OUR PROCESS

Changes to technology and cybersecurity best practices are evolving at record pace. Just as our “5 Factor” name implies, we go above and beyond typical security protocols like “2 Factor” authentication to meet the highest level of security achievable. We go all the way. You might even call us obsessed with multi-factor authentication. So much so that we’ve designed our client process (in addition to our name) around the 5 factors:

Security Assessment

The first step of our relationship is to conduct a thorough assessment of your current security measures, teams and tools . This initial security calculation is used as our baseline for building a long-term strategic plan with measurable growth KPIs.

Collaboration
As we build your strategy, we will work closely with your team to identify compliance requirements, vulnerabilities and IT and cybersecurity challenges you need to overcome.

Strategy Implementation
The result of this thorough exercise is a detailed outline of your current stage of security maturity and a roadmap for moving you to your target. With our team’s commitment to 5-star customer service, we’ll be with you every step of the way as we identify, implement and measure the success of security controls set in place for your company.
