Governance
As part of VerSprite's risk advisory service offerings, learn how we can effectively help you manage security and compliance risk while still supporting the needs and objectives of the business unit or entire enterprise. Every governance group needs to measure internal compliance to a well communicated security policy and set of technical standards. Internal compliance testing provides management with the insight needed to see what areas of the organization are operating in accordance with the defined set of policies and standards.
Security Architecture
VerSprite knows that security design is equally important to secure coding or secure configuration. Security architecture encompasses both network and application design and addresses essential controls such as authentication and authorization. Validating application architectures requires a team that is experienced understanding both technology and security related concepts. Leveraging a threat model approach, VerSprite is able to dissect any application architecture in order to provide the necessary guidance on where and how key countermeasures should be applied across APIs within a defined application environment.
Policy & Training
Developing, revising, and communicating an effective security policy can truly make or break all sequential governance activities. An enterprise's awareness of security policies, guidelines, and/ or standards is essential. VerSprite has the proven experience and leadership to help you overcome this major hurdle based upon your organization's business objectives for ensuring security. Security is a process. As part of that process, every member within an organization, large or small, needs to be aware of the importance aspects of both physical and logical security controls. VerSprite has the experience to help you in this area, with unique training and awareness programs that fit both your companies time and culture, and that leverage strategic security policies.
Technical Standards
Security misconfigurations account for a substantial part of exploitable software and systems. Defining technical standards provide a necessary primer for platform level security and application security. Most companies should decide on a number of strategic platforms and applications (web, mail, network, etc) that will be leveraged across a large enterprise. Attempting to secure a wide array of disparate platforms and technologies can be challenging for any organization. That is why most companies streamline technologies and software across a large enterprise. This facilitates security by allowing IT to focus on hardening a more manageable set of technologies versus a limitless list of technology. Building upon these efforts, technology standards look to harden platform and applications by reducing things like superfluous services and accounts and by locking down applications in order to disable unnecessary functionality within them. Let VerSprite build technology standards that are marketable and well received by system custodians, IT administrators, and other key members from your IT organization and beyond.
