these reasons, we also offer in-depth cyber training so you can remain vigilant against attack.

 

Leave nothing to chance. Establish and maintain strong personal cybersecurity to keep your assets safe.

CLOUD-BASED SECURITY CONSULTING SERVICES

 

Protect your IT assets in any cloud environment

 

Cloud-Based Security Services

 

The improved adaptability, efficiency, connectivity and data visibility of the cloud is undeniable. But new cloud-based security risks have also surfaced. Effective cloud security requires the right technologies, policies, controls, and services to protect your data, applications, and infrastructure.

 

Our highly effective cloud-based security services arise from extensive experience and state-of-the-art security capabilities. This includes turnkey solutions for you to easily implement 100% CMMC/NIST/DFAR compliant Cloud Based Services.

 

Assess & Protect Your Cloud Environment

 

Your cloud data, applications, and networks should be evaluated for a variety of vulnerabilities. From there, appropriate solutions can be applied.

 

• Attack surface: The cloud opens your network up to a myriad of endpoints. Every user, app, API and the third party must be secured.

• Lack of visibility: Cloud providers control and obscure their infrastructure layer. An added layer of protection is mandatory to keep your systems safe.

• Dynamic workloads: Cloud assets are provisioned and decommissioned at scale and at velocity. New flexible solutions are required to maintain strong security.   

• DevSecOps: Automated DevOps without security controls leaves the door open to attacks. Security must be implemented early in the development cycle.

• Access and privilege: Poorly defined access privileges can lead to inadvertent or maliciously driven network exposure. Robust privilege protocols prevent unauthorized access.

• Compliance: Sanctions and fines are applied by regulatory agencies such as PCI 3.2, NIST 800-53, HIPAA and GDPR. Effective cloud security improves compliance.

 

Evergreen Cloud Security

 

Given the rapidly evolving cloud environments, only resilient and adaptable solutions will remain effective for the long haul. We specialize in providing:

 

• Least Privilege and Identity Access Management

• Zero Trust cloud network security

• Next-generation web application firewalls

• Advanced threat intelligence

• Well-developed compliance measures

 

Stay safe in the cloud. Partner with a team of seasoned cloud-based security experts.
