Cybersecurity: An essential part of every business operation
Introduction
Cybersecurity is of paramount importance as businesses become increasingly reliant on digital systems and technologies for their daily operations. This makes everyone vulnerable to cyberattacks aimed at stealing data, sending fraudulent invoices, or taking an organization hostage by disrupting business operations. A successful cyberattack can lead to the loss of confidential information, revenue, and reputational damage for an organization.
Cybercrime prevention as a business imperative
Cybercrime prevention has therefore become an indispensable part of business operations. Organizations can no longer exist without investing in cybersecurity. It is important to tailor this investment to the risks that the organization itself faces. In this way, a certain level of security can be achieved with a cost-effective investment. This allows you, as an organization, to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and to continue your activities uninterrupted.
Compliance with regulations and standards
The same approach applies to organizations that want to organize cybersecurity to comply with the GDPR, the new NIS2 directive, or want to obtain certifications in the short term. These kinds of projects are already a time investment. By covering the right cyber risks with a thoughtful implementation, it means that many of the necessary measures can be implemented with solutions, processes, and training that are still needed to protect an organization against cybercriminals.
PLTFRM Cybersecurity Assessment
As an independent cybersecurity expert, PLTFRM helps objectively, strategically, and independently to map out the risks at a strategic level and reports in a way that is easy for everyone to understand. This ensures that the IT department, business, developers, and management speak the same language about cybersecurity. The report uses a visual to explain the attack surface and identifies all risks. For these risks, the necessary measures are then made clear in a 9-box model. One axis shows preventive, monitoring, and reactive solutions, and the other axis divides solutions into people, processes, and technology solutions. To ensure that the organization's change capacity is not exceeded, PLTFRM helps to prioritize the solutions. In consultation, a 7-step plan is created, so that the most efficient measures can be implemented first. The organization itself chooses which steps to take, whether to outsource to existing partners, or where PLTFRM can provide solutions.
