At the heart of any successful Information Security strategy, is a set of
guidelines, patterns & practices and standards that ensure the organisation is
developing and adopting a industry risk based approach to security. Without
these standards, the organisation is reliant on good will and the knowledge of
team members to hope security has been implemented within their systems.
Most organisations don't need to start from scratch. There is a lot of
"open-source" and published content that can quickly help organisations to
implement an initial level of security in their systems. Appsecure can help you
to navigate these standards and adopt relevant approaches within the
organisation
As a part of any approach to a successful Information Security plan, a roadmap
or business plan aligned to relevant industry drivers is recommended. Once this
strategy is in place, Appsecure can develop and help to implement these
guidelines within the organisation. Some of the more common guidelines and
standards we develop include:
- Secure Coding Guidelines (Technology specific or platform specific if required)
- Secure Testing Guidelines (What to look for, and what risk ratings to be
provided)
- Incident Response handling
- Data handling procedures including data risk rating management
- Compliance & Privacy Handling for Information Systems
- Educational Training Strategy and Requirements
- Secure Deployment Guidelines (for operating systems)
- Access Control design and implementation Guidelines
Appsecure has over 30 years combined experience in developing and implementing
successful guidelines within organisations. We understand that not only is it
important to develop an implementable strategy, but to ensure that the cultural
difficulties of implementing a strategy are also addressed.
