Governance risks and IT compliance

IT security governance and risk management services

Governance oversees the organizational structure of enterprises and requires a clear definition of roles and responsibilities as well as a well-defined notion of accountability.

During an incident or a crisis, key information must be shared quickly to eliminate isolated decision-making and to unify the views of different stakeholders.

Incidents and crisis response cannot be improvised. Anticipation, preparation and scenario planning, with the support of experts, are the foundation for a company’s successful continuity of operations.

BCI experts rely on their expertise and share best practices to help your business develop and establish clear policies and processes for effective and rapid response to incidents. With the Crisis and incident response programfrom BCI, these policies are operationalized within your environment and are subject to ongoing support to ensure that your company is prepared for any situation.

Security policy and control review

The IT security policy is an action plan designed to maintain a certain level of security. It reflects the strategic vision of the company’s management or board of direction, concerning IT security.

Developing a detailed security policy is essential: it is the main reference document for an organization’s information systems security, defining the objectives and the resources allocated to achieve this security level. It is therefore an essential communication tool between the various information security players of an organization.

The Security Policy and Control review services from BCI can help you develop and implement a security policy. Our experts can also conduct a review of your existing security policy and issue control measures to help you improve your processes on the following key areas: policy and procedures for privacy protection, governance, compliance and potential areas of risk, all without compromising your operational performance.

Our team of experts has written hundreds of concise and effective security policies and control review for leading Canadian companies.

As a result, you will get a clear report indicating your propensity to common risks, specifying security and compliance gaps specific to your activity sector. You will also receive recommendations and mitigation strategies to meet your security requirements.
