Overview

IT Security measures are needed for organizations to protect themselves from IT security incidents. For organizations that have little experience in developing IT security systems, professional consultations are crucial. Even through similar systems may have been incorporated to the organizations, there are chances that the systems may not be as secured as expected, thus proper assessments should be performed. When security incidents arise, professional incident handling and investigation services are also important for organizations to regain control over their IT security systems. As different services are needed in different occasions, we have formulated our services into 4 interrelated stages - Plan, Review, Implement and Monitor. All stages are equally important to the security systems and are worth to be tackled one by one.

However, more important than adoption of advance technology solution alone, planning your computer security services will be vital to the success of your organization.

Review
A review service is similar to the health check process of IT systems. It can be performed before any IT system implementation on the designed infrastructure; or periodically after the IT system implementation. Before any implementation, review services such as security risk assessment should be conducted on the existing IT environment to identify current risk factors and vulnerabilities so that risks could be eliminated before any actual implementation. After thorough planning and implementation of the secure IT infrastructure, the implemented environment should be periodically reviewed through IT Security Risk Assessment, Vulnerability Assessment, Application Code Review and Systems, Network & Web Penetration Tests. Our pre- and post-system implementation review services ensures that your system can remain constantly secure to the highest possible standards. Besides pre- and post-system implementation review services, we also provide IT Compliance Review consultancy, in which our experienced consultants guide the clients' IT team in achieving the compliance requirements as stated by auditors and act as the bridge between the auditors and the clients' IT team.

Implement
After security infrastructure planning and/or security assessment, your team or vendors will receive a list of recommendations from the assessors or auditors. Without proper implementation, any excellent security planning will not be effective. Such list of implementations are often written for the eys of IT security specialists, and not for the ordinary IT support staff. This makes implementation of such recommendations particularly difficult. This is where our consultants can come in as a bridge between you and your assessor/auditors to smoothen the rectification process so that your team will have enough guidance for implementing the rectifications and recommended changes directly. On the other hand, we can also help implement the security infrastructure according to the client' s pre-defined security policies as well as helping to refine the existing IT security policies and procedures.

Monitor
Even for the most sophisticated IT systems, there are also chances that the systems may still be compromised by worms, malwares or other sources of attacks. In order to minimize damages caused to the systems, prompt response in incident handling and incident response is crucial. Only with incident handling and investigation procedures being properly implemented, the infected systems can be recovered and backdoors can be identified promptly before affecting other systems. With our wide spectrum of IT system experience, industry domain knowledge and IT security incident handling experience, our consultants will be able to assist you in defining your incident handling and responding procedures. eWalker Consulting team can also setup an outsourced incident response and handling services team on annual subscription basis under pre-defined arrangements. Under such arrangements, our team will be able to handle cases on behalf of your organization. FORZA framework - a systematic digital forensics investigation framework will be used in our investigation services to identify and verify possible root causes to incidents. This can speed up the overall process in carrying out forensics investigation as well as ensuring the procedures will be forensically sound.
