“Information security is vital to the day-to-day operations of the Council and SecureWorks plays an integral part as our trusted security partner”

Mike Harkins, IT Manager, South Lanarkshire Council

Consultancy

The professional services division of SecureWorks brings together a unique mixture of complementary skill sets in order to provide an unparalleled level of service across all industry sectors and infrastructure designs.
 
As the interaction and dependencies between regulatory, and statutory guidelines, and industry best practice become blurred and topics such as certification, compliance and audit are discussed as if they were interchangeable, you need to ensure that the advice you are provided with is reliable, accurate and consistent. 

SecureWorks consultants have been utilised in projects where providing the correct approach has been instrumental to the ongoing success of the business.

The key to delivering useful, transparent and enforceable security systems lies in the adoption of a process that includes the following elements:

Information Security Governance

Information Security Governance is the means by which many organisations are measuring and managing their organisation against a defined set of security rules. Building upon the resurgent Capability Maturity Model, and using elements of COBIT, ISO17799 and the Manual of Protective Security, SecureWorks has assisted many organisations to quickly and easily manage their information security expenditure.

Regulatory and Statutory Compliance

Phrases such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Data Protection, Computer Misuse, Basel, ISO, are not intended to confuse as they all ultimately point in the same direction. Confusion reigns however in determining how best to observe the various demands for compliance made upon your organisation.

There is no avoidance of the regulations. The SecureWorks professional services team have successfully implemented a number of compliance programs, utilising the appropriate methodology deemed relevant for the market sector. Members of the team have worked with some of the compliance requirements since their inception.

Risk Assessment

Often referred to as ‘Risk Review’, and being a service which is used either as stand-alone, or integral to governance or compliance projects, our method permits clear justification for the implementation of risk treatment programmes. Combining the collective techniques from ISO, COBIT, the IIA and Infosec makes the approach utilised by SecureWorks effective and reliable.
