Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) are often thought of separately, but in a highly functional organization they are tightly interwoven parts that are combined through integrated processes.  At Cyvergence, we help you achieve GRC Program that is customized for your organization–including point in time assessments. We can find the best GRC solution to meet your needs in the process.

Compliance

Compliance is a critical governance tool for many organizations. It demonstrates a specific level of maturity for an organization at a specific point in time. At Cyvergence, we cannot perform a formal audit, but we can help you choose a compliance framework that is right for your organization. We can also work with your teams to become compliant in conjunction with your auditors.

Risk Assessments

At Cyvergence, we know how important it is to understand what the key risks are for your organization. We also know how important it is to align your risk assessments to your organization. We can help you to build a one time assessment or we can help build the foundations of a risk management program that aligns to your business. We can evaluate your pre-existing risk framework and suggest ways to improve security using more than 1500 distinct assessment points.

At Cyvergence, we recognize that a solid foundation of Policies, Procedures, Standards, and Guidelines (PPSG) is the cornerstone of a robust cybersecurity program.

If you find it challenging to develop these critical elements for your organization, our seasoned professionals are here to help.

Peter Drucker famously said, “if you can’t measure it, you can’t manager it.” Assessing organizations is one of the most important things that you can do for your organization. Assessments provide you with a compass to see where you are at and where you want to go.

Cyvergence offers an array of assessments that help companies of all sizes. Being aware of the number and type of assessments. Our goal is to find the best assessment for your organization. Here are a few assessments we offer in-house, but we also work with many other organizations to get the right fit for you.

Maturity Assessments

Understanding the maturity of your organization is critical. It is important for both IT and Security teams. It can help business leaders determine how mature their programs are. We can perform basic CMMI assessments or utilize the Cyvergence Maturity Model for the assessment. If you wish to map the maturity assessment to a specific framework (we presently have NIST CSF 1.1 and 2.0, but can add others) for a more wholistic assessment, we are more than happy to help.

Cybersecurity Governance Assessments

Cybersecurity is not just a technical concern, it's a strategic imperative. Achieving strong cyber-resilience that requires strong governance processes at the highest level of management. Are you confident that your organization's cybersecurity practices align with its strategic objectives and compliance requirements? Do you have a clear understanding of your cyber risks and how to prioritize them effectively? Are you concerned you are not getting a clear picture of the cybersecurity maturity in your organization? At Cyvergence, we can assess your overall IT and Security Governance processes to ensure that effective oversight that aligns with your strategic objectives and regulatory requirements.

Cybersecurity Technology Assessments

Organizations are reliant on a plethora of cybersecurity technologies to protect their valuable assets from ever-evolving cyber threats. Are you certain that your current cybersecurity technology stack is is up to the challenge? What are the technologies that would help you to build a more resilient cybersecurity posture? At Cyvergence, we can help you identify the technology that is right for you and, in many cases, help you purchase and manage that technology.

Cybersecurity Program Assessments

Today’s organizations are heavily dependent on technology for their business operations. If that technology is not implemented properly, it can create security challenges for organizations that are unforeseen. Having a thorough assessment of your organization can help you to develop a path forward. We can cater the assessments from micro-enterprises through global multinational organizations. We can also tailor what elements you wish us to examine from assurance, business alignment, transparency, and so on – all to meet the needs of your organization.

Risk Assessments

In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, understanding and managing risks is paramount to ensuring the safety of your organization's sensitive data and critical assets. Compliance is not sufficient enough to mitigate today’s risk. Risk assessments provide a proactive approach, empowering you to identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential problems before they escalate into costly security breaches.

Cybersecurity Cultural Assessment

Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, once said that, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” By this he meant that even the best strategy will fail if that strategy is different than anything they have thought about before – especially if there is resistance to that change. Changing culture starts by understanding the central components of culture and why people behave the way they do. Culture is a combination of attitudes, behaviors, cognition, communication, norms, and so on. It is not something that can be changed quickly, but once assessed, it can inform leaders what the challenges are within organizations. It can be a good starting point to make and measure change over a period of time.

Cyvergence works with an array of partners on a variety of managed services. We also manage a few of our own services. At Cyvergence, we are interested in getting you set up with the right partner to help meet your business needs. Presently we focus on cybersecurity related services.

Risk Management

Risk management is a requirement for most compliance frameworks and it is an absolute requirement for good governance within organizations. In most situations, being compliant is not enough to protect today’s modern organizations against the threats from organized crime and nation state attackers. The right way to manage the environment is to discuss the need for people, processes, and technology through the lens of risk management.
