Zero Trust is a way of keeping your data and infrastructure safe by assuming that nobody is automatically trustworthy. This means you don’t just give anyone access to your company data, even if they’re already inside your network (Office, VPN). Instead, you check who they are and what they’re doing all the time, to make sure they’re authorized to access the resources. Flip for some key zero trust principles.

Zero Trust principles

• Give access to your digital resources only to people and services that really needs it

• Divide networks and applications into smaller, more manageable segments

• Verify every user, device, and application each time access is granted

• Implement real-time monitoring and analytics to detect and respond to security incidents

• Protect your files with encryption and data loss prevention policies

We are using proven combination of baselines, benchmarks and best practices to secure your environment based on your needs and available licenses. Wherever possible, we use first party products and products already included in your purchased licenses to save you unnecessary costs. Our favorite benchmarks and baselines consist of Microsoft best practices, CIS (Center for Internet Security) benchmarks, UK and Australian government security blueprints and others.

Baselines and benchmarks

• Ensure your IT systems are configured and managed in a secure manner

• Benchmarks are often aligned with regulatory requirements and industry standards

• Provide a consistent and repeatable process for configuring and managing IT systems

• Streamline your security efforts and reduce the complexity to maintain a secure environment

• Build solid security baseline for future enhancements

Information protection and data loss prevention are important ways of keeping your sensitive company data safe. These methods involve setting up barriers and rules to make sure that only authorized people can access your information, and that it is not accidentally or intentionally leaked. This could include things like data encryption, data loss prevention policies and proactive data usage monitoring. By using these methods, you can help prevent identity theft, fraud, or other types of unauthorized access to your data and in the same time stay compliant with regulatory requirements and industry standards.

Information protection and data loss prevention

• Secure your data to comply with regulatory requirements and industry standards

• Identify sensitive information types and the potential risks or threats to them

• Limit access to data based on the information type

• Encrypt your most sensitive data and revoke access regardless where the data is stored

• Proactively monitor data usage, sharing and excessive downloads

• Educate your employees about the importance of information protection and data loss prevention

Organizations of all sizes should invest in cybersecurity because cyberattacks can have significant financial, reputational, and legal consequences. Investing in cybersecurity can help you mitigate these risks and protect your assets, reputation, and customers. By implementing security best practices and technologies, you can reduce the likelihood of a successful cyberattack and respond effectively to any incidents that do occur.
