To help organizations address the growing challenges of cybercrime and data breaches, Litcom has developed an innovative Information Security Health Check assessment. Contrary to common assessments that focus only on specific technologies or processes, Litcom’s Information Security Health Check includes the holistic evaluation of all critical elements of the client’s information security practices. This evaluation includes:
Strategic Alignment
Are you missing the opportunity to leverage emerging technologies such as cloud computing, bring your own device, or social media due to the lack of confidence in your security function?
Security Management and Governance
Is an information security organization and governance framework defined to enable execution of the organization’s information security strategy?
Security Operations
Are the required processes in place?
Privacy and Compliance
Is compliance achieved in a cost effective matter?
Technical Architecture
Are the organization’s systems secure and are their security tools effectively utilized?
