ADVISORY TO EXECUTIVES & BOARDS
Improve Enterprise Cybersecurity Performance and Reduce High Risk
Cybersecurity Strategy Analysis, Operations and Business Plan Development
MorganFranklin’s cybersecurity Advisor Services provide access to security professionals that offers senior managers a thorough understanding of an organization’s security profile, and the impact it could have on its brand. An effective cybersecurity program includes many key components that need consistent updates and maintenance, and our cybersecurity advisors will help determine the priorities, through complex analysis and ranking highest risks, in which those areas should be addressed. This information can then be presented to stakeholders and key decision makers for further action and budgeting.
With many years of experience in collaborating with and influencing leadership to adopt a cybersecurity mindset, our advisors will guide the organization on how to build and/or maintain best security practices in its business strategy and operations.
GRC
It is becoming increasingly more difficult to keep up with security regulations and compliances that may apply to an organization, and that’s just another reason why our advisors are here. They have access to dedicated resources that keep their ear to the ground on any emerging breaches, advisories, and legislative updates, and can notify the right parties of any pertinent information that could impact business.
Intel & Incident Response
Every company needs to understand their attack surface and be prepared in the event of an attack, because it’s not so much a matter of if, but when. Our advisors can develop and implement proper incident response plans and playbooks to save any organization the stress and worry that comes with even the most minor of breaches. Having an incident response plan, as well as personnel properly trained on how to implement the plan during an attack, gives peace of mind throughout an entire organization.
