Cyber Risk Services
Cybercrime has evolved. Is your organisation prepared?
As businesses and organisations continue their digital transformation journey's and processes become more automated, cyber security continues to grow as one of the most significant threats faced throughout all business sectors. The impact of a cyber-security breach can be existential and at best, disruptive. As many as 60% of small to medium enterprises (SMEs have up to 250 employees and £50m/annum revenue), go out of business within 6 months of suffering a cyber-attack. This is a frightening statistic but we should remember that the other 40% continue to trade, many of them thriving and enjoying success over many years. Although the number of larger organisations that fail after being the victim of a significant cyber-attack is much smaller, there are parallels.
The main difference between those hit the hardest and those that prove to be more resilient is their levels of preparedness. The better prepared an organisation is, the more successful it will be at withstanding the consequences of an attack.
Our cyber risk evaluation process uses a blended methodology, aligned with the ISO 31000 risk management standard and supplemented by a range of other international frameworks, to calculate "preparedness" and therefore risk exposure.
Our consulting team work with you to develop a bespoke "road map" to build better protection and improve cyber security awareness.
How we help
Whatever your sector or industry we can help you navigate the often complex cyber security environment, and create a comprehensive strategy to protect against your specific risks and develop a holistic security master plan designed to evolve over time.
What we do?
Our Approach
Cyber Security Preparedness Assessment
- This comprehensive evaluation will offer the insight and understanding necessary to make informed decisions and prioritise activity
Cyber Risk Assessment
- The Cyber risk assessment will evaluate a broad range of factors and provide quantitative data to enable stakeholders to understand vulnerabilities and potential business impact
Compliance Services
- CornerStone is able to assess compliance with a broad range of standards including the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework, ISO 27001, the PCI DSS Standard and the NIST Cyber Security Framework to name just a few. We also incorporate GDPR and other data privacy laws. Our focus is on developing better security outcomes, emphasising context as well as compliance.
Penetration Testing
- Penetration testing provides real-world insight into the security of the systems being tested, and highlight vulnerabilities that may exist. With the knowledge gleaned, we can provide remediation plans to address weaknesses and reduce the risk of a successful cyber-attack. Our services include "Positive" and "Negative" tests and align with initiatives such as CREST and the Tiger scheme.
Application Security Assessment
- To ensure that new applications and business systems are coded securely and remain secure throughout their life-cycle, Application Security testing provides assurance and highlights vulnerabilities that might have occurred due to emerging threats
Data Security Assessment
- The security of its data is often a key element of an organisations Risk Register. Our Data Security Assessment utilises a comprehensive consultation process to understand key business assets and requirements and deliver valuable insight
Cyber Mitigation Planning
- By using the preparedness and risk assessment output we are able to design holistic mitigation programs, focussed on reducing risk exposure and increasing levels of protection
Data Privacy Assessment
- The loss of personal data can have significant consequences for any organisation. CornerStone's consulting team work to reduce the risk of substantial financial penalties, business interruption and reputational damage
