Assess business impact
Examine threats, gaps and dependencies. Record likely consequences and a recommended order of work, including the risks that need management approval.
Governance, risk & compliance
Security decisions belong in the business plan.
We help management assess cyber risk, set policy and assign responsibility for security work. Recommendations explain what needs approval, what should be funded and which risks remain.
Discuss your governance needs
Cybersecurity advisory
Who makes the security decisions?
Someone needs to approve priorities, accept remaining risks and check that agreed work is completed.
We review systems, working practices and business dependencies. Findings identify the consequences of a risk, the proposed response and the decision management needs to make.
Compliance requirements vary with your sector, province, contracts and the information you handle. We help identify the relevant requirements, review the evidence and plan improvements. Where a question needs a legal interpretation or independent assurance, we work with the appropriate adviser.
What the work covers
Risk assessments, policy and management oversight.
The engagement can address a specific concern or review the security program as a whole.
Set responsibilities and policy
Define security roles, decision points and policies for access, information handling, suppliers and incident response. Make the rules usable by the people expected to follow them.
Review requirements and evidence
Identify applicable obligations and customer requirements. Compare them with current practices and organize evidence for internal reviews, questionnaires and audit preparation.
Keep the work under review
Agree on actions, owners and review dates. Give management a clear account of progress, outstanding risks and decisions that remain open.
How an engagement starts
Begin with the questions your leadership needs answered.
First, establish what management needs to decide or demonstrate.
Understand the context
Discuss the organization, its information, sector, contracts and existing security work. Confirm which requirements and systems are in scope.
Assess and recommend
We review evidence, speak with the people responsible and present findings with recommended actions.
Support the follow-through
We help develop policy, coordinate improvements and prepare records for management or audit review. ZenCOMPLY can support ongoing policy and compliance work.
