Deep Dive: Due diligence Assessment
We provide an independent, high-level assessment of an organization's cyber security by conducting an expert evaluation of the current state of security, considering multiple aspects of security, and holistically assessing compliance with industry best practices.
- Challenge: Investors, private equity funds or individual companies need an independent assessment or need to provide an unbiased report on the current state of cyber security hygiene in either a buy/sell scenario, to demonstrate the current state of security at the target organization
- Solution: OMMAX performs an assessment of the current state of cyber security hygiene by reviewing documentation and conducting interviews with management and technical employees. These inputs are analyzed, and the results are presented to provide an overview of the current state of cyber security
- Benefit: A core due diligence assessment provides third parties with critical insight into an organization’s cyber security posture, identifying risks and vulnerabilities. It ensures an informed investment decision by identifying potential security deficiencies, compliance issues, and past incidents: this highlights the organization’s ability to manage future threats, thereby reducing unforeseen liabilities
Deep Dive: Technical Security Testing
Utilizing our team of expert consultants, the target's attack surface is assessed for vulnerabilities and tested using both outside-in and inside-out security tests by expert white hat hackers, providing a real-world assessment of the technical security posture.
- Challenge: Organizations that are unaware of their internal and external attack surface are more likely to be breached, resulting in financial loss, reputational damage, and legal penalties. Ineffective cyber security investments result in wasted resources, and failure to address underlying vulnerabilities impacts business operations and diminishes customer confidence.
- Solution: Using experienced security testers to identify these risks via scanning and simulating attacks on infrastructure provides visibility into the attack surface and associated vulnerabilities; enabling proactive risk mitigation and reducing the likelihood of breaches. It also enables prioritization of security investments, resulting in efficient use of resources and improved recovery plans that minimize business impact.
- Benefit: Based on an inside-out and outside-in technical security testing approach, organizations will experience an improved security posture by identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities, optimizing security investment spend, increasing customer confidence, enhancing market competitiveness, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Deep Dive: NIS2 Readiness Assessment
Many organizations are unprepared for the upcoming NIS2 cyber security regulation. Failure to comply could result in potential fines and personal liability for executives.
- Challenge: With the October 2024 NIS2 deadline looming, many affected organizations are unprepared for its implementation, requiring costs, process changes, and resources to upgrade systems, train staff, and ensure continuous monitoring. The risks of non-compliance include potential financial and personal liability for organizations and their executives.
- Solution: OMMAX has industry experience in conducting in-depth assessments of current NIS2 practices, developing customized strategies, providing training, and enabling robust NIS2 monitoring and incident reporting processes to ensure compliance with NIS2 requirements to mitigate compliance risks and improve the overall cyber security posture.
- Benefit: Expert guidance ensures that organizations can achieve NIS2 compliance efficiently, minimizing costly trial-and-error approaches by providing strategies that meet specific business needs. This ensures a robust cyber security posture, reduces operational disruption through streamlined processes, and offers relevant training and reporting practices.
