Our security journey
Three steps to a secure IT environmentViruses, phishing emails, ransomware... you don't want that. Your company's IT environment needs to be secure. But is it? And if not, what should you do? Where do you start?
Our security journey will help you. We will provide basic security for your company's IT environment in three steps:
1. Check: how secure is your IT environment?
2. Improve: adapting your IT environment
3. Monitoring and behaviour: staying safe
Check: how secure is your IT environment?
First, we will take a thorough inventory of your IT environment and look at how secure your business currently is. We do this using our Cyber Security Assessment Tool (CSAT).
The Cyber Security Assessment Tool
Using our Cyber Security Assessment Tool (CSAT), we will take a look at the security status of your company's IT environment. The CSAT is based on the CIS 18 framework, an internationally accepted framework of 18 security controls and measures. The tool also analyses from the principles of NIS2, the European cybersecurity directive. As a result, you will have a good basis for your company to become NIS2-proof.
The CSAT consists of a comprehensive technical analysis and a questionnaire. The automated scan quickly and effectively checks your corporate network, endpoints and your Microsoft 365 and Azure environment. All possible vulnerabilities come to light. Additionally, our security specialist runs through the questionnaire together with you or a colleague. This also creates a clear picture of your organisation's security processes and procedures.
Advisory report
The CSAT results in a management summary and a very comprehensive and clear advisory report, including action points for your company. We will discuss this report with you. It will indicate what your company is doing well, but also where there are risks, how big these risks are, and how we can minimise them.
If that's what you want, then we'll be happy to take you to the next step in which we will concretely improve security for your business.
Improve your IT environment
Staying safe through monitoring and behaviour
Once everything has been set up for you, we will make sure that your security remains at the set level. We do this by constantly monitoring your IT environment and intervening where necessary. Staying secure also means training your employees, because they play a crucial role in information security. Sharing sensitive information, clicking on a dubious e-mail, logging on to insecure networks... careless action by your employees is a daily risk. What we also recommend is to have us perform the CSAT scan (see phase 1) on a regular basis, so that you constantly know where you stand and what you may need to improve further.
We will support you in this phase with professional IT management, setting up security policies, awareness training for your employees and a periodic CSAT scan:
Professional IT management
With our IT management, you can be assured of a good night's sleep without being kept awake by IT issues. Because we relieve you of all your worries. We monitor your IT environment and provide technical and functional management. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; remotely and on-site. Our management department monitors daily for deviations from the set security level and corrects deviations if necessary. Management also takes care of installing the latest updates and patches, makes backups and cleans up, exactly according to the specifications of the security level.
We can also help you set up a clear security policy. That basis is necessary to train your staff. We take your employees through the principles of the policy and make sure they know the rules of the game. From this basis , we then train your staff's security awareness through our security awareness programme. So that, for example, they will recognise a phishing e-mail, know how to share a file securely and know how to log into a remote location without risk.
Periodic CSAT scan
We like repeating the CSAT scan on a regular basis, preferably at least once a year, because your IT environment is always changing and new cyber threats are the order of the day.
In this phase, we like to take you through new and relevant developments in the security field based on an IT roadmap . So that your company always remains up-to-date and takes maximum advantage of technological opportunities. Together with you, we look at your security wishes and discuss concrete projects arising from them. In the IT roadmap, we record all projects and give an indication of the corresponding planning and investment.
