Cybersecurity Standards and Frameworks

Bringing your business to the highest global standards, at your own pace.

Organisational resilience, efficiency, security and peace of mind are only some of the benefits brought by the best standards and frameworks.

Compliance is no longer optional for any organisation. Rather than view Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) as an unwanted distraction, use it to leverage competitive advantage.

Maintaining compliance standards requires an in-depth understanding of security policies, frameworks, and systems to manage the compliance process.

Our compliance team is experienced in managing and progress-reporting on delivering different security and compliance frameworks, such as GDPR, Cyber Essentials, Central Bank of Ireland Regulations, NIST, and ISO27001. We guide our clients through varying levels of compliance maturity, depending on their individual requirements.

Understand your Risk

Understand your Risk

  • We start with a GAP Analysis and understand your drivers for achieving a higher level of risk maturity. It will produce a simple-to-navigate board-level report of key risks, with recommendations and next steps.
  • We guide you through the adequate security framework to help you achieve your goals and certification paths. The objective will be broken down into practical steps, and these will be performed under our guidance.

Manage your Risk

We provide a compliance platform that provides a structured risk-based approach to compliance management.

This allows for complete collaboration, activity-based management and evidence gathering as we progress through the compliance lifecycle.

Best of all, this is structured and automated, saving more time than you can imagine.

IN THEIR WORDS

Our clients say

Spector IT has provided our company with top-class IT support for 8 years. We have a team of 30 people, of whom 10 are on the road. The service from Spector IT both on-site and remotely is excellent. Utilising the online backup and restoration service ensures that if we have a major server problem we would be up and running in a very short time period.

Spector IT understood our needs from the very start. They formulated a detailed plan and executed it seamlessly. We now have an up to date, integrated, reliable and secure system that far exceeded our expectations

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.

Since Searing Point Limited has been incorporated we have contracted Spector IT to handle all our IT and back up. We have found Spector IT to be extremely professional and competent in what they deliver. The staff are very helpful, accessible and their support is greatly appreciated.

AR
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. The management and communication skills of the compliance team are excellent and I would recommend their service. Spector IT continue to advise us on all aspects of IT management and security compliance.
