CONSULTING SECURITY SERVICES
TRUST-IT’s security consulting connects information risk with business priorities. We help enterprises and public organisations assess vulnerabilities, plan incident response, develop policies and improve the controls already in place. The work considers applicable requirements, operating responsibilities, security costs and the intended benefit of each improvement.
Trust-IT makes recommendations to strengthen policies, as well as redlined versions of the initial policy documents. Trust-IT can also rewrite the organization’s policies or create new ones where needed. Most policy review assignments involve a combination of policy review and new policy development.
Organizations require fluid integration of all asset information— from asset information and engineering drawings to business plans and financial plans to customer account profiles and servicing records to regulatory requirements and historical compliance documents.
Trust-IT has become an increasingly integral component for companies executing compliance strategies and requirements.
Certification Preparation for Organizations/ Businesses
TRUST-IT engineers can prepare, update and maintain a Company’s portfolio for Security Certifications. Specifically, TRUST-IT will assess a Company’s IT systems in order to prepare the necessary Questionnaires and Statements for Certifications.
The scope may include organisational standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 27001, or preparation of personnel for CISA, CISSP, EC-Council and vendor qualifications from Cisco, Microsoft and Oracle. Organisational certification and individual professional qualifications are separate processes.

Cyber insurance transfers specified financial consequences of cyber incidents to an insurer under the agreed policy. Risk assessment helps an organisation discuss its exposure and coverage needs with its insurance advisers.
Organisations may consider the consequences of data loss, downtime, third-party claims and other incident costs. Available cover depends on the policy terms, exclusions and applicable requirements.
TRUST-IT can provide Cyber Insurance contracts in cooperation with foreign insurance companies.
As companies grow through acquisition or mergers, the complexity of the IT security challenge increases. Entire new user populations and applications, as well as many heterogeneous legacy systems, must be integrated into an existing IT infrastructure.
The complexity of the resulting infrastructure can increase significantly. Trust-IT strategy capability can be used to significantly reduce the costs associated with IT security management, thereby improving the overall operational efficiency of the enterprise.
Maximizing return on Security Investment is normally defined as the value of loss deference/reduction to money invested on security enhancements. Some security investments do have specific ROI and are also defined as an ‘incremental gain on an action.
Trust-IT can provide methods to increase ROSI:
• Minimize/eliminate operational losses
• Minimize investment
• Maximize positive returns (where ROI applies)
• Accelerate the timing of returns

Trust-IT believes that with enterprise security, as in many other industries, you can measure the cost and effectiveness of your security program, as well as build a strategic roadmap for future planning, by relying on a maturity model that takes into account the real-world experiences of other organizations.Vulnerability scanning is the best way to provide controlled, repeatable security analysis of the hosts and devices on any network.
Trust-IT’s team help businesses meet the challenge of creating a security posture that corresponds to the threats, risks and business demands they face—while providing a clear path to improving security levels as situations and conditions evolve.
Connect security advice to implementation decisions
A security review is most useful when it addresses a decision: which exposure to fix first, how to organise responsibility or whether a proposed architecture supports a critical business service. We establish the relevant systems, business priorities and constraints before defining assessment activities and the evidence needed.
Recommendations can then be grouped into immediate action, foundational improvement and longer-term work. Each item should have a responsible owner and a clear way to confirm completion. Where implementation or independent testing is needed, the next engagement can be scoped against the specific recommendation.
