Network Ecosystem™:

Information Assurance Lifecycle Services

Assessment

This is the cornerstone of the Network Ecosystem™ Information Assurance lifecycle. So many times companies skip the assessment - or even the planning - phase and go straight to implementing a solution. Taking the time to properly assess your situation, will save your organization time or money in the future.

Internal Solutions

Security Auditing - Is your information truly secure? Are you looking to learn what steps to take in order to become compliant with SAS-70, Sarbanes-Oxley, or HIPAA? Our security audits are specifically tailored for your business, and are performed by friendly auditors with years of experience.

Disaster Recovery Auditing - Does your disaster recovery plan include provisions for natural disasters, major security breaches, or even total data loss? Maybe you're looking to expand your current recovery plan to an avoidance plan. We work with your organization to determine the type of plan needed, and the steps you will need to take in order to put that plan into place.

Monitoring - Having a plan is worth very little if you have no way to inform yourself about what is happening in your company. Network Ecosystem™ infrastructure, backup system, application, and security monitoring solutions are focused on reducing false-positives while showing you the overall health of your infrastructure.

External (Vendor) Solutions

Security Auditing - Don't just give a vendor remote access to your infrastructure, or allow them to host your critical data, until you know if your vendor meets your minimum security criteria. Before you trust a vendor with your business' future, contact us to have a Network Ecosystem™ vendor security audit done.

Disaster Recovery Auditing - Your organization might have an elaborate disaster recovery plan, where all data is backed up, and secure. However, do you know if your hosted services provider has the same priorities as you do? The bottom line is, until you've had us perform a vendor disaster recovery audit, there's no way to know if your vendor is truly keeping your best interests at heart.

Planning

You now know which solutions your organization needs, through Assessment of the situation. Do you have the resources and experience to put together a comprehensive plan to include those solutions? Network Ecosystem™ provides you with the planning and management resources you need to implement your Information Assurance solution.

Security & DR Planning Components

• AnalysisWarning
• Incident Management
• Response/Recovery

Policies & Procedures - We work with you to plan and create your operational policies from an Information Assurance focus, ensuring compliance, security, and efficiency. Escalation procedures and operational checklists ensure ease of auditability and non-repudiation.

Vendor Assessments - We ensure that your vendor has a migration or implementation plan that fits your company's vision, policies, and compliance needs.

Strategic Partner Identification

Training - Don't implement detailed Information Assurance policies and procedures unless you have a viable plan for training and informing your organization.

Document Control - Network Ecosystem™ makes sure that you have an Information Assurance plan that includes which documents need to be controlled, and how best to manage that process for your business.

Change Management / Tracking - We create a plan to track and control the changes made to your policies, procedures, and infrastructure. Change management and tracking will help you meet your compliance requirements, while ensuring the safety of your data.

Your IT environment is essentially a living, breathing part of your business. Additionally, certain technologies tend to have a short life span, as they are continually growing and evolving.
