In this digital world, safeguarding digital assets matter a lot – particularly, it is very important for small and medium companies who can’t afford a dedicated internal security team. It is something similar to having a “security guard” – for most of us it is not viable to have a security guard. Even for the people who can have security guards, in the most of the cases, it may not be financially viable to have 24X7 security guard. Most of the robberies happen considering this weakness of majority of us.
We have been in the industry for the last fifteen years – as a “IT guarding company”. We were fortunate enough to deal with critical security “enforced” opportunities in these 15 years –
- dealing with micro and small loans of individuals;
- developing HIPPA compliant – health information exchange among the doctors and patients;
- working in stringent defence environment across India including the fortified missle test center at Balasore.
We can help you the best possible way.
First fundamental principle of security – “Cost of safeguarding should not be greater than the asset that is getting safeguarded.” So – what is the value of the assets? Jewelry, or something tangible can be easily valued. But what about digital assets – what is the cost of your reputation, brand development, data, confidentiality, and more. How meaningfully each can be assessed and can be started?
We reply on “KISS principle” – Keep it short and simple to avoid any confusion. Start short and simple – the major vulnerability is data theft – Your data sits in emails, files that you use, and files you share among your employees. First – start with those. Reply on a $250 billion dollar – the best possible solution Microsoft that is already offering the M-365 options.
After that, if you want to fortify further – focus on your websites, CRM applications, or any other channels – that are directly exposed to your customers or prospective customers, Is there any clickjacking happening? is any malicious code running without your knowledge? is there of your plugins depreciated by the OEMs?
There is further room to strengthen – based on “your asset value” and “your road map” and “your budget”. In general, the larger companies or the enterprises – handle this “security” as a professional plumber safeguarding every join / junction. –
