Bridging Your Cybersecurity Gaps

Gap Analysis

By evaluating existing security controls, policies, and procedures, Nordic Defender’s Gap Analysis identifies potential risks and vulnerabilities in your current cybersecurity framework and enables you to address them proactively.

Risk Identification

Nordic Defender’s Gap Analysis allows businesses to assess their security practices against applicable standards and regulations, such as GDPR, PCI DSS, or HIPAA, or other nonmandatory compliances such as SOC 2 and NIST 800-171.

Compliance and Regulatory Alignment

By assessing current TDR, SDLC, and all other security programs and policies, you gain invaluable insights into the most critical security gaps that demand immediate attention and empower you to optimize and channel your limited budget, technology, and human capital resources effectively.

Strategic Resource Allocation

Nordic Defender’s Gap Analysis reveals gaps in employee education, awareness, and training programs. By identifying these deficiencies, you can develop targeted training programs to educate employees about emerging threats, best practices, and security policies.

Professional Help from Nordic Defender’s Crowd

Conveniently initiate your program and ensure alignment with the right security standards and frameworks for your business:

One of the best-known security frameworks, it’s a paramount choice for businesses of all sizes and industries since its benchmarks align with essential industry regulations such as NIST Security Frameworks and HIPAA.

CIS security controls

A voluntary cybersecurity framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs, SOC 2 is a lifesaver for B2B companies and SaaS businesses since it’s often a requirement in vendor contracts. Its requirements also interlock with HIPAA and ISO 27001.

SOC 2

Having been implemented by Microsoft, Verizon, Apple, Google, Intel, and Amazon, this specific compliance is a great fit for vast groups of businesses: enterprises, SaaS models, financial services, medical services, and any other party that handles sensitive data. It also overlaps with GDPR in several areas.

ISO 27001

Mandated for any party that accepts, processes, stores, or transmits cardholder data, this compliance is a must for financial services and online businesses.

PCI DSS

Enabling companies to maintain the confidentiality and protection of sensitive health data, HIPAA is the top priority for compliance for healthcare businesses that want to earn their customers’ trust and safeguard their data against breaches. It also intersects with SOC 2 compliance in various areas.

HIPAA

Sets the rules for the protection of the personal data of EU citizens, it applies to organizations of all sizes and industries, regardless of where they’re located. It coincides with ISO 27001 a lot.

GDPR

Having covered a broad landscape of security areas, NIST 800-53 is primarily mandatory for federal agencies in the US. NIST 800-171, another golden security framework, is also an important one for businesses looking to start working with federal agencies that intend to process and store data on behalf of the US government.

NIST
