HomePlanning for and implementing a Federal information system is no small task, and unfortunately, compliance with specific Federal regulations and organizational policies is often judged by third-parties. Whether it be your organizations Inspector General (IG) office, or an independent assessor, it is always beneficial to obtain guidance from the perspective of the assessor. As such, we offer unique customized services that will allow your organization to effectively prepare for internal and external audits without the requirement for significant or long term contract terms. Using a service-based time and materials contract vehicle, you pay for only the services you require and only when you require them. Varied risk interpretations may result in "over protection" for information systems that do not require high levels of assurance for confidentiality, integrity, and availability, thereby costing your organization more than the requisite level of risk reduction.
What is more concerning, is that without
effective prior-planning, organizations often
spend more than is necessary and have
additional risks identified that may not be
appropriate or applicable to the information
requiring protection. We like to think of this as
a no-cost purchase. We strive to tailor your
security program to your needs, thereby reducing
added costs and at the same time preparing you
for future audits and assessments.
Training
NIST has developed an extensive array of
resources for information security professionals
and organizations; providing the foundation for
information security requirements within the
Federal Government. Thorough comprehension
and application of this guidance; however,
is not always clearly delineated from these
resources alone. Thorough knowledge and
understanding of regulatory and statutory requirements is a prerequisite for your personnel
ranging from system administrators to Chief
Information Security Officers (CISO). Using our
comprehensive approach you can successfully
integrate security planning throughout your
system development lifecycle. Thereby ensuring
a "defense-in-depth" approach is also taken in
your training programs.
