Data Connect, a leading cyber security services provider underpinned by elite cyber practitioners and technology, today announced the launch of vSOC Assure.
The platform has been developed in response to the growing need for robust, ongoing security assessments and it goes beyond traditional cyber security audits, offering a structured, year-round approach to risk identification, remediation and reduction.
“Cyber risk poses the greatest threat to the solvency of organisations today, but understanding how incidents could impact a business and break through their defensive barriers, or where security postures are falling short, is a huge challenge. IT teams are often stretched, while c-suite executives don’t fully understand how technical misconfigurations, or a lack of certain controls, could impact their business. vSOC Assure has been developed to address these challenges, making it easier to identify, track and manage risks. The platform streamlines cyber risk assessments across an organisation’s entire digital environment, while delivering action points for c-suite and technical teams to improve resilience,” said Simon Kean, Commercial Director at Data Connect.
The service carries out an in-depth assessment on an organisation’s security posture, benchmarked against globally-recognised frameworks. The risks are then communicated back to the organisation alongside a clear and structured roadmap for remediation, which ensures organisations have an action plan set to address issues effectively.
The service is also designed to bridge communication gaps between IT leaders and c-suite executives. This ensures that employees at every level are delivered information relevant to their understanding of risk, while empowering them to play a key role in improving organisational cyber maturity.
“We offer support to organisations after the assessment, helping them prioritise risks and make recommendations on the best steps for mitigation. No security posture is ever perfect, security is a journey, not a destination, but with our support, organisations can navigate that journey safely while making continuous progress towards resilience,” continued Kean.
