Information & Cybersecurity Service Offerings

As innovation accelerates and connectivity increases, enterprises are more exposed to sophisticated cyberattacks. It's essential to integrate cybersecurity throughout the technology framework and business lifecycle. Information and cybersecurity refer to the practices, technologies, and processes designed to protect data, networks, programs, devices, and systems from digital attacks, damage, or unauthorized access. These disciplines are crucial for safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information technology systems and data. At Big Blue Infotech, we have experienced security professionals to offer Information and Cybersecurity solutions that address the key challenges faced by enterprises today. Our security services aim to improve the agility, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of the next generation needs of information security and compliance programs.

GRC: Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance

GRC stands for Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance. It's a structured approach that aligns IT with business objectives, while effectively managing risk and meeting compliance requirements.
Governance: Governance refers to the overall management approach through which senior executives direct and control the entire organization, using a combination of management information and hierarchical management control structures. Governance ensures that organizational activities, like managing IT operations, are aligned in a way that supports the organization’s business goals.
Risk Management: Risk management involves identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks followed by coordinated efforts to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of unfortunate events. Effective risk management ensures that an organization understands and controls the risks to which it is exposed, maintains acceptable levels of risk, and complies with applicable laws and regulations.
Compliance: Compliance refers to adhering to the laws, regulations, guidelines, and specifications relevant to the business processes. Organizations need to ensure that they are aware of and take steps to comply with relevant laws, policies, and regulations. Non-compliance can result in legal punishment, including federal fines.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of the GRC services we provide. We can tailor our services to meet the specific needs of our Clients.

DATA PRIVACY & PROTECTION

Data Privacy : Data privacy concerns the rights of individuals to control how their personal information is collected, used, and shared.
  • Consent: Ensuring individuals are informed and consent to the processing of their data.
  • Minimization: Collecting only the data necessary for a specified purpose.
  • Purpose Limitation: Using data only for the purpose specified at the time of collection.
  • Data Subject Rights: Enabling individuals to access, correct, delete, or transfer their data.
Data Protection : Data protection refers to the technical and organizational measures used to secure data against unauthorized access, loss, or damage.
  • Encryption: Using cryptographic techniques to protect data in transit and at rest.
  • Access Control: Restricting data access to authorized users only and using strong authentication methods.
  • Data Masking: Rendering data unintelligible to unauthorized people and systems to protect sensitive information.
  • Backup and Recovery: Ensuring data can be recovered after corruption or loss due to hardware failure, cyberattacks, or other incidents.

CYBER SECURITY

Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. These cyberattacks are usually aimed at assessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users; or interrupting normal business processes.
  • Threat Protection: Defending against software designed to gain unauthorized access or to cause damage. Blocking ransomware attacks that lock or encrypt data until a ransom is paid. Educating users and employing technology to prevent fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive data.
  • Network Security: Using firewalls to create a barrier between your trusted internal network and untrusted external networks. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)/Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) that monitors network traffic to detect and respond to suspicious activity.
  • Information Security: Encrypting data at rest and in transit to protect its confidentiality and integrity. Ensuring only authorized users and processes have access to technology resources.
  • Application Security: Developing applications with security in mind to prevent vulnerabilities. Keeping software up to date to protect against exploits targeting older versions.
  • Endpoint Security: Deploying software to detect and eliminate malicious programs. Ensuring all devices are secure and comply with data security policies.
  • Identity Management: Requiring more than one piece of evidence to authenticate a user. Allowing users to log in once and access multiple systems without re-authenticating.

Regulatory Frameworks

  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): EU legislation that sets a high standard for data privacy, emphasizing transparency, security, and accountability by data processors and controllers. GDPR has significant implications for cybersecurity by mandating that personal data is protected using appropriate technical and organizational measures.
  • HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act): U.S. law that protects personal health information and sets the standard for patient data privacy.
  • CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act): Gives California residents new rights regarding their personal information, influencing broader data privacy standards in the U.S.
  • PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act): Canada’s data protection law governing the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data in the course of commercial activity across all provinces.
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework: Provides a policy framework of computer security guidance for how private sector organizations in the US can assess and improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber attacks.
  • ISO/IEC 27001: An international standard that provides the specification for an information security management system (ISMS), which includes aspects of IT security, cybersecurity, and risk management.
