NIST Security Assessment Save You Money
Here’s how they have helped companies like yours…
“EI is a strong partner for us. They have given us the ability to focus on successfully running our core business while they take care of our various technical requirements, support our end users, and continue to drive improvements to ensure our business is flexible and able to fail over to our disaster recovery scenario at a moment’s notice because they manage that for us as well.”
-Tim Werner, CEO, BlueStar Retirement Services
Because of the ever-evolving and increasingly sinister threat landscape of the digital business world, NIST has suggested several methodologies for organizations to evaluate and mitigate overall information security risk.
NIST has also set standards for identifying threats, estimating risk, evaluating controls and achieving compliance. While helpful, these methodologies and standards can add a level of complexity to an already complex issue for many organizations.
But with a NIST Security Risk Assessment from Enterprise Integration, we can help make your information security simpler and more effective. We’ll provide clarity into NIST methodologies, along with visibility into your IT security strengths and weaknesses as we assess the success of your existing framework and offer recommendations for improvement.
Why You Need Our NIST Security Assessment
Knowledgeable:
EI’s Security Operations team is constantly expanding their knowledge base as hackers and cybercriminals develop more and more innovative ways to penetrate and compromise your systems.
Expertise:
We use the same tools that hackers do when we analyze your systems – except we’re on your side. This allows us to aggressively scan your systems for vulnerabilities and then demonstrate how to remediate them.
Clarity:
We’ll translate the often puzzling language of cybersecurity into terms your team can understand, both in our assessment report and in any statement of work that may follow.
Productivity:
A NIST Security Risk Assessment from EI can help you boost the productivity of your IT security and operations through analysis of the assessment results and the offering of correlating recommendations for increasing efficiency and effectiveness.
Concurrence:
A NIST Security Risk Assessment helps get your organization on the same page when it comes to your information security needs. It helps to open the lines of communication and to break down any barriers that exist between those responsible for making decisions related to the level of security that your organization needs and those that implement the security requirements for applications, controls, data and systems.
Protect your critical infrastructure
Q: Will a NIST Security Risk Assessment interfere with my company’s day-to-day operations?
A: While our NIST Security Risk Assessment is very detailed, no, it will not disrupt your daily production. EI will work with your IT department to facilitate our analysis, so they may be a bit more active than usual, but we will ensure they are always available to perform their organizational duties.
Q: What happens after the NIST Security Risk Assessment is done?
A: We’ll provide you with a plain-English report that details your current security status. We’ll be there to answer any questions you have regarding our assessment and to clarify information on any current or potential vulnerabilities that are identified, along with recommendations for remediation.
Q: Once we’re aware of our vulnerabilities, what’s the next step?
A: At your request and based on our findings, you can determine which of your vulnerabilities you’d like to address. We’ll create a statement of work detailing how we’ll address them, complete with costs and timetables.
Q: Why is a NIST Security Risk Assessment important for my organization?
A: There are a lot of reasons why it’s important. Regulation compliance, vulnerability identification and security investment optimization are just a few. Your infrastructure also changes over time and can lead to new vulnerabilities, while new methods of attack are invented daily with increasing cybercriminal intelligence and sophistication. Having an expert occasionally check your blind spots is an invaluable way to help ensure the safety and security of your organization’s future.
Q: How often do I need a NIST Security Risk Assessment?
A: It’s going to vary depending on many factors, such as how big your organization is, how big your individual departments are, the level of complexity of your systems and infrastructure, the type of information you hold, and more. As part of your no-obligation consultation, our experts will help you define this frequency to help ensure that you stay on top of security threats.
