5 Steps To Cybersecurity and ISMS Compliance
What do you get when you cross an IT Geek and the Compliance Industry’s Top Experts?
You get the World’s easiest solution to Cybersecurity and ISMS Compliance!
We took the Über experienced folks from ProtevSoultions and American Compliance Systems, put them in a room, locked the door, and wouldn’t let them out until they made Cybersecurity and Information Security Management System (ISMS) Compliance easy for EVERYONE! When they finally emerged from the room, they had taken thousands of pages of geek speak, and regulations, and boiled them down to 5 EASY TO FOLLOW STEPS!
ACS’ 5 Steps To Cybersecurity And ISMS Compliance!!!
Step 1: Identify the Hazards!
Having your business connected the Internet is a risky thing! Our first step uses things like Cybersecurity Assessments, Vulnerability Assessments, and Penetration Tests to identify the risks and vulnerabilities your company faces…every single day!
Step 2: Written Plans, Policies and Procedures
What do you do with all those risks and vulnerabilities that we found? Well, you make plans to lower those risks and fix those vulnerabilities. At Step 2, our experts help you create the very important documents that will help protect your business like:
And More!
Step 3: Training
So, you got an email from GrandMa that has a picture attached called “Cute Kitty Cat.jpg”. Harmless, right? Uh oh! Granny sent you a virus? What do you do now?
That’s where all of your training comes in! At Step 3, we teach your employees about the risks that you found. You train them on how to react and what to do. You teach them all the good stuff contained in the documents you prepared in Step 2!
Step 4: Monitor & Maintain
Good Cyber Hygiene necessitates constant monitoring of your systems, network, and sensitive data. Our ACS Cybersecurity Team can guide you through the design of an IT Security Policy that identifies what needs to be monitored and the frequency with which logs need to be analyzed. Through our Partner Network, we can help you choose the right tools to automate the processes of monitoring and log review.
Cybersecurity and compliance are not static things. To maintain a secure environment employees need to be re-trained, vulnerabilities need to be reassessed, and policies need to be updated in response to new threats and changing technology.
Whether it is testing your Business Continuity Plan, repeating a Vulnerability Assessment, or re-certifying your ISO or PCI compliance, ACS has the tools to help take the guesswork out of Step 4!
Step 5: Record Keeping
By now, you probably realize that each step has multiple documents that need to be stored somewhere. Furthermore, there might be laws that require you to keep documentation on hand for years! And where do you begin to put all those documents that you created for a certification?
A lot of different items fall into Step 5. If you are going for an ISMS Compliance Certification (PCI, HIPPA, COBIT, etc) this is the step where you will create and submit your supporting documents. You will also have lots of different files on what to do if you have an “incident” such as a hacker intrusion or a password has been compromised. Legal documents will be downloaded or created. So, essentially any document that has to do with anything about Cybersecurity or Compliance falls into this step! Our experts will help you figure out what you need and where to find it!
Once again, ACS comes to the rescue. We use State-Of-The-Art, widely accepted, and easy to use technology to store and retrieve your records! Great stuff, right? It sure is…It sure is!
