Experts in delivering secure, resilient cyber and information services  - keeping your systems and data safe

In many organisations, security efforts are focused almost exclusively on deploying technologies on top of the existing infrastructure – the result is a reactive security posture, busy with activity and unable to answer the question “Are we becoming more secure?” 

Methods’ cyber security consultancy services help reduce risk and vulnerabilities from cyber-attacks by developing a security road-map tailored to your unique needs. We build-in effective monitoring and controls at multiple levels which protect your cloud, IT and IoT services, and minimise the potential impact if the worst happens and an unwarranted breach transpires. 

Methods helps organisations improve processes such as threat management by building an identity management programme, and establishing prevention, detection and response capabilities to cyber-attacks.  We provide security awareness training for all employees, which requires bespoke levels of detail. 

Our chief information security officer (CISO) as-a-service can build or re-build your security programme. We align to your industry specific security policy frameworks and security classification policiesto ensure your cyber security standards protect business-critical data that is aligned to your business objectives

Discovering cyber security threats

How can organisations assess their ongoing risk of cyber threats and identify an acceptable level of safety without draining resource and budgets?

Every organisations’ IT and Security department aims to prevent security vulnerabilities and reduce risk. However, this process is time-consuming, resource-hungry, and the threats are ever-changing.

Monitoring and maintaining a Remediation Action Plan (an approach for fixing security-related issues in your organisation over a strategic period of time) will not only keep your organisation within a safe limit – an identified acceptable level of risk by your organisation – but lays the foundations to demonstrate to auditors or 3rd parties that all appropriate measurements have been undertaken.

To find out how our security experts can help your organisation, you can view our webinar from Vision 2025, or alternatively you can contact us here.
