Cyber Security Assessments

Our Gap Analysis helps you benchmark your current Cyber Security posture and identify your organisation’s critical IT risks. It allows you to focus your attention and budget on the highest priority risks while improving overall Cyber Security maturity levels. Our process generally involves the three following steps:

1- Start with Strategy

The logical first step is to define your Cyber Security strategy and desired outcomes. Whether this is achieving a standard such as ISO 27001, meeting Regulatory and Audit Requirements, or simply improving your overall Cyber Security posture.

This strategy discussion sets the stage for the Frameworks and Controls to help guide you through your Cyber Security journey.

Start with Strategy

2- Perform the Gap Analysis

We assess your organisation’s current and target Cyber Security profiles.
The difference between these profiles provides the GAP Analysis and defines risks over 5 key functional areas: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover.

Spector IT typically leverages the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to provide structure for our work – that’s where these areas come from. We’ll perform an Assessment Scoring, so you’ll know exactly how your business is performing in each of them.

3- Identify the Key Risks

Once we have a clear picture of the gaps, we can then assess the associated risks. First, we identify the inherent risk and the organisational risk appetite. The knowledge obtained thus far will inform us of the critical vulnerabilities found in your current structure.

This process then indicates which risks should be dealt with first and allows us to create an Action Plan based on your priorities. The goal is to protect your business from these imminent risks before addressing more complex matters.

JT
Jim Toal CEO at Fairco Windows and Doors – Manufacturing

Starting a new venture is never easy. We needed flexibility in how we access our systems and data across multiple locations. Spector IT provided us with cloud-based desktops and support setting up Sage applications. Their knowledge of what a professional services company needed was excellent. They went above and beyond, dealing with our software suppliers.

PT
Patrick Thorpe Director at Searing Point – Financial Services

Our IT used to be a source of irritation. Since we have engaged Spector IT they have really taken over the complete management of all of the IT function. This ensuing stability has allowed us to upgrade our ERP systems and rationalise and modernise our IT. Our IT works better and overall we are paying less for a way better solution.

DC
Dolores Cantwell CFO at Rennicks – Manufacturing

Spector IT helped us transition from a full time onsite IT Manager to a fully outsourced model where they take care of all of our IT requirements. It has been a smooth transition with a very responsive helpdesk providing great issue traceability. Their team is great and provide us with a proper vision of how technology can be applied to our operations in the IFI.

Andrew Rittweger Managing Director at Searing Point – Financial Services

As part of their compliance service Spector IT assisted the RIAI in the implementation of enhanced technical controls and information security management. A suite of security policies was provided.

Spector IT continue to advise us on all aspects of IT management and security compliance.
