5-Part Approach
We employ industry-leading tools and processes to direct and support our client’s cybersecurity strategies and plans. We start by following the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines, a 5-step approach to cybersecurity:
NIST developed this 5-step framework, in conjunction with several of the most sophisticated security organizations in the world. They created this framework in 2013, and the frameworks have been tested, reviewed, and revised since that time. The stated purposes of the NIST cybersecurity framework are to:
- Support the adherence to compliance requirements
- Reduce the risk of attacks
- Minimize the damage done when attacked
- Maximize recovery and uptime
1. Identify
“Develop the organizational understanding to manage cybersecurity risk to systems, assets, data, and capabilities.” - NIST
- Identify and Control who has access to key business information
- Conduct background checks
- Require individual user accounts for each employee
- Create policies and procedures for information security
2. Protect
“Develop and implement the appropriate safeguards to ensure delivery of critical infrastructure services.” -NIST
- Limit employee access to data and information
- Install surge protectors and uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
- Patch your operating systems and applications
- Install and activate software and hardware firewalls on all your business networks
- Secure your wireless access point and networks

5. Recover
“Develop and implement the appropriate activities to maintain plans for resilience and to restore any capabilities or services that were impaired due to a cybersecurity event.” -NIST
- Make full backups of important business data/info
- Make incremental backups of important business data/info
- Consider cyber insurance
- Make improvements to processes/procedures/tech
