Industries
Our consultants have years of experience dealing with organizations in the following industries, as well as others not listed here.
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
SaaS' represent the largest segment of organizations that achieve information security certification, as there are relatively few barriers to entry into this market and the acceptance of organizations hosting information in supplier controlled cloud environments has greatly increased over the last 15 years. Security questionnaires can be onerous to complete for prospects and clients, which drive SaaS' to adopt frameworks to prove to their clients that they are following industry best practices as it relates to information security, quality and privacy. SaaS' have to navigate the delicate balance between meeting client expectations for uptime and bug remediation, while maintaining sufficient change control practices.
Law Firms
Anyone that is involved in the legal sector understands that law firms just operate differently than other businesses. This is true in the certification world as well. Whether it be the variance from a traditional management structure, the volume and complexity of Outside Counsel Guidelines or the urgency of the demands from within the firm, we understand the unique challenge that you face. We have the experience to help you implement or streamline your program to meet your current needs, and be prepared for your constantly evolving customer demands.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing represents a rapidly growing market segment for information security as security has quickly transitioned from being a feature to a necessity. Whether it be to protect the intellectual property of your own organization or that of your customers, or to secure how your product interacts with others, it is rare to see an organization that does not face security related challenges. Manufacturing operations often add a layer of complexity by having to integrate the use of legacy equipment that is past end of service life, with modern ERP platforms. We have experience working with manufacturers to build management systems that allows you to become compliant, while managing the risk of some of these unique challenges manufacturers face.
Staffing
Certification in the staffing industry has steadily increased over the last decade as staffing organizations have evolved from supporting individual placements to more complex and customized offerings. They face increased pressure to standardize their processes and safeguard the information related to the individuals they are seeking to place. Local legislation can also vary significantly from one region to another around topics such as privacy and employment rights. Our consultants have experience working with staffing organizations to build management systems that are unique to your specific needs and allow for you to maintain compliance at the same time as maintaining operational efficiency.
Technology
In today's complex world, products are required to be more and more connected as well as integrated with 3rd party components. Whether your organization manufacturers your product in-house or outsources manufacturing, and whether you handle software development in-house or outsource, our consultants have experience in working in these areas.
