Cyber Security Architecture & Engineering

Developing one’s Cyber Security Strategy - beyond rolling out more technology and tools - can be a challenge, particularly in a time of cloud adoption and remote working. We help organisations navigate the challenges of understanding risk appetite, identification of control frameworks, team development, operating models and metric reporting to support a pragmatic and achievable strategy.

It’s not uncommon for vulnerabilities to be introduced during the design stages, so it’s vital that a ‘Secure by Design’ (SbD) approach is adopted to minimise this. SbD is a recognised methodology for applying a range of security practices and following the concept of security being built into systems by design, instead of being added retrospectively.

We design solutions based on regulatory or best practice requirements (utilising operational blueprints). Design takes into consideration technology chosen, existing infrastructure, inhouse skillsets, etc. we always create appropriate documentation detailing design choices and implementation and operational considerations.

We guide our clients through any technical audit requirements they have. Whether assessing controls against the NIST Framework or simply understanding what exists on their network or cloud environments.

Review and GAP Analysis of existing capability to meet clients goals. We provide agnostic testing and demonstrations of technologies to ensure they meet business requirements (vendor choice, best of breed, market leaders, ease of skill transferral, regulatory requirements). We review, mentor, develop and recruit appropriate staff to operate the technology.

Whether it be a cloud migration or an MDR roll-out we can provide the skills and personnel required to support and assure your project on a temporary or long term basis. Our consultants are highly experienced and accredited in a wide range of cybersecurity fields.

Zero Trust has become a common approach in cyber security methodologies, but what is Zero Trust, should it be adopted as a strategy and can it actually be achieved? We can help you understand more about Zero Trust, assess your readiness and then design, plan and implement solutions to work towards a Zero Trust architecture, whilst minimising impact to your users and operations.
