If you haven’t already had a computer information security issue – you will 

Everyone recognizes words such as hacker, cyber-theft, viruses and worms.  Yet, as you’re likely aware, the problem is even deeper than stereotypical mischievous rogues attempting to disrupt companies haphazardly.  The sad fact is that you need to fight the unethical, those wanting simply to do harm.  Or, those who purposely wish to get into your information systems.  To reach your data on competition, strategies, or finances.  Maybe to misuse your visual brand.  They’re trying to steal your assets.  Reduce your long-term business potential.

But information security is not only about keeping the wrong people out.  It also has to do with choosing how to give access to the right people so they have the information they need to do their job in the most effective manner possible.  That means your employees. 

Then there are your clients.  Your business partners.  Your suppliers.  They all have different needs and different needs to know.  This sets up a complex set of interactions that needs to be managed as effectively as possible over the long term. 

We see information security in a different way

We understand the nature of information security as an ongoing issue tied into your whole organization.  So, it’s about a process of risk management.  About understanding the complex and ever-changing nature of the threats and continuously taking the correct, small adjustments to keep ahead of them. 

It’s also about policies.  Firms must follow a complex regulatory framework (national and international) relating to information security and the protection of personal information.  These are ever changing as well, so you have to stay in lock step.  And, of course, it’s about the tools too.  So, to really protect your assets, information security requires a systematic approach to resolve the complex interaction of process, policies and tools suited to your firm’s specific needs. 

Our approach is to understand and help you manage this complex interaction between your business requirements and the specific information security needs that will be right for your business.  This also involves understanding the changing regulatory environment, as well as the human and technological aspects of a security system that best suits your organization.  Working in partnership, we will help determine the best way forward through the potential pitfalls of a quickly changing and evolving environment.  We’ll ask the probing questions.  Think outside the box.  Understand.  Evaluate.  Communicate.
