Cyber Security Consultancy FAQs

There are many ways in which cyber security consultancy services can help your business. By conducting a comprehensive assessment of your business's current security posture, they can identify any weaknesses and potential vulnerabilities. They can then provide cyber security services and a bespoke security strategy that includes the implementation of appropriate security controls. This should provide you with the peace of mind that your business, critical systems and data are protected from cyber attacks. 

For some organisations and sectors, security risk management is a mandatory compliance requirement. E.g.) An organisation would be unable to achieve ISO 27001 without security risk management. 

All organisations face cyber security risks. Risk management enables organisations to define the roles and responsibilities for risk management, the methodology to follow and to track the organisations decisions and plans to treat or tolerate risks in accordance with a company risk appetite. The absence of a risk management process may influence business opportunities or cause concern for 3rd parties when responding to supply chain questionnaires, bids or RFIs.  

An absence of security risk management may result in an organisation more susceptible to security incidents, data loss, service outages and financial or reputational impacts.  

ISO certification, such as ISO 27001 demonstrates that an organisation has implemented and achieved compliance to an international standard for an information security management system. An ISO certification demonstrates a level of maturity and compliance. Is that enough? That would depend on your organisations risk appetite, compliance requirements and the potential impact if that supplier was targeted or disrupted. Depending on how critical that supplier is to your business, should influence the assurances and level of maturity that you expect to see. As the supplier’s criticality relates to your business obligations, operations and requirements. 

Yes. The Bridewell architecture and cloud security teams consist of consultants with hands on skills, knowledge and experience of multi-cloud solutions and cloud assessments. Bridewell are vendor agnostic and provide impartial consultancy to enable clients to overcome challenges or to fulfil their business objectives. 

  • Bridewell consultants can work with clients to form a business case before an organisation selects a new technology or can review existing technologies. For example, a review may evaluate the effectiveness of the control, look for quick wins, consider opportunities for tuning and optimisation. A review of the people and processes who use the technology may identify a training need to further utilise the technology. 

  • Risk management consulants can assist with Annual Loss Expectancy (ALE) calculations to compare the cost of the technical control against the expected cost incurred through an actual security incident. 

  • Other possible options include running a proof of concept to trial or compare technologies, or conducting a strategic review of the organisations risks, maturity, business drivers and requirements to aid informed decision making.
