Our approach

 

We work according to the three-pillar approach to information/cyber security. The first two pillars are ‘people’ and ‘processes’, The last pillar is ‘technology’.

 

 

 

These three pillars are the common thread in the SWITCH Six Steps methodology, the interplay of methods, procedures and practices that we follow when executing projects for our clients:

1. Pre-scan

  • Making a blueprint of the current situation
  • Determining the target levels per framework domain (ISO, NIST, CIS, etc)
  • Reporting the total overview (radar spiderweb diagram)
  • Performing discrepancy analysis
  • Executing vulnerability scans and possibly penetration testing
  • Issuing an advice note and making a proposal for an improvement plan

2. Project definition

  • Define scope, budget and timeline
  • Choose the best suitable security framework (NIST, ISO 27001, NEN 7510, CIS, SOC 2, etc.)
  • Determine the project team members
  • Define roles and responsibilities
  • Set and prioritize goals
  • Define deiliverables

3. Execution

  • Setting up the Information Security Management System (ISMS
  • Choosing the controls within the defined framework based on risk management
  • Translating the chosen controls into technology, people and procedures
  • Implementing the agreed improvement plan

4. Review

  • Checking the deliverables
  • Subsequent calculation of budget
  • Subseqent calculation of time
  • Perform an internal audit

5. Adjustments & Finalization

  • Adjustments as a result of the first internal audit
  • Final internal audit 
  • Selection of an external audit agency
  • External audit
  • Certification

6. Aftercare

  • Security as a Service (SECaaS)
