AI-based Cybersecurity Policy Review

According to the Cloud Security Alliance Report on third-party risk, 57% of respondents have experienced a breach or attack via third parties. 39% identified business partners, subcontractors or IT service providers as responsible for the incident. This is because organizations have lax cybersecurity policies which are individually interpreted from leading standards. Comparing policies and procedures – whether within corporations, in M&A situations, or to align with service providers – takes several months and requires a six- to seven-figure budget.

To solve this problem, ISG developed ISG Security Policy and Procedure Review Tool, an AI-based approach that semantically compares masses of text information, reducing reading time and improving the quality of comparisons. The tool can save up to 70% of manual work in a single project and up to 90% in repetitive comparisons.

Cybersecurity Strategy & Assessments

In an increasingly connected economy, the importance of cyber security and risk management rises. You need to validate, re-orient and re-align your cybersecurity strategy.  

Assess your capabilities and maturity with an ISG assessment built off of industry-leading frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, CIS Top 20, ISO) and market-leading benchmark data. We’ll help you baseline your maturity levels and develop transformational roadmaps to move up the maturity curve.

Sourcing Cybersecurity

Outsourcing cybersecurity tools and services on a stand-alone basis or as embedded services can be essential in times of scarce resources and increasing professional and advanced persistent threats. 

When sourcing operational services, your chosen partner’s compliance with your corporate information security controls, policies and standards impacts your cyber security’s resilience. Managing your transaction and transition means carefully segregating duties between your organization, your partner and its internal governance.

Transform your Cybersecurity with Digital Operations

Re-directed strategy, digitization approaches and sourcing of services and tools let you achieve the expected value leveraging holistically managed transformation measures. Digital tools and services improve efficiency and lower failure rates. End-to-end business processes and connected or digital products require extra-vigilant security protocols. 

ISG knows the market best practices. We’ll enable your successful digital transformation with a cyber security operations and management model.

Cybersecurity Solution Solves for Confidentiality, Integrity & Availability

Jun 22, 2021, 15:12 PM
ISG advises an oil and gas company on implementing automated identity and access management services throughout the entire organization.
Title : Cybersecurity Solution Solves for Confidentiality, Integrity & Availability
Alternate title :
This leading oil and gas company has a long history and a global footprint. It needed to undergo a post-merger integration of two companies. The goal of this integration was to consolidate both IT landscapes into one future target operating model. 
During this digital transformation, one of the company’s key focuses was the redefinition of the cybersecurity services. This focus resulted in a plan to implement the identity and access management (IAM) services.
The company had to find a suitable and trustworthy specialized service provider in the market. Of course, this provider would need to meet its requirements. In addition, the company’s corporate security demand required that the services needed to be jointly established and transformed.
ISG has been (and will continue) serving as the trusted advisor for the company’s digital transformation and outsourcing activities for more than two years. ISG acts as the contractual and commercial interface between the company and its selected outsourcing IT provider. 
ISG executed and drove the transformation to enable a comprehensive solution, which includes the operating model, technology requirements and business case. We also ensured security resilience by making infrastructure adjustment to the new process flow. 
The company underwent a successful IAM transformation, enabling human resources (HR) data to be positioned as the golden-source for identity data. 
  • The company benefited from increased security in three dimensions:
  1. Increased confidentially: For granting and revoking permissions, all authorized persons have access 24/7.
  2. Increased integrity: Authorization can be audited. Likewise, the integrity of identities is protected by processing only secured identity data.
  3. Increased availability: Automated processes provide timely access to applications.
  • It also received ISG’s help facilitating the integration of new applications.
  • The company reduced its time to delivery from several days to less than an hour.
