Security is a business challenge, NOT a brand or a product
Information Security is a complex business challenge, and Sirius has created the Security Framework to help simplify and portray how the different aspects of an overall security program architecture fit together. |
You can’t talk about business unless you talk about Governance, Risk and Compliance
• Security must be cultural and sponsored at the highest levels
• Understanding risk is crucial to designing cost-effective protection solutions
• Ensuring the ability to achieve, maintain and report compliance should be strategic |
|
Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability are the basic tenets of information security
"CIA" means keeping it private as necessary, tracking who and when it’s changed, and ensuring accessibility when needed
It starts with business goals and regulatory requirements
Goals and legal/industry regulations drives the security objectives and risk management
Policies, operations and architecture
Begins the implementation layer of the Security Program
Technical controls implement the security protections and are divided into five domains:
• Data
• Applications
• Entitlement (Identities and Access)
• IT Infrastructure (endpoints, servers, network and storage)
• Physical Security (cameras, sensors, locks)

Whether you need help with an enterprise security strategy, are looking to better understand gaps in your organization’s security posture, need to ensure that your intellectual property and/or customer’s data is protected, or you have challenges with meeting and reporting on compliance requirements Sirius can help with:
Security Programs, Governance and Architecture
Building and overseeing an information security program that affects the entire organization, with Cloud Computing and the Consumerization of IT brought on by the proliferation of mobile devices complicating an already complex environment, requires a robust and well-planned approach.
Whether your organization is small or large, already has a security program, with well-defined architecture, policies and processes in place or is looking to develop one, Sirius can help you with policies and processes, awareness and training programs, and architecture designs and strategic roadmaps to help you build the security-in-depth program that you need to support the services that your users demand.
Comprehensive Security/Risk Assessments/Roadmaps
We can determine where you stand from an overall information security posture to a more specific compliance requirement with industry standards and frameworks and includes actionable, customized roadmaps for achieving your information security and compliance objectives. Assessing your risks begins with understanding the threats facing your organization, thoroughly evaluating your vulnerabilities and testing the effectiveness of your controls and countermeasures. Sirius can measure your gaps relative to industry and governmental baseline standards, such as ISO 27002/1, NIST, FIPS, COBIT and ITIL, and develop a prioritized roadmap to achieve your business objectives and risk appetite.
Compliance Readiness/Remediation Services
Whether it's HIPAA/HITECH, PCI DSS, NERC CIP or FISMA, we are your advocate throughout the compliance process and focus on assisting with the preparation necessary to be ready to meet compliance requirements. Whether it’s the completion of a PCI DSS Self-Asssessment Questionnaire, a Risk Assessment for HITECH/Meaningful Use Compliance, or a complete gap assessment for government regulated entities, we have the expertise and audit backgrounds to help ensure your readiness for up-coming audits or to help you remediate findings from prior audits.
Governance, Risk and Compliance Solutions
Frameworks, tools and strategies are essential to the success of today’s enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) programs. Sirius’ consultants can help you streamline policy management, reduce the number of controls needed to comply with regulatory requirements and automate and improve control monitoring and reporting using the leading GRC frameworks and solutions. Reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies with solutions for Policy/Vendor/Threat/Vulnerability/Incident and Risk Management as well as complete Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery planning and solutions.
Application Security Offerings
The Web browser has become the front door to threats with nearly 70% of all vulnerabilities based in web applications. Our Application Security offerings are designed to help you ensure that security is built into your applications using best practices by integrating security into the software development life cycle and detecting vulnerabilities in existing or third-party applications, whether delivered locally or in the cloud.
