Cyber Security Audit

Posted on Aug 5, 2016 by

Protecting key information assets is of critical importance to the sustainability and competitiveness of businesses today.

Cyber Security is all too often thought of as an IT issue, rather than the strategic risk management issue it actually is. The same level of rigour in assessing this should be applied as it is to legal, regulatory, financial and operational risk.

At RED5 we are encouraging businesses and their partners to become Cyber Security Aware and helping them to embed an information risk management regime across their organisations to have the capacity to protect against and react to new Cyber Threats.

A number of components to help combat Cyber Security Threats will already be in place with your organisation but without focus these may remain untested and unconnected to other department’s policies and activities.

Our Approach

The RED5 Cyber Security Audit is undertaken over a number of day’s onsite in conjunction with your Compliance, IT, HR and other appropriate personnel and is designed to review the implementation level and robustness of key areas such as Policies and Controls, Staff Awareness and Technology Safeguards implemented.

Benefits

As a result of undertaking the CSA you will receive a position statement detailing your readiness to protect your organisation from Cyber Security Threats together with recommendations for improving the current position and a gap analysis with appropriate solutions to mitigate these.

Our Cyber Security team will review the results both at board and operational level, answering questions/concerns about the audit findings or potential actions recommended.

So what is Cyber Security

Cyber Security is the body of technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorised access. In a computing context, the term security implies cybersecurity.

What are information assets?

An information asset is a body of knowledge that is organized and managed as a single entity. Like any other corporate asset, an organisation’s information assets have financial value. That value of the asset increases in direct relationship to the number of people who are able to make use of the information.
