Consulting, Advisory and Training Services (CATS) Portfolio

CATS OVERVIEW

Security and risk mitigation is a strategic, holistic undertaking that requires a solid understanding of security and business. For it to work all of this must be seated in a solid understanding of context - the Big Picture. To make the right decisions, you will find that you need situation awareness on all fronts - security, accountability, corporate, public relations, governance, risk, finance, political, legal, communications, and more. Sometimes you know what needs to be done and simply need validation or more people, and sometimes you're not sure how to proceed and need some good advice and some help getting it done.

Just as our OASIS portfolio addresses operational and administrative activities, our Consulting, Advisory, and Training Services (CATS) portfolio has been created to offer you the strategic edge. The CATS portfolio is an important option available to you for acquiring external, objective, and seasoned expertise and advice, sometimes it's your best option for simply having an extra hand to help you get things done right, and sometimes it's the preferred choice for training and mentoring security and risk professionals.

We have deep history with many security and risk mitigation methodologies, approaches, and frameworks. We use our proven history of success to guide the identification of issues of concern, to reinforce strengths and correct deficiencies, and to serve as the basis of more effective or efficient ways of performing security and risk related activities.
