IT Governance Solutions
Businesses should implement an IS/IT governance framework to ensure they can effectively achieve their strategic goals by meeting KPIs. Various standards exist to help industries in all economic sectors manage information securely. Those who adopt and implement a strong IT governance framework will undoubtedly improve relationships with clients and suppliers by showing commitment to compliance and building trust.
Safeguard Your Data. Become Compliant. Build Trust.
Decide which framework your business should implement based on your needs and IT security roadmap. Whether you work locally or internationally, regulations, provincial legislation, and compliance laws delegate policies on how data should remain confidential, secure, and accessible. Having experts on your side gives you an invaluable advantage over your competitors. It compares the organization’s current state (the “current state”) to its desired state (the “desired state”) and closes the gaps to achieve those goals.
Protecting Your Business with a Proper Approach to Governance.
Be prepared. Get the right governance framework to protect your business by adopting strategies that sustain operations through shifting global standards and evolving cyber threats. Implement tools that predict and mitigate risks according to changing legal regulations and cyber activities. Structured governance approaches help organizations quickly adapt and recover from unexpected events, support operational continuity, and reduce downtime.
Data Integrity, Confidentiality, & Availability
Enforce robust security policies and controls that protect data from unauthorized access and alterations. Ensure reliable access to information when needed. Safeguard critical information, build trust, and maintain service availability.
Organization-wide Protection & Resilience
Adopt unified strategies and processes that preserve all digital information assets across the entire organization. Reduce vulnerabilities and upgrade security practices by setting up clear policies and procedures that are consistent, effective responses to cyber threats.
Cost Savings
Refine resource allocation, reduce redundancies, and prevent costly security breaches through proactive risk management and standardized procedures. Proper governance lowers operational expenses and minimizes financial losses associated with data breaches and system failures.
Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)
ISO/IEC 27001
ISO/IEC 27001 references industry best practices for information security (InfoSec) management to create a global standard. Constantly evolving IT infrastructure requires a relevant guide to align InfoSec strategies with business strategies. The standard encompasses three principles of information security known as the CIA triad:
- Confidentiality - Only the right person can access certain information.
- Information Integrity - Information assets are stored securely and will not be erased or damaged.
- Data availability - all who should access the information can always access it.
NIST
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a United States government agency that advances measurement science, standards, and technology to improve economic security and overall quality of life. They assess how valuable information is given to public and private sectors while performing quality assurance, publishing standardized documentation, and improving regulatory practices. NIST-led initiatives, workshops, and working groups focused on cybersecurity allow organizations to stay informed about emerging threats, trends, and best practices.
GDPR
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) governance revolves around protecting personal data, respecting individuals’ rights, obtaining proper consent, supporting transparency, and being accountable for data handling practices. These laws are in place to assure the individual’s right to privacy. Organizations must obtain clear and explicit consent from individuals before collecting or using their data. As an example, this means no pre-ticked boxes or confusing language.
OWASP
Open Web Application Security Project is a nonprofit organization focused on making security software and web applications more secure. They provide free resources, like lists of the most common security problems and tools to fix them, helping developers and security professionals protect their websites and apps from hackers. With a global community of volunteers contributing to its projects, sharing knowledge, and promoting secure coding practices, they host conferences, meetups, and other events connecting people to discuss web security.
IT Policy Review
An IT policy review is the process of regularly checking and updating the rules and guidelines that govern how technology is used in an organization. This ensures that the policies stay relevant, effective, and aligned with current technology, security needs and business objectives.
