The C-Level Security Certified Program begins before you contact us. Our security experts are focused on keeping track of r egulatory rulings and updates resulting from comments and workshops. The results are then applied to our methodologies to ensure our reviews provide you the coverage required. C-Level Security believes comprehensive certifications result in reduced spending for security and operational costs over time. Once C-Level Security is engaged to work with your organization our Certified Program follows a four phase process.

Understand

Each organization is unique and faces unique obstacles. Measuring risk, without understanding your organization, costs more of your budget than necessary. C-Level Security's key to providing a valuable certification begins with an understanding of your organizational and operational requirements. C-Level Security has developed a unique approach targeting key decision makers and officers within your organization with minimal impact. This provides insight into your risks that otherwise would go unmeasured.

Assess

Assessment begins by creating an inventory of your people, processes and technologies that support the system under review. This asset inventory is then mapped against the potential threats that exist as a result of technology, use and operational processes. The next step is to identify the vulnerabilities posed to your organization. The result is a clear and concise list of the risks posed to your organization.

Measure

Measuring the impact of risk after the assessment phase is a priority focus of C-Level Security. Utilizing the knowledge C-Level Security gained when understanding unique business needs, and the regulatory requirements faced by industry, risk is quantified. Quantifying the risk provides identification of where and how much risk is present to your organization.

Report

Reporting is the last step towards obtaining C-Level Security Certification. Reporting elements take place in the present and future. The present element is composed of a detailed report outlining the current state of the organization regarding compliance requirements. Areas where compliance is not met are highlighted with appropriate recommendations presented in order to meet compliance. In addition other risks, if present, are provided to ensure your organization has a full understanding of overall security posture in the event regulations change. The future element of reporting takes the form of periodic external assessments to ensure perimeter defenses maintain up to date configurations and security updates as recommended by vendors. These assessments provide a proactive means of managing resources.
