Cloud Security
Security is critical when it comes to cloud computing. While cloud computing has become very popular, the security vulnerabilities to inhibit secure operations in the cloud are plentiful. This concept of operating in a virtual environment requires a robust cloud security architecture with necessary security controls to minimize the potential threats.
Contingency Planning
A contingency plan is necessary for any essential system to continue operations in the event of a disaster. A contingency plan supports continuous operations by providing a plan for efficient system recovery and reconstitution. It identifies the necessary processes and resources, and should always be readily available.
Security Assessment and Authorization (SA&A)
The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002 requires all federal agencies to conduct a Security Assessment and Authorization (SA&A) – formerly Certification and Accreditation (C&A) -- for all information systems. Federal information systems are subject to various threats that can have an adverse impact on the operations of the system. Depending on the system’s mission, the impact of these threats can be critical. With the growing number of threats that systems face today, it is imperative to manage system risks and provide adequate protection for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system and its information.
Financial Statement Audit (FSA) Support
A Financial Statement Audit (FSA) is required for public corporations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines to be performed annually. It provides an objective review of the corporation’s accounting operations for upper level management and investors of the company. As a company grows, greater attention is brought to the financial statements and the assurances needed for this information is important. Therefore, it is important to ensure your FSA is conducted with the highest level of expertise.
Vulnerability Assessment
A vulnerability assessment is imperative to become aware of the vulnerabilities in your system. Once these vulnerabilities are identified, the proper mitigations can be determined, and the security posture of the system can be improved. A vulnerability assessment should be performed routinely on systems to lessen the weaknesses that can be exploited by potential threats.
Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)
Privacy protections should be considered throughout the development life cycle of a system or program that collects personally identifiable information (PII). A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) will provide an analysis of how personally identifiable information is being collected, used, shared and maintained. This analysis will ensure adequate privacy protections are in place for your organization.
