The Challenge
Risk is at the core of cybersecurity. Without understanding your cybersecurity risks, you may inadvertently leave your business and staff vulnerable. Your risk environment is not static, and your mitigation can’t be either. Effective risk management requires an active response to changes as well as continuous risk monitoring and management.

C&A is a fundamental governance and assurance process, designed to provide the Board, Chief Executive and senior executives confidence that information and its associated technology are well-managed, that risks are properly identified and mitigated and that governance responsibilities can demonstrably be met. It is essential for credible and effective information assurance governance.
It is a requirement for New Zealand government agencies.
We will support your C&A activities right through to preparation of the Certificate and Authority to Operate, using your own C&A process.
We will also support your development of a C&A process if you don’t yet have one, and help you identify efficiencies in your existing process if you’d like it reviewed.
“We engaged SSS on a large Security Consulting assignment in the middle of 2015. We needed to review our security posture over a large project that the Ministry was engaging on so that we could re-assess and better understand our risk profile and re-focus our risk mitigation programmes of work. We were very pleased with the calibre of the SSS security consultants – they are clearly experts in their field. They have been excellent to work with, and we are particularly pleased with the completeness, clarity and general pragmatic usability of the reports they have created with and for us. SSS have made it much easier for us to focus our efforts where it really counts and to generally make significant improvements in our overall security posture.”
