Security Management

Though enterprise-wide security is a good starting point, organizations realize very quickly that true security can only be achieved at the information systems level. US Federal law defines an information system as a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information. [ISO 15288] defines a system as a set of interacting elements that are organized to achieve one or more stated purposes. Just as the information resources that comprise an information system include information and other resources (e.g., personnel, equipment, funds, and information technology), system elements include technology or machine elements, human elements, and physical or environmental elements. Each of the system elements within the system fulfills specified requirements and may be implemented via hardware, software, or firmware; physical structures or devices; or people, processes, policies, and procedures.

SPS can help you augment your information security by standardizing it around an industry standard such as ISO 27001 or NIST Cyber Security Framework. In regular sessions, we meet with your Cyber Security stakeholders to assess the state of policy and practice maturity of your information systems components - users, endpoint, networks, servers, applications, and data. We leverage our Cognitive Security Manager (CSM) to help you Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover capabilities of People, Processes & Technologies of your application, conduct risk assessment of your mission-critical information system, create System Security Plan (SSP), and your Plan of Actions and Milestones (POA&M) on a quarterly basis.
