Penetration Testing (Pen Testing) & Vulnerability Scanning:

By simulating a cyberattack by ethical hackers to identify vulnerabilities in systems and networks, Pen-testing goes beyond simply finding weaknesses; it attempts to exploit them to understand the potential impact of a real attack. Think of it as a proactive stress test for your defenses. Vulnerability Scanning automates the process of identifying known weaknesses in systems and applications. Scanners compare systems against databases of vulnerabilities, flagging potential security holes. While less in-depth than pen testing, vulnerability scans provide a broader and faster overview of your security posture. Security standards like PCI & HITRUST often require regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing at specific intervals to ensure a comprehensive security assessment. For instance, PCI DSS mandates vulnerability scans quarterly and requires annual penetration testing.

Incident Monitoring & Security Operations:

Security standards like PCI, HITRUST & SOC require the continuous monitoring of all alerts generated by tools that monitor systems and networks for suspicious activity. This can involve tools like SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems that collect and analyze logs from various sources. Reify can provide a 24x7 security monitoring team for a fraction of the cost of a dedicated team.

Data Encryption Design & Encryption Policy:

Defines the methods and technologies used to encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit. This can involve encrypting data stored on databases, laptops, and mobile devices, as well as encrypting data transmissions over networks. Formalizes the organization's approach to data encryption. It outlines which types of data require encryption, defines the encryption key management procedures, and specifies who has access to encryption keys. Security standards mandate data encryption for sensitive information. For example, PCI DSS requires strong encryption for cardholder data at rest and in transit.

Data Classification & Data Retention Policy:

Classifies data based on its sensitivity. This helps organizations prioritize security controls and determine the appropriate level of protection for different types of data. For instance, highly sensitive data like financial records or personal health information would require stricter controls than less sensitive data. Defines how long different types of data can be retained. This helps organizations comply with regulations and avoid storing data unnecessarily. Data retention policies also specify how to securely dispose of data that is no longer required.
