Gap Assessment

Security gap assessment is the principal vehicle used to verify whether the implementers and operators of information systems are meeting their stated security goals and objectives. A well-executed assessment helps to determine the validity of the security controls contained in the security plan and facilitate a cost-effective approach to correcting weaknesses or deficiencies in the system. Completing a gap analysis means determining the difference between the level of security in place on a network, infrastructure, people, processes and the level of security that should be in place on a network, infrastructure, people and processes.

Risk Assessment

Risk is the net negative impact of the exercise of a vulnerability point, considering both the probability and impact of the occurrence. Risk assessment is the process used to identify and understand risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and information systems. In its simplest form, a risk assessment consists of the identification and valuation of assets and an analysis of those assets in relation to potential threats and vulnerabilities, resulting in a ranking of risks to mitigate. The resulting information should be used to develop strategies to mitigate those risks.

Developing a Strategic Plan for Information Security

Planning is always considered a success factor to implement an efficient program that produces highly qualified results under the limits of time and budget. Therefore, CoEIA dedicates its capabilities and expertise to support the different entities that facilitate the information security strategic plans to ensure the integrity and protection of their projects and systems. Based on the different assessments done by our consultants, the security plan is constructed to match the different aspects and characteristics of the organization.

Developing Information Security Policies and Procedures

It should be the task of higher management to formulate policies that represent an integral part of the e-government. Therefore, the center develops information security policies and procedures built on the best international standards and practices, while considering the local requirements. 

Implementation of ISO27001

 

Being one of the most famous and reliable security standards in the world, it has more than 130 security controls to ensure the organization security and provide a safe environment for the organization to perform its transactions and complete its tasks to eventually meet the required goals. 

Implementation of the 20 Critical Controls

The 20 Critical Security Controls have already begun to transform security in government agencies and other large enterprises by focusing their spending on the key controls that block known attacks and find the ones that get through. These controls allow those responsible for compliance and those responsible for security to agree, for the first time, on what needs to be done to make systems safer. No development in security is having a more profound and far reaching impact.

Administrating Security Projects

Security needs differ from one organization to another, so CoEIA lends a hand to administer and supervise any security projects planned for or implemented by any organization in order to meet the desired objectives.
