Infoguard’s experts have experience developing security policies, standards, and processes for all size companies and industries. Our management control developments include the standards of PCI HIPAA, ISO 27001, SOC, NIST, and FedRAMP.

Security risk assessment and management is another core element of Infoguard security services. Our experts will check organizations security posture and:
- Determine all the security gaps in relation to organizations’ security threats, vulnerabilities, and established controls
- Conduct security risk assessment
- Prioritize remediation activities
- Provide implementation initiatives and roadmap
At every step of the assessment process, Infoguard customizes the assessment to the organizations’ security needs. We follow the risk assessment methodologies based on security best practices. We also observe industry and government regulatory and compliance requirements (such as ISO 27001, NIST-800, PCI, HIPAA, and FedRAMP)
Security Awareness Training
Employees are the weakest link in cybersecurity. No organization is secure without training their employees in security awareness. Focus and investment should go into this area as a priority.
Infoguard Cyber Security offers employee security awareness training. Along with that, we train stakeholders about security governance services.
Infoguard uses thought-provoking and innovative methods to engage the trainees. That is an efficient way to create awareness among staff. By using case examples, Infoguard security experts add relevance. That enhances the knowledge and skills of the trainees regarding cybersecurity.
After the security awareness training, your company will experience fewer cybersecurity risks.
The areas covered under the training include the
- Fundamentals of Internet, computer, and information security
- Safe surfing, data handling, data security
- Mobile computing protection
- And the basics of security risk assessment and management
3rd Party and Vendor Security Assurance
The most overlooked threat vector by organizations
Third-party vendors are a growing source of cybersecurity breaches. And the size of these violations is growing. These breaches happen because organizations are lax in vendor security.
- Organizations overlook the threat vector imposed by their vendors. They are inattentive to the application of proper security controls.
- Organizations misunderstand the full scope of their system boundaries. They don’t know required protections for service providers.
Organizations must ensure vendors and service providers are handling sensitive data securely. Vendors and providers need to follow the organization’s security standards and policies.
Infoguard is a trained and Certified Third Party Risk Professional (CTPRP). That is by Shared Assessment Organization. We will develop and put in place comprehensive Vendor Risk Management Program. That will be a significant part of the organization’s security governance. And it will mitigate security risks caused by vendors.
The program includes the following oversight components:
- Program governance
- The setting of policies, standards, and procedures
- Contract security review
- Vendor risk identification and analysis
- Creation of company security tools. Along with metrics to measure and analyze ongoing company vendor management
- Continuous and ongoing monitoring and review of company vendor management efficiencies
Virtual CISO
Organizations face challenges in establishing and maintaining comprehensive security practices. That is due to:
- A shortage of qualified and experienced Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). In addition to education, these CISO’s must have substantial hands-on experience in all aspects of security (Information, Network, IT, Application, and Cloud Security; Security Governance, Risk, and Compliances)
- The cost of finding, hiring, and retaining a qualified CISO is prohibitive.
