Chief Information Security Officers On Demand

Manage your Security and Privacy Program

A Security Program isn't just a firewall or anti-virus software. It’s not just having an I/T guru. A Security Program is a “comprehensive set of policies, processes, and technology” that enable an organization to reduce risk, manage day-to-day secure operations, and respond effectively when incidents occur.

In case after case, organizations suffering breaches are fined for not having a "Security and Privacy Program" in place before the breach occurred.

Protecting the privacy of your customers and securing intellectual property means managing the computing assets and data at the center of your business.

If you’re protecting a single office or twenty, the Working Security and Privacy Program helps you manage and maintain the information security of your organization.

You don’t need to be security expert.

You don’t need to be a computer expert.

We guide you through the landscape of information security, learn about your business and your priorities to build an information security program tailored for you.

We take complex security standards, policies and technology and translate them into guidelines and reminders that enable you to manage risk, maintain policies, train employees, monitor security, and respond to incidents effectively.

Contact us today to learn more about how you can take control of your Security Program.

Identify and Protect what's Important

"Risk assessment is the foundation of Information Security.  As the first step in almost every information security compliance and regulatory standard, organization must not ignore this vital step."    

Identifying information assets and the real threats to those assets allows you to make responsible decisions about protecting them.   Without this foundation, you risk spending too much on the wrong solutions to protect the wrong assets.   When you get it right, you demonstrate responsible care in protecting the information of your customers and your business.

Risk assessment isn't a marketing give-away and we don't pad our assessments with hardware and software recommendations we hope to sell. 

Working Security conducts risk assessments using National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines consistent with the complexity of your business and in compliance with industry standards like HIPAA.  

With a Working Security Risk Assessment, you'll be able to make deliberate and prioritized changes to your computing policies and infrastructure that demonstrate due diligence in protecting information.  We provide vendor neutral and unbiased assessments of your technology and how it mitigates business risk.

Testing proves you Secure Important Data   

"You need to know that your investment in technology is protecting you from data losses and public breaches."  

Business partners, clients, and regulators require that you regularly test your websites, networks, and devices for known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.    You test to ensure I/T service providers are diligent, to prioritize future upgrades, and for simple peace of mind.   If you don't find the vulnerabilities in your websites and networks, outsiders will. 

Working Security Testing Services include:

• Scanning your networks, computers, and websites for vulnerabilities
• Evaluating your wireless networks for insecure configurations
• Penetration testing critical application and devices
• Validating staff awareness through Social Engineering techniques
• Delivering a risk prioritized plan to address vulnerabilities in the right order
• Working with your teams to close issues and document success

Working Security delivers vulnerability reports, ethical hacking services, and penetration tests.   We provide testing services on-site at your business and remotely by virtual private network (VPN) connection.   All test services come with detailed technical results, prioritized to allow immediate mitigation of identified weaknesses.   Our reports and matching action plans allow you to demonstrate a responsible standard of care for the data you hold for partners, clients, and customers.

Contact a Security Advisor today to start your test. 

Data in the Cloud is still your Responsibility

In this climate, any business already using or considering cloud based solutions must act to ensure data is handled appropriately and service providers are meeting their obligations.  Your business data and the personal information of your customers is at stake.   The Ponemon Institute study of Cloud Security reports that Cloud Providers assume their customers and end users have more responsibility for security than the provider.  

Your cloud provider likely thinks security is more YOUR issue than theirs.

Working Security performs audits of Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Rackspace, Salesforce.COM, and other cloud and web hosting providers to ensure controls are in place to protect your business.    

If you are considering cloud deployments, we help organizations develop bid specifications and act as your advocate during negotiation and delivery to ensure your data is secured.   We've audited web and cloud service providers for years and understand the assumptions they make about your data.

Policies are more than Paper

Security policies are the backbone of your legal protection.   Without specific information security policies in place, employees may not be aware of their responsibilities to protect business assets and sensitive personal information.

Meeting compliance requirements, keeping employees aware of their duties, and legally protecting your intellectual property are critical steps every business must take.

Working Security Smart Policies are the foundation of protecting your business data.  

• Regulatory Compliance Policies (NERC, ISO, HIPAA/HITECH, PCI-DSS)
• Data Classification
• Protecting Data in the Cloud
• Acceptable Use Policy / Social Media Policy
• Smartphone and iPad/Tablet Computing
