Enhance your company’s security posture with our comprehensive security culture assessments

To understand your current security culture and what steps your organisation needs to take to create a proactive learning culture, Genisys can undertake different security culture assessments. These reviews indicate where your business lands on the Cybersecurity Maturity Model and what steps should be prioritised. Another important aspect that a security culture assessment provides an organisation is the employee’s perception of security. This assessment measures what employees believe about the overall role and implementation of cybersecurity within their organisation.

Furthermore, conducting security culture assessments allows an organisation to understand the security behaviour of its staff. Such as how employees store sensitive data and passwords, the process needed to report a security incident, and the ability to identify cybersecurity risks/ cyberattacks. All crucial elements will help an organisation evaluate security risk.

Vulnerability Assessment

A comprehensive evaluation of the company’s systems, networks, and applications to identify potential security vulnerabilities. Genisys vulnerability assessment process includes:

Scanning: The first step in a vulnerability assessment is to scan the organisation’s systems, networks, and applications for potential vulnerabilities. This can be done using automated tools or manual testing methods.
Analysis: The results of the scanning are then analysed to identify potential security vulnerabilities and prioritise them based on their severity and likelihood of being exploited.
Report Generation: A detailed report is generated that summarises the results of the vulnerability assessment, including a list of identified vulnerabilities, a description of each vulnerability, and recommendations for remediation.
Remediation: Based on the results of the vulnerability assessment, recommendations for remediation are provided to the organisation. These may include updating software, configuring systems to be more secure, or implementing additional security measures.
Validation: After remediation has been completed, the vulnerability assessment process is repeated to ensure that the identified vulnerabilities have been successfully remediated.

Employee Awareness Training

Training for employees to raise awareness of the importance of cybersecurity and promote a culture of security awareness within the organisation.

Regulatory Compliance Assessment

An evaluation of the company’s current security posture to ensure that it is in compliance with relevant regulations and standards, such as data privacy laws and industry-specific regulations. Genisys Regulatory Compliance Assessment can include the following components:

Regulation Review: The first step in a regulatory compliance assessment is to review the relevant regulations and standards that apply to the organisation. This may include laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Assessment Planning: Based on the regulation review, a plan is developed for how the regulatory compliance assessment will be conducted. This may involve determining what areas of the organisation need to be evaluated, which stakeholders need to be involved, and what tools and methodologies will be used.
Compliance Review: The compliance review involves evaluating the organisation’s policies, procedures, and practices to determine whether they are in line with the applicable regulations and standards. This may involve interviewing employees, reviewing documents, and testing systems and applications.
Report Generation: A detailed report is generated that summarises the results of the regulatory compliance assessment, including a list of any areas of non-compliance and recommendations for remediation.
Remediation: Based on the results of the regulatory compliance assessment, the organisation can take steps to address any areas of non-compliance. This may involve updating policies and procedures, implementing additional controls, or modifying systems and applications.
Validation: After remediation has been completed, the regulatory compliance assessment process is repeated to ensure that the organisation is now in compliance with the relevant regulations and standards.

Threat Detection and Response Plan

Threat Detection and Response Plan (TDRP) is a comprehensive approach to identifying and responding to security threats in real-time. It involves a combination of technical and procedural controls that are designed to detect threats, assess their impact, and take the appropriate action to mitigate them. Genisys Threat Detection and Response Plan involves the following:

Threat Detection: The first step in a TDRP is to detect security threats. This may involve the use of tools such as intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and antivirus software, as well as manual analysis by security experts.
Threat Assessment: Once a threat has been detected, it is assessed to determine its severity and potential impact. This may involve analysing log files, network traffic, or other data sources to determine the nature of the threat and the systems and data that may be at risk.
Response Planning: Based on the threat assessment, a plan is developed for how to respond to the threat. This may involve deciding whether to isolate systems, shut down specific applications, or take other steps to prevent the threat from spreading.
Response Execution: The response plan is then executed to mitigate the threat. This may involve patching systems, updating security controls, or taking other steps to prevent the threat from causing damage.
Post-Response Review: After the threat has been mitigated, a review is conducted to assess the effectiveness of the response and identify areas for improvement. This may involve evaluating the accuracy of the threat assessment, the efficiency of the response, and the impact of the response on the organisation’s operations.

Physical Security Assessment

An evaluation of the company’s physical security measures and a plan for improving those measures to better protect the company’s assets. Genisys physical security assessment includes:

Site Inspection: The first step in a physical security assessment is to inspect the organisation’s premises and facilities to identify potential vulnerabilities and assess the physical security measures in place. This may involve evaluating the perimeter security, access control systems, lighting, and surveillance systems.
Review of Security Procedures: The security expert will also review the organisation’s security procedures and protocols to ensure they are consistent and effective. This may involve evaluating the organisation’s visitor management processes, access control policies, and emergency response plans.
Risk Assessment: Based on the site inspection and review of security procedures, a risk assessment is performed to identify potential physical security threats and assess their severity and impact.
Recommendations: The security expert will then provide recommendations for how to address the identified vulnerabilities and improve the organization’s physical security. This may involve implementing new security measures, upgrading existing systems, or revising security procedures.
Implementation: Based on the recommendations, the organization will implement the recommended changes to improve its physical security posture.

Security Operations Centre (SOC) Assessment

An evaluation of the company’s current security operations centre (SOC) capabilities and a plan for improving those capabilities to better detect and respond to security incidents.

Penetration Testing

A simulated cyber-attack on the company’s systems and networks to identify potential security vulnerabilities and test the company’s incident response capabilities.
