Engineered Information Security

Taking Your Organisation Beyond Assessments and Testing

Implementing security into your everyday ICT environments, remediating and acting on recommendations from assessments or testing, and helping organisations focus on ensuring better objective and outcome focused security.

Security Centric's team of engineers takes their clients beyond traditional information and cyber security assessments and testing by offering professional services to help remediate flaws, securely configure, harden, and address identified risks in ICT environments. Our business risk approach focuses first on how you can use your existing technology, people, and processes more effectively to uplift your organisation's security posture, rather than simply recommending additional technology.

An engineered approach to information security helps businesses ensure that the remediation and implementation of recommendations solves the actual problems that contribute to the root cause of security problems. This differentiation from many providers who look first to adding more technology rather than understanding what an organisation is trying to achieve with their security results in a better reduction in business risk, and the implementation of security that actually helps to enable businesses to be efficient whilst also being secure.

 

Key Business Benefits

Traditional information and cyber security consulting services cover areas of compliance, risk, and testing. The outcome of these services is a list of recommendations that an organisation needs to address in order to become more secure, more compliant, and to reduce business risk.

Most cyber security consulting firms end their services at that point, offering no option to help their clients further address these recommendations. Given the growing complexity of working environments and rapidly changing technologies, finding a security specialist to do this work is an important part of making sure your organisation can increase resilience.   

Whether you're looking at setting up new systems, integrating a new technology, or reconfiguring your existing technology more appropriately to achieve your cybersecurity objectives, our engineers can provide professional services to help.

Professional Services:

Whether your security requirements are an outcome of testing or assessment performed by experts at Security Centric, internally, or via another 3rd party, our engineers are able to take your organisation through the next stage of your security journey.  

Some of the services our engineers typically work with clients on include:

The Security Centric team work with you to ensure that best practices are implemented to increase security across the entire network stack.
