Our Process
- What We Do
Provide visibility into data, data types, and data sources by identifying variables that may skew outcomes, utilizing inferential statistical methods for predictive analytics, and assisting organizations in evolving from risk qualification to quantification. This includes but is not limited to the following:
- Discovery of compliant and non-compliant data
- Leverage security control data to protect critical lines of revenue
- ML such as Linear Regression for predicting business trends, risks, and profitability
- Dashboards for informing key risk, performance, and behavior indicators
- How We Do It
Our end-to-end process is applied by using the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Basic Controls and our MICRO™ Methodology, which consists of modeling, ingesting, correlating, reviewing, and outputting the data into visualizations. Specifically, we target applications and products that account for 80% of the business revenue, define use cases and criteria, specify the targeted data sources, model the data, and verify data risks.
- Why It Matters
Data Integrity Governance DIG™ reveals valuable business insights for enabling Data Lifecycle Management (Inventory, Governance, Monetization, Security). This streamlines communication amongst different teams (Business, IT) while enhancing speed, accuracy, and scalability since there is no longer reliance upon manually correlating Spreadsheets, CSVs, and Reports that have been generated by disparate technology tools, products, and applications. As a result, this provides a pathway forward for:
- Maintaining a compliant, scalable, and resilient data architecture
- Creating dashboards with filters that produce real-time results
- Predicting revenue +/- by converging security control and business data
- Reducing data risks relative to critical assets, applications, and products
DIG™
It is important to know the starting point in your data journey, where you want to go, and how data gets distilled into becoming relatable, meaningful, and useful for your expected outcomes.
- Asset Risk Management as a Service – Provides an automated, continuous lifecycle for analyzing assets, data, and security control coverage relative to critical applications that impact revenue streams along with measuring financial, legal, and operational risks. Ideal for businesses interested in establishing or fine tuning their asset inventory, maintaining compliance, and reducing the attack surface, costs, risks, and technical debt.
- Traceability as a Service – Provides an automated, continuous lifecycle for materials mgmt., assets, and the circular economy with full data visibility into Tracing, Tracking, and Green Programs. Ideal for businesses interested in carbon reduction, supply chain management, cost optimization, reusing, recycling, and upcycling.
- Data Mapping as a Service – Provides an automated, continuous lifecycle by mapping data to CIS, NIST, ISO, and DGI Controls. Ideal for businesses interested in making better informed business decisions, which is attained by identifying compliant and non-compliant data, establishing data governance, data cleansing and quality, converging data security and monetization.
OUR PROCESS
- What We Do
We converge disparate technologies, resources, and repositories through code in order to automate security guardrails, orchestrate workloads, and enhance service features for applications and products. This includes but is not limited to the following:
- X as Code (e.g. Compliance, Infrastructure, Identity) for Dev + CICD
- Automate Vulnerability and Application Code Scanning
- Code Pipeline Enablement and Migrations
- Vendor Interoperability for Access and Secrets Management
- How We Do It
Through Agile and Continuous Deployment for DevOps and by adhering to OWASP Best Practices for Access, Vulnerability, and API Management, we diagnose problems, prescribe and implement solutions, remediate issues, fine-tune and enable operations with code.
- Why It Matters
By automating thresholds, alerts, and monitoring on policy violations, this quickly and accurately:
- Creates interoperability with a security by design eco-system
- Protects critical workloads, assets, and applications
- Improves Mean Time To Restoration (MTTR)
- Enhances workflow and productivity
Tech Trends Research
Innovation in technology, culture, and behavior propel organizations to keep pace with industry trends. However, the process of researching, balancing out cost, and determining relevancy and obsolescence, can be time consuming and overwhelming.
- Strategy as a Service – Assessing and identifying which disruptors are happening in your vertical, and to know which horizon, or how far into the future, you want to move forward with your technological, cultural, or behavioral adjustments. Ideal for businesses who are interested in 2-4hr. topic specific workshops, market, and technological direction.
- Trend Reports as a Service – Visual correlation and explanation of signals and drivers that are relevant for your chosen horizon (future). Ideal for businesses who are interested in vertical specific reports, either standalone or packaged with DIG™ or DataOps.
