Security Improvement and Remediation Service
Competing pressures affecting your ability to keep on top of your risks
Every year organisations spend time and money on identifying vulnerabilities to their cyber security, but each new report doesn’t in itself move the needle forward in terms of addressing those risks.
IT teams are having their budgets pulled. They don’t have the time or resource to deal with the mounting list of vulnerabilities to be able to remediate the risks. Knowing which to prioritise is difficult and is often based on subjective decisions. In the meantime, organisational compliance is being compromised.
We recognise that these as very real challenges facing many organisations. Whatever the challenge or challenges that are impacting your road to improved cyber resilience, Sapphire’s Security Improvement and Remediation service is the solution to address them.
Delivering a strategic approach to your cyber resilience
Whatever the starting point – an incident, a penetration test, a vulnerability management report – Sapphire leverages agile approaches working with your teams to understand, plan and implement your security improvement activities and integrate technology, people and process solutions to ensure your security investment achieves maximum return.
Understand
We will undertake a technical reconnaissance to understand your estate and augment your existing issues list. We can further enhance this with our own understanding of your vulnerabilities (e.g., through pre-existing assessments) or if you have findings from other suppliers or technologies.
Prioritise
Knowing where to start is difficult. We help by providing a clear plan of action for all issues and vulnerabilities, turning them into manageable work streams. Sapphire helps you to address the highest risk, and quickest wins to help you tackle your improvement backlog. This planning is crucial, as it helps to identify dependencies within your business, assign owners and timeframes as well as progress reporting mechanisms to ensure wider stakeholder support Prioritise
Act
You want to move that needle forward. We help you to implement rapid and effective security enhancements so that your security posture improves. Working in conjunction with your teams, in an agile approach, we tackle your security backlog to implement improvements across people, process and technology. We aim to tackle quick wins whilst also enacting medium- and longer-term improvements to enhance your posture.
Develop
We believe that you cannot achieve sustainable security improvement through one-time activities. That’s why we believe in collaborating and partnering with your teams to ensure mutual knowledge transfer. Additionally, we help you to achieve long-term improvement through augmentation and enhancements to your technology systems through our partners so that your security spend is effective and returns the most benefit to your business.
Validate
You want to know that our joint improvement activities have achieved the desired outcome. Therefore, we provide validation activities such as technical assessments, breach attack simulations, table-top scenario definitions and more to validate that the improvements are effective and inform your next phase of security enhancements.
Achieving the right outcome
Sapphire’s Security Improvement and Remediation programme will deliver a clear direction of travel for your security improvements, the experts to guide or even supplement your team, depending on your circumstances, and ensures that you maximise on your cyber security investments.
