Strategic

Symosis Strategic Assessment Services

Strategic services tackle the core systemic issues which result in 95% of security and are the first step towards a more secure organization. SymoSiS works with you in understanding and defining your needs and the best approach to measure your security posture based on your control objectives. The results provide an understanding of where to better focus your security initiatives to reduce overall risk.

Risk Assessment

Our service is modeled around the COBIT framework, approaching risk assessments using a holistic approach. This approach allows Symosis to deliver concise and understandable results. Once your organization's risks are identified a comprehensive recommendation is provided to help you better understand ways to approach remediation or mitigation of those risks. Symosis can help organizations implement those plans through our Architecture Services.

IT Security Architecture

Architecture Services help an organization design and deploy their security initiatives. In today's ever changing environment the impact of emerging threats and trends must be understood to ensure money spent today provides benefits tomorrow. Symosis works with organizations as a vendor neutral and independent advisor in understanding what technology works best for their needs. The result provides a higher ROI for your organization's security spending. Symosis Architecture Services include:

IT Security Infrastructure

A strong IT infrastructure must address security needs for the enterprise. C-Level Security, together with key personnel in your organization, develops a security roadmap for security solutions, bringing real world expertise to the process. The team works together to determine the best solutions to fit your business needs for today and the future. As your security needs are identified they are ranked by the amount in which they will increase your security posture. This approach allows your organization to better budget and forecast security spending while maximizing benefits and reducing deployment time.

Policy Architecture

It is often said that security exposures are a result of not enforcing policy. Unfortunately policies often times do not address the needs of the enterprise due to the every changing dynamics of today's business operations. Symosis can work with your organization to review your existing policies and provide a concise summary of where policies are non-existent or not effective.

Software Security Development Lifecycle Program Development

Application Assessment is a process that is performed when the application is already developed. Symosis can work with your organization early on to integrate security into your Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Services include consulting during the conceptual and development stages. During this time secure coding frameworks are established as well as introducing threat modeling to understand attack vectors that will need to be addressed by countermeasures. The results are applications designed to provide services while integrating proper security controls, resulting in overall lower costs for your organization.

Baseline Development

You don't build a house without blueprints that take into account building codes. In the same manner you should not deploy systems that have not meet security standards. Symosis can develop minimum baseline standards for your organization to increase your overall security posture by reducing the potential for risks during the host build process.

Security Awareness Program Development

For security awareness to be effective it must be an integral part of an organization's culture. Symosis can help develop a non-intrusive security awareness program that is adopted over time. Beginning with a social engineering assessment the overall risks and exposures are identified and the program is tailored to best mitigate those risks unique to your organization.
