ISO 27001 Consulting

ISO/IEC 27001 standardization is defined as an Information Security Management System (ISMS) consisting of steps to identify, analyze, and address the risk levels of an organization's information assets. This standard ensures that an organization's security controls are continuously adjusted to keep pace with changes in sensitive security domains, including threats, vulnerabilities, and business impacts. Applicable to organizations of all sizes and across all industries, the ISO/IEC 27001 standard was last updated in its 2013 version.

Key Considerations for Organizations During the Compliance Process

- Context of the Organization: Identifying organizational context, determining the needs and expectations of interested parties, and defining the scope of the Information Security Management System (ISMS). The standard mandates the establishment, implementation, maintenance, and continual improvement of a compliant ISMS.
- Leadership: Top management must ensure the effective governance of the ISMS by maintaining strict oversight of key responsibilities, such as enforcing defined policies and assigning information security roles and authorities.
- Planning: Identifying required actions, conducting analyses, and planning processes for the effective management of information security risks, while explicitly clarifying ISMS objectives.
- Support: Allocating adequate resources, increasing security awareness, and executing documentation and verification processes.
- Operation: Executing critical operations in greater detail, including risk assessment and treatment, change management, and documentation.
- Performance Evaluation: Monitoring, measuring, analyzing, and evaluating information security controls, processes, and management through audit and analysis steps to drive systematic improvements where necessary.
- Improvement: Analyzing findings and results from audits and management reviews to ensure a continuous cycle of correction and enhancement for the ISMS.

Technical Security Assessments

Database Analysis with FortiDB

Deployed directly on the organization's network, FortiDB scans all internal databases to analyze and report on database vulnerabilities, authorization flaws, and configuration misconfigurations.

Network Traffic Analysis via OneArm IDS

Operating in sniffer mode within the network, this appliance captures all passing network traffic. Following a data collection phase lasting approximately one week, the gathered traffic is analyzed to audit the network for infected hosts, command-and-control activity, and compromised servers.

Forensic Analysis with SIEM

A SIEM appliance deployed on the network aggregates logs from critical active network devices to perform log-based attack forecasting. Left on-site for approximately one week, the appliance establishes necessary correlation rules and triggers targeted alerts based on these custom detection rules.
