Cyber Advisory Services

Our Cyber Advisory Services are focused on designing a cyber-resiliency first approach for our clients in an ever-evolving cybersecurity, and helping clients comply with complex industry and geo-specific compliance and regulations.

How we can help Overcome the Obstacles of Cyber-Challenges

Microland’s Cyber Advisory Services cover a broad spectrum of services that include:

1. Compliance: Compliance assessments evaluate an environment against a reference model, which could be a governance or regulatory framework such as PCI, SOX, NIST 800-53 or ISO 27000

2. Cyber Maturity Assessment:  Assessment of the security posture of an enterprise, their people strategy, policies, process, and standards to provide a digital transformation roadmap

3. Active Assurance:  Demonstrate weaknesses in the environment through simulated attacks, assess the attack surface, and ensure protection from a wide variety of security threats

4. Risk Advisory:  Assessment of vulnerabilities, configuration, or policies across multiple areas (like Data, Cloud, Identity), identify the associated risks (both business and technical) and finally provide recommendations along with mitigation plans.

Microland’s SOC Maturity Assessment

Microland's SOC Maturity Assessment evaluates a customer's security posture, processes, and tools against cyber threats. It assesses readiness, based on in-house or outsourced Security Operations Center (SOC), using CMM and NIST frameworks. The goal is to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses, providing solutions for improvement. This helps senior management allocate budgets effectively.

These maturity levels are measured across 5 domains: Business, People, Process, Technology, and Services. The maturity levels as implemented in this tool are not staged with pre-requisites for each level. Instead, every element adds individually to the maturity score: a continuous maturity model.

Based on the mapping and the responses to the questionnaire the Assessment also provides a NIST Score highlighting the maturity of the SOC under each of the 5 functions and categories under each.

The Assessment will provide an extensive scorecard with Security Maturity Scoring under the CMM model and NIST CSF framework.

The SOC Assessment will be conducted based on the availability of stakeholders from the customer organization for interviews. Upon completion of the assessment, the findings will be shared with the SOC team and senior management of the customer. Additionally, a presentation will highlight the results and provide recommendations for the next steps to achieve the target maturity score.

The Assessment can be a periodic exercise conducted every year or twice a year to ascertain if the SOC is on the right trajectory to the target maturity.
