IT Security Assessment
Data Security is something that must be pursued relentlessly within every organization. While it is the intent of all organizations to adequately protect their data, very few actually possess an effective strategy to achieve their goal. Many firms sadly assume their internal IT staff or outside IT consultant has this vital area under control. This is often not the case. Most IT staff members not only lack the needed expertise to properly implement a comprehensive data security strategy, but are already stretched thin simply keeping up with their daily responsibilities and more pressing, ever present urgencies
This is where the 415 Group helps. Our IT Security trained and certified staff enjoys coming along side the IT staff and organization to provide a helpful and needed independent view of the security landscape of the organization through a series of personal interviews, on site reviews and vulnerability scans. Our assessments are designed from a variety of sources and experiences to compose an excellent best practices baseline looking for weaknesses in IT controls, systems and policies that are contributing to heightened exposure of your firms data.
At the end of the assessment, our staff will prepare a lengthy written report of our findings that will be reviewed in detail with the organization. We also will offer recommendations, many of which do not require significant capital costs, to remedy the weaknesses found in our assessment.
If your firm has data that cannot afford to be compromised by either internal or external sources, the IT Security Assessment is an excellent, affordable and effective tool that will make significant positive impact on your organizations data. Don't be the next statistic of an organization with a data security leak, call the 415 Group and get proactive with your data security.
