ASMGi Cyber Services for HigherEd
vCISO and IT / Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) Consulting Services
Compliance-Based Risk Assessments
Many Universities do not have the budget to perform multiple assessment each year. ASMGi believes that the best approach is to perform one assessment per year that meets your compliance requirements.
Security and Penetration Testing
The goal of a penetration test is to identify and verify the vulnerabilities in your environment that can be exploited by an
attacker and effectively communicate the findings and recommendations in a way that makes the remediation process as efficient as
possible.
Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)
Vendor Risk (Third-Party Risk) has become a priority for managing your own risk. Most Institutions don’t have the means or capacity to evaluate the risk of their vendors. TPRM is designed to fully understand the risks imposed by your third parties, and demonstrate that you are performing proper risk assessments.
Cyber Operations – MDR/MSOC plus
Our ONEteam MDR/MSOC plus Service utilizes advanced analytics, automation, risk-based vulnerability management and our team of highly experienced security experts to provide an end-to-end threat management and response strategy.
vCISO and IT / Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) Consulting Services
Many of the cyber journeys you take can be made more smoothly with the help of our experts. The vCISO suite of services, include any mix of senior resources required to achieve your goals. This may include CISO, Solution Architect, GRC Consultant, IT Engineer / Consultant, Project/Program Manager or any other single or combination of senior level resources.
Compliance-Based Risk Assessments
Higher Education must meet a wide array of compliance requirements, most of which require an assessment once per year. ASMGi will leverage our own Common Controls Framework to map the controls from four (4) compliance requirements into one single assessment that can be performed annually to meet all four (4) compliance requirements, for the cost of a single assessment.
