OUR PROCESS
1. Assessment
2. Buildout
3. Support
In this initial phase, Security Counsel will conduct research, evaluate current systems and processes and create a strategy framework for the company to guide the execution of subsequent phases.
Second, we will create the foundation of the security program and implement new policy and train executives and staff. We also iteratively assess, refine, and report on the security plan until it is running smoothly.
Finally, we can transition the program to the company by helping hire and train a full- time security team. Or we can remain as advisors, providing ongoing mentoring & on-call support as needed.
