Security Advisory Service

Act Proactively Using IT Security Experts

In the computerised world of today a constant battle rages between security experts and cyber criminals. The battlefield is companies whose business depend on digitally stored information and secure computing environments. Companies seeking to win this battle are constantly monitoring the world around them, surveying new threats to their IT security. This enables them to take countermeasures to limit their exposure to risk.

Most companies have neither the time nor the resources it takes to analyse the world around them, and develop strategies to proactively manage IT-security. These companies will be suffering, since they no longer have the initiative, and the villains will always be one step ahead.

External advisors enhance your IT security

Many companies bring in external advisors, with the competence and experience to predict trends and ”see into the future”. These advisors deliver knowledge and help develop strategies which enable the company to work proactively with IT security. Enhancing security in this way makes the company a smaller target for cyber criminals.

Here are some examples of how Sentor's security advisors may be of assistance:

• Conduct trend surveillance to identify upcoming threats to the organization.
• Participate in projects or steering committees to confirm or question the progress and direction of the company's IT security efforts, as well as the solutions and technologies chosen.
• Evaluate and guide the proactive security tasks for developers, specialists and management.
• Design, or propose long term plans and security strategies.
• Produce an IT security policy based on ISO-standard 17799.
• Contribute with technical expertise on various topics.
• Contribute with knowledge regarding security on process and management levels.
• Audit projects, suppliers or other third parties.
• Implement and revise IT security strategies.

Sentor's three-layer model

Sentor has developed a three-layer model which enhances a company's IT security. You can engage us to assist you when revising how you work with IT-security matters, or for specific advice in one of these areas.

• Analysis and knowledge: An analysis of your IT security situation takes its starting point in two places – your company and the world around it. From a security standpoint for example, your company may be a big target, while the general threat level is low. We will deliver the knowledge required for developing an IT security strategy.
• Strategy: A major cause of why many IT-related attacks are so costly is that the companies are lacking strategic, as well as tactical plans for how to manage and control IT security. We help you develop a long term security strategy, detailing proactive measures as well as appropriate reactive responses for different types of incidents. We can also assist you in drawing up an IT security handbook based on the ISO 17799 framework.
• Implementation and review: In order for an IT security strategy to serve its purpose, it must be correctly implemented and periodically reviewed. We will help you to implement your strategies and review them on regular intervals, responding to changes inside and outside of the company.

As advisors we act fast in emergency situations when intrusions must be stopped, or other types of incidents must be handled.

Trust is everything

It is easier to follow the advice of someone you trust, and it is certainly easier to trust someone you know. In order to get to know us better, contact us on +46 8 545 333 00 or info@sentormss.com for a meeting where we can discuss your situation and your needs.
