Our security and risk management advisory process starts with a unique program-level security assessment to identify gaps and quantify risks. We leverage our CISOs’ experience, the relevant industry frameworks for your business and modern api-connected tools to establish a clear understanding of the current posture of systems, applications and operations.

Your assessment includes:

• Current cyber security maturity ratings and targets
• Identification and optional quantification of top cyber risks
• Current software assurance and SDLC maturity recommendations
• Preliminary threat models for critical applications
• Cloud and SaaS security posture recommendations
• Prioritized program level recommendations

Your security program should align with your business strategy. We’ll guide your executive stakeholders through a collaborative security program design process:

• Objectives, Resources & Investment: Given the risks, security gaps and your business strategy, our process helps your team build consensus on what you prioritize and what risks you accept.
• Budget and Roadmap: Given your objectives and investment, we work with you to shape how and when you allocate resources and create the plan of attack.
• Cross-Functional Governance: We educate and empower executive stakeholders to ensure ownership and effective management of security-related projects and operations across functions.

Fractional CISO

Whether your company needs ongoing strategic advisory or an experienced hand to manage building and operating your program, our Fractional CISOs -- who have helped organizations like yours overcome the challenges -- make all the difference.

Building your first security program or restarting an atrophied program under an experienced Fractional CISO makes dollars and sense. Your team needs the experience of a seasoned security leader, without the expense of an experienced full time CISO, and must also invest in the correct tools, processes and technical know-how.

Interim CISO

If your organization is separating with its CISO, IOmergent can provide an experienced and vetted CISO on a full or part time basis to facilitate a smooth security leadership transition. IOmergent will work with your executive team to understand your critical initiatives, in-flight activities and personnel matters and then work to place and support the right Interim CISO in your organization.

Advisory services and Fractional CISO oversight are not always enough to build and operate a right-sized security program aligned with your business strategy.

Overhauling your corporate IT controls, correctly prioritizing vulnerabilities, coaching your development team, creating threat models, building repeatable and relevant metrics or preparing for compliance can require specialists.

IOmergent deploys its Fractional CISOs with an agile and experienced team of fractional security specialists to help your organization achieve its security objectives while you build or hire internal expertise.

IOmergent provides managed services and active security coaching to help cloud-enabled companies address some of their greatest cyber risks. The service includes:

• Development and tracking of business context for cloud assets including function, business criticality, and presence of PII and other sensitive data
• Analysis and remediation advice for high risk misconfiguration and vulnerability findings
• Identification of configuration drift and newly introduced, vulnerabilities and malicious artifacts
• Coaching and operational reporting to drive prioritized cloud security outcomes
• Integration with your development and DevOps process and pipelines

You can’t plan for everything. Whether you are looking to close protection and detection gaps after an incident or you have an enterprise prospect with a short timeline and strict security requirement, IOmergent can address immediate or unique projects that impact your bottom line.
