Cyber Readiness Program for Businesses

Better prepared, better defended, better business resilience.

Cyber Security

< Cyber Readiness

Achieving "Cyber Security" is an impossible goal.
Focus instead upon achieving and sustaining Cyber Readiness.

While aiming for impenetrable “Cyber Security” might seem ideal, it’s a never-ending chase. Cyber threats constantly evolve, and yesterday’s perfect defenses may not hold up tomorrow. The shrewder approach lies in “Cyber Readiness.” By prioritizing preparedness, you can identify weaknesses, respond swiftly to attacks, and continuously adapt your defenses. This proactive strategy keeps you a step ahead, minimizing damage and ensuring your systems stay operational.

Why do we need to be Cyber Ready?

Cyber readiness isn’t just a shield; it’s a springboard for success. Proactive defenses significantly lessen the financial, reputational, and legal blows of cyberattacks. It also unlocks the door to competitive and reliable cyber insurance, with better coverage and potentially lower premiums. 

But the benefits extend beyond cost savings. Demonstrating cyber readiness builds trust with clients and partners, giving you a strategic edge. This translates to secure scalability – you can confidently expand your business knowing your systems are protected for the future. And perhaps most importantly, cyber readiness allows for nimble recovery from unexpected threats. When breaches occur, a well-prepared organization can bounce back quickly and efficiently, minimizing downtime and disruption.

  • Reduced financial, reputational, and legal harm: Proactive defenses significantly lessen the impact of cyberattacks.
  • Competitive and reliable cyber insurance: Strong cyber security posture makes you eligible for better coverage and potentially lower premiums.
  • Competitive advantage: Demonstrating cyber readiness builds trust with clients and partners, giving you a strategic edge.
  • Secure scalability and peace of mind: You can confidently expand your business knowing your systems are protected.

Cyber Readiness Is Your Key to Competitive Cyber Insurance

Being insured isn't enough!

Cyber insurance providers may deny claims or increase premiums for businesses with higher risk profiles, particularly if poor cyber defences breach the insurance agreement.

Insurers typically require businesses to implement comprehensive cyber security measures. These include risk assessments, data backup and recovery solutions, strong security policies, advanced cyber defences like intrusion detection systems, user access controls, and a well-formulated incident response plan, among others.

Without technical expertise these measures can be hard to implement and validate against a cyber insurance policy, meaning risk will be two-fold!

How to secure your business and competitive cyber insurance

To secure better and reliable cyber insurance coverage, your business must continually reduce cyber risks through people, processes, and policies. This involves:

  1. Technical defences for applications, devices, networks, and infrastructure
  2. User defences, including cyber security awareness training, strong password practices, and access controls
  3. Organizational defences such as a solid incident response plan, comprehensive disaster recovery strategies, and robust IT policies.

These steps are crucial in establishing a secure cyber environment, thus optimizing insurance options.

The Tier 3 IT Cyber Readiness Assessment

Our comprehensive cyber readiness assessment provides an enterprise-grade evaluation of your business's cyber posture, offering actionable insights to enhance cyber readiness.

This assessment includes a thorough review of emails, encryption, user access, multi-factor authentication, data backups, and secure remote access.

Should you choose, Tier 3 IT can implement these insights into a customized, comprehensive cyber strategy to safeguard your network, users, devices, data, and applications against contemporary cyber threats.

Email Security

Email security is crucial for preventing your users from being exposed to a range of cyber threats. We test email security by reviewing your email defences and email security policy, testing its defences with simulated attacks, and determining how effective it is at filtering spam and harmful emails. 

MFA

MFA immediately increases account security across your business by requiring multiple forms of identity verification when a user tries signing into an application. 

We review your applications for implementation of MFA, and potential further points of vulnerability. 

Data Backup

A comprehensive data backup can mean the difference between a complete loss or a full recovery after a ransomware attack. To best protect your
organization, you’ll need to develop a strategy
tailored to your data & applications, and regularly test backups to ensure you can complete a full
restoration when needed.

We audit your backup and recovery measures for risks and vulnerabilities. 

Password Manager

Not only is remembering passwords tedious for users, it's near impossible for humans to remember semi-complex or unique passwords across multiple systems.

A password manager not only makes it simpler for user access, it permits the ability to create, store & share passwords discretely.

Encryption

Encryption secures your data from being read by prying eyes and is a critical element to your data protection. Our assessment surveys your data and systems to ensure that stored data and communications are being properly encrypted. 

Secure Remote Access

Remote work is becoming an increasingly integral and often advantageous way for businesses to work today, but it also brings up a wider range of potentially critical cyber risks arising from devices, network connections, and cloud infrastructure. Our assessment also covers this essential aspect of businesses cyber security and readiness by uncovering vulnerabilities, risks and misconfigurations across your network and remote devices.
