Cybersecurity Advisor Service
A cybersecurity advisor works directly with you on your cybersecurity initiatives and goals. They take years of experience, knowledge from multiple diverse engagements, and wisdom from working with very large companies, and offers that value to you through being an advisor. The results are exponential insight on industry trends, strategies, roadmaps, and direction. An advisor serves you.
Strategic
An advisor focuses on strategic initiatives. Although Asher Security offers a wide range of consulting offerings, the advisor service focuses on building a solid, supportable, and attainable risk reduction roadmap for your unique business. What does that mean?
Solid
Built on industry best practice. An advisor knows all the security frameworks such as NIST, MITRE, COBIT, and others. They have seen how unique businesses in various industries have leveraged and adopted these frameworks into their own security framework. The results are less confusion, fewer questions, and more confidence from the organizations that work with your security department. The programs stand the test of time, are organized well, can grow and adapt to threat changes and risk priorities.
Supportable
An advisor helps ensure that the strategic cybersecurity initiatives are supportable. That means that by leveraging experience from working with other Minnesota companies they can help advisor on technologies and solutions that make the most sense for your size business, and the unique risk profile of your company.
For example, one technology vendor might be leading the Gartner research, but is that result based on companies of greater size? How expensive is the talent to support that technology? What is the demand for that labor resource? How long will it be before the business is looking to hire a new candidate because the last one was offered a bigger package at a larger company? A cybersecurity advisor can help put the right questions on the table and formulate a process driven approach to these questions that often plague security leadership.
Attainable
The vision of your cybersecurity program should be attainable. An advisor, again using their experience, can highlight areas of the roadmap that are going to take more time and resources. An advisor identifies challenges and pitfalls we can be blind to without the right experience. They can help articulate how to define success. A cybersecurity advisor can help ask the right questions of what the most right things to do for your specific cybersecurity program are to get the greatest risk reduction results. Once those achievement lines are defined, they can help create a plan to get to the goal line.
We’ve all been there, we had a vision and goal but we just seem to be stuck. Days come and go and the deadline keeps getting pushed out. The resources aren’t there, or someone doesn’t have the tools or knowledge they need. Or it just ends up the vendor overpromised something that couldn’t be executed on successfully.
That’s what it means when we say our Minnesota cybersecurity advisor service helps you build a security program that is solid, supportable, and attainable.
