Top Challenges

Protecting your organisation demands a wide range of cyber security skills, which can be difficult and expensive to acquire. The traditional contractor model often leads to inefficiencies, as each new consultant spends valuable time understanding their predecessor’s work. Additionally, executives find it challenging to effectively oversee and align diverse security efforts with organisational goals.

Key Benefits

  • Expert-Led Cyber Security Assessments: Trust in experts and thorough assessments, managed by a Lead Consultant, to establish effective security measures and prevent unforeseen issues.

How It Works

Our onboarding process starts with a comprehensive maturity assessment to evaluate your current security posture, identifying strengths and pinpointing improvement areas. This assessment establishes a baseline to tailor our services to your unique requirements. Sekuro manages a defined calendar of recurring services, ensuring you receive consistent support to maintain and enhance your security posture.

Regular progress reports and meetings keep you informed, addressing any concerns and reviewing milestones. Our annual reviews reassess your security strategy and maturity level, ensuring that your program continuously evolves and improves in alignment with your changing needs.

FAQs

Sekuro's Cyber Resilience Program is a subscription-based service designed to provide businesses without in-house cyber security expertise or adequate resources with ongoing, comprehensive cyber security management. It combines the expertise of seasoned professionals, continuous support, and customisable services to help businesses navigate the evolving digital landscape.

The Cyber Resilience Program is specifically designed for businesses that lack in-house cyber security expertise and resources to manage their cyber security needs effectively. The program is suitable for businesses of all sizes, types or industries, looking to enhance its cyber security posture without the need for additional internal staffing.

Unlike traditional cyber security services, our program offers a partnership approach, providing continuous support, technical and executive reporting, and a suite of customisable services. This approach ensures not just protection but also the resilience and agility businesses need to thrive amid digital threats.

Our partnership approach means we work closely with your business as a strategic ally, tailoring our cyber security strategies to meet your unique needs. This collaboration ensures that your business is not only protected but also empowered with the knowledge and tools for confident cyber security management.

The program includes regular technical and executive reporting, providing your business with detailed insights into your current cyber security posture and the progress. This ongoing support ensures you have a clear understanding of your security program, posture, and any potential threats.

Absolutely. Our services are fully customisable to address the specific cyber security challenges and requirements of your business. We aim to provide a tailored solution that fits your unique operational context. Sekuro's Cyber Resilience Program offers several services across different disciplines, including Offensive Security, Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC), Technology Optimisation, and Implementation, among others. This breadth of services ensures that we can address a wide range of cyber security needs, from identifying vulnerabilities and enhancing security frameworks to optimising technology and implementing cutting-edge cyber security solutions. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive, integrated approach to cyber security that not only protects your business but also supports its growth and evolution in the digital landscape.

Besides providing top-tier cyber security protection, the program offers training and consulting services. These services are designed to equip your team with the necessary knowledge and tools to manage cyber security effectively, thereby enhancing your internal capabilities for long-term resilience.

By joining the program, businesses can expect to build a strong foundation for cyber security resilience, enabling them to navigate and adapt to the digital world's evolving threats confidently. The partnership ensures that your cyber security needs are managed expertly, allowing you to focus on your core business operations.

Hiring a virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) provides businesses with strategic cyber security guidance and leadership on an outsourced basis, which is beneficial for organisations lacking in-house cyber security expertise. However, Sekuro's Cyber Resilience Program (CRP) encompasses a more holistic approach, offering not only strategic guidance similar to what a vCISO would provide but also ongoing management of your cyber security program. These include technical and executive reporting, and a suite of customisable services across all cyber security disciplines including hands-on regular testing and baselining. CRP ensures continuous, operational cyber security management and resilience, making it a broader solution for businesses aiming for long-term cyber security health and agility in facing digital threats. This hands-on, team-based approach ensures that businesses receive not just advice but also the active management and implementation of cyber security measures.

Staff rotation within Sekuro does not negatively impact the Cyber Resilience Program. Our program is designed to be resilient and consistent, independently of individual staff changes. By employing a robust team of cyber security professionals and a well-documented process for managing cyber security programs, we ensure that knowledge transfer and service continuity are maintained at all times. This approach guarantees that our clients' cyber security management remains uninterrupted and consistently high in quality, even in the face of staff rotation, ensuring that your cyber security posture is always supported by expert hands.

The cost of Sekuro's Cyber Resilience Program is tailored to meet the budget and specific needs of your business, ensuring that no matter the size of your organisation or the complexity of your cyber security challenges, CRP can adapt. We work closely with you to understand your requirements and financial constraints, offering a flexible service model that can scale up or down based on your needs. This means the frequency of reporting, the cadence of services, and the extent of hands-on support can be adjusted to provide optimal value within your budget. Our goal is to make cyber security management accessible and effective for all businesses, ensuring that you can benefit from our comprehensive support and expertise, regardless of your financial capacity or the scale of your cyber security challenges.

Sekuro's Cyber Resilience Program distinguishes itself from individual services in Offensive Security, Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC), and other areas by providing a holistic, integrated approach to cyber security management. Unlike individual services that focus on specific cyber security aspects, our program covers the entire cyber security spectrum, offering a comprehensive suite of services designed to address a wide range of needs.

Furthermore, the Cyber Resilience Program is tailored to fit your organisation's specific needs and budget, offering a customisable and scalable solution that individual services cannot always provide. This adaptability, combined with our emphasis on added value and partnership, means that we work closely with your organisation to enhance your cyber security posture in a cost-effective, value-driven way that stands out from standalone services. Our program is designed to be more than just a service provider; it's a partnership committed to ensuring long-term cyber security resilience and success.
