Strategic Advisory

strategic Cybersecurity advisory services
Maximize your ability to meet the demands of the current threat landscape. The threat landscape continues to change and grow as attackers discover new avenues of attack. At the same time, new regulations are added, and old ones are updated. This creates significant external challenges that you need to stay ahead of on a regular basis. Effective security management is not just running your current environment, but understanding the extent and impact of these external challenges, and determining the potential impact on your organization.
Our experienced advisors provide actionable, strategic guidance on program and policy development, incident response planning, security management, and compliance initiatives. We can also provide direct guidance to, and support of, your Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), or serve as an interim or third-party CISO. The ultimate goals of our advisory service are to guide you to meet your security needs, making the best use of available resources – prioritize your security initiatives, ensure they support your business needs, and streamline your ability to get things done.

Modernize Your Security Strategy Approach
Most security strategies define a relatively static approach to security management. Many also include a defined security strategy that, while they may be well-defined approaches to security, are not necessarily a good fit for the business goals of the organization. These approaches can easily lead to security programs that become unwieldy – inefficient and difficult to maintain.
Evolve Security understands you have a business to run. Our Strategic Advisory service is focused on helping to define the right level of security to enable you to operate your business securely, maximizing the efficiency of the program and the effectiveness of related resources.
