"In the IT security field, you fight knowledge with knowledge"

IT security audits

"We believe the professional network security audit service we extend to our clients provides a clear understanding of what we do, the conditions under which we work, what it will cost and the benefits the client can expect to receive."

We have Three Operating Service departments:

First, our Organizational Security Consulting (OSC), which serves in the discovery of security symptoms, and client challenges, and includes a pre-security audit, where we identify the security violation root cause, articulate the potential effect on your business and the recommendations to correct the security violation, the benefits to your organization in making the corrections and an estimate on what it will cost to implement the necessary corrections. A BIA (Business Impact Analysis) is included in this service.

Second, our Organizational Security Development and Implementation (OSDI), which serves in creating a tailor-made security solution that best serves our clients based on the knowledge we have of the client's present operations. Our staff will manualize and if necessary train our client's staff in understanding the systems and controls put in place to manage their security infrastructure and data.

Third, Organizational Client Services (OCS), which encompasses both follow-up communications, and a post implementation audit, usually phased in one (1) month, three (3) month, six (6) month and one (1) year, one (1) day visits after the completion of the implementation project. This serves to qualify the integrity of the implementation and assures that the client is on track to meet their security and operational objectives.

We differ from other security service providers in that our project implementations are covered by professional liability coverage. Our auditing services encompass both pre and post implementations showing positive security and operational outcomes. We diagnose, prescribe and then affect the cure of security violations while manualizing our cure for client reference. We must produce value on a daily basis.

We charge a nominal fee for our auditing services (OSC) and (OCS) to prevent curiosity seekers from obtaining a free analysis of their business. Our expertise in this regard is our stock in trade.

An initial audit can take from one to three days typically to complete. We go to work for you on a daily basis and must produce results each day. If not, the client has the privilege of terminating our services at the end of any business day. The only factor that governs the length of our services is your own judgment of the results you are progressively receiving and the value that you yourself place on these results. Our clients have total control over the services we provide.

We always seek to provide our clients with a significant return on their investment of our services and will provide statistics to verify such returns during the post implementation audit of your organization. This is part of our (OCS) services.
