Every effective cybersecurity strategy begins with developing a comprehensive risk profile that includes:
‍
→ Identification of the company’s most critical assets and processes.
‍
→ Assessment of the most likely threats targeting these assets.
‍
→ Evaluation of vulnerabilities within these assets or processes that could be exploited by malicious actors.
‍
→ A gap analysis that considers existing controls alongside vulnerabilities to identify weaknesses in the company’s ability to protect, defend, and respond to cybersecurity threats.
‍
Together, these elements define the company’s overall risk exposure and form the basis for creating a prioritized roadmap of risk-mitigating controls.

A remediation roadmap adopts a prioritized approach to address the cybersecurity gaps identified during the risk profiling process. Pyramid focuses on the highest-risk areas first to ensure that resources and investments are directed toward the most impactful
areas.

As a company’s cybersecurity posture evolves, Pyramid recalibrates policies to align with updated risk assessments and control requirements, encompassing technologies, employees, third parties, and compliance governance.

A third-party risk assessment offers a comprehensive evaluation of the cybersecurity controls implemented by third party vendors who store, process or transact sensitive data on behalf of their clients. This may include colocation, hosting, operations support, and other services. Pyramid assesses and triages third-party control environments to identify alignment with the company’s cybersecurity requirements. Third party vendor control gaps identified are reported for remediation.
