GOVERNANCE, RISK & COMPLIANCE
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) are often thought of separately, but in a highly functional organization are a tightly interwoven parts that are integrated together through integrated processes. At Cyvergence, we can help you to achieve your GRC that are right-sized for your organization – including point in time assessments to meet your specific needs.
Compliance
Compliance is a critical governance tool for many organizations. It demonstrates a specific level of maturity for an organization at a specific point in time. At Cyvergence, we cannot perform a formal audit, but we can help you choose a compliance framework that is right for your organization. We can also work with your teams to become compliant in conjunction with your auditors.
Risk Assessments
At Cyvergence, we know how important it is to understand what the key risks are for your organization. We also know how important it is to align your risk assessments to your organization. We can help you to build a one time assessment or we can help build the foundations of a risk management program that aligns to your business. If you have an already existing risk framework, we can work within the confines of that framework. While we have over 1500 different assessment points
Risk Registers
A step up from a risk assessment is a risk register. A risk register is much more than a simple risk assessment. It helps organizations to align the found risks to a larger organizational risk reporting framework and business risks. While the details may have technical jargon, the business risks are very real and appropriately aligned.
ARCHITECTURE
Architecture is extremely important to help foster effective communication between the various teams and to validate verbal statements. The written word, and diagrams are extremely effective way of aligning everyone – technical and business teams alike. Architecture can help to demonstrate the business value and provide requirements for various technical teams related to the implementation.

Enterprise Security Architecture
Enterprise architecture is important for working hand in hand with both IT and Security teams to ensure a design that is both secure and functional and in a manner that can be communicated very clearly with the business including design options.
INCIDENT RESPONSE
Every organization has incidents that need to be followed up on and remediated. But how do you know if you are on the right track or not? Do you take the alert levels that the security operations center provides or are you aligned properly within your business? At Cyvergence, we understand why this is important and can work with your various teams to create the right level of alignment.
Incident Response Plan Development
In today’s world, the sad fact is that it is a matter of when and not if an organization will be compromised. Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail”. This is very true for incident response. If you don’t plan ahead of time, you will waste precious time determining how to appropriately respond to incidents which can give potential hackers the leg up with going after organizations. At Cyvergence, we take care in ensuring that your incident response plan meets the needs of your organization.
Incident Response Testing
We can conduct a tabletop incident response exercise to help you determine your preparedness for an actual event. A tabletop incident is essentially a walkthrough within your organization to ensure that the appropriate processes are not only being followed, but help to educate and bring awareness to gaps in the overall planning processes.
Managed Security Services Providers (MSSP)
Cyvergence partners with an array of MSSPs, SOCs, and so on to help you to manage your incident response program. Based on your criteria, we can help you to find the best MSSP to suit your needs.

Crafting comprehensive and effective PPSG requires expertise, experience, and a meticulous approach. If you find it challenging to develop these critical elements for your organization, our seasoned professionals are here to help.
ASSESSMENTS
Peter Drucker famously said, “if you can’t measure it, you can’t manager it.” Assessing organizations is one of the most important things that you can do for your organization. Assessments provide you with a compass to see where you are at and where you want to go.
Cyvergence offers an array of assessments that help companies of all sizes. Being aware of the number and type of assessments. Our goal is to find the best assessment for your organization. Here are a few assessments we offer in-house, but we also work with many other organizations to get the right fit for you.

We can perform basic CMMI assessments or utilize the Cyvergence Maturity Model for the assessment. If you wish to map the maturity assessment to a specific framework for a more wholistic assessment, we are more than happy to help.
Cybersecurity Governance Assessments
Cybersecurity is not just a technical concern, it's a strategic imperative. Achieving strong cyber-resilience that requires strong governance processes at the highest level of management. Are you confident that your organization's cybersecurity practices align with its strategic objectives and compliance requirements? Do you have a clear understanding of your cyber risks and how to prioritize them effectively? Are you concerned you are not getting a clear picture of the cybersecurity maturity in your organization? At Cyvergence, we can assess your overall IT and Security Governance processes to ensure that effective oversight that aligns with your strategic objectives and regulatory requirements.
Cybersecurity Technology Assessments
Organizations are reliant on a plethora of cybersecurity technologies to protect their valuable assets from ever-evolving cyber threats. Are you certain that your current cybersecurity technology stack is is up to the challenge? What are the technologies that would help you to build a more resilient cybersecurity posture? At Cyvergence, we can help you identify the technology that is right for you and, in many cases, help you purchase and manage that technology.
Cybersecurity Program Assessments
Today’s organizations are heavily dependent on technology for their business operations. If that technology is not implemented properly, it can create security challenges for organizations that are unforeseen. Having a thorough assessment of your organization can help you to develop a path forward. We can cater the assessments from micro-enterprises through global multinational organizations. We can also tailor what elements you wish us to examine from assurance, business alignment, transparency, and so on – all to meet the needs of your organization.
Risk Assessments
In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, understanding and managing risks is paramount to ensuring the safety of your organization's sensitive data and critical assets. Compliance is not sufficient enough to mitigate today’s risk. Risk assessments provide a proactive approach, empowering you to identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential problems before they escalate into costly security breaches.
Cybersecurity Cultural Assessment
Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, once said that, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” By this he meant that even the best strategy will fail if that strategy is different than anything they have thought about before – especially if there is resistance to that change. Changing culture starts by understanding the central components of culture and why people behave the way they do. Culture is a combination of attitudes, behaviors, cognition, communication, norms, and so on. It is not something that can be changed quickly, but once assessed, it can inform leaders what the challenges are within organizations. It can be a good starting point to make and measure change over a period of time.

Cybersecurity Training for Business Executives
Cybersecurity is a complex topic that is filled with arcane jargon and complex terminology that is too much for the average person to understand. Nor should a CEO take the time to understand the intricacies. That said, understanding some high-level terminology so that he or she can gain a better understanding of what is happening within the organization can be invaluable for any executive.
Cybersecurity Training for Board of Directors
Cybersecurity is a complex topic that is filled with arcane jargon and complex terminology that is too much for the average person to understand. Nor should a board take the time to understand the intricacies. Lighter than the training for business executives, cybersecurity training for board of directors is invaluable because it helps them to understand, at a high level, what their responsibility is, and what are the key things they should be looking for from the executive responsible for cybersecurity.
