Expert vCISO 

 Security requirements keep growing–but your budget doesn’t have to. If you need strategic cybersecurity leadership without the cost of a full-time CISO, our expert team steps in as your fractional or virtual CISO (vCISO), helping you build a strong security plan and roadmap for the future.

From implementing frameworks like NIST CSF, NIST 800-171 or ISO 27001 to navigating HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2, and customer questionnaires, we guide you every step of the way, with real-world experience and deep compliance knowledge, we become an extension of you team–at a fraction of the cost.  

Incident Response

 An Incident Response (IR) plan needs to be documented and tested quarterly. The goal of your IR plan should be to ensure cybersecurity-related incidents are identified, responded to, and recovered from as quickly and safely as possible. By acting quickly to reduce the actual and potential effects of an attack, a strong Incident Response plan will make the difference between a minor and a major incident. 

Disaster Recovery

When was the last time your Disaster Recovery and Incident Response plans were reviewed and tested? Have you ever had an experienced third party walk your team through the plan or lead a tabletop exercise?

An up-to-date Disaster Recovery (DR) plan is critical for any business no matter the size, while many businesses have a DR plan it is rarely tested and in many small businesses it isn’t documented. RITC’s team has a plan to make your business more resilient. RITC Cybersecurity will work with your team to complete a Business Impact Analysis and Identify your critical processes to create an effective, documented and easily maintained Disaster Recovery plan that we hope you never have to use 

Business Impact Analysis

A Business Impact Analysis (“BIA”) is a process designed to identify and understand your companies’ potential consequences of a disruption to business operations due to a disaster, accident, or emergency. The main goal of a BIA is to identify the organization's most critical systems and processes and the effect a disruption or outage would have on the business. The outcome of a BIA is the creation of the Business Continuity Plan (“BCP”), which will outline the procedures and instructions your company must when faced with disruptions to your critical infrastructure.

The analysis involves the following steps:

1. Identifying key business areas and functions.
2. Evaluating the potential quantitative (financial) and qualitative (non-financial) impacts of disruptions.
3. Determining how long can these functions be down before the impact to your business becomes critical.
4. Documenting the resources required to resume business operations not only quickly but safely and securely. 

GRC - Policy and Procedure Development

Let’s be honest few people, if any really, like writing policies. Policies, however, are a critical piece of your cybersecurity practice no matter the size of your company. A full policy set is critical if you are required to be compliant with HIPAA, CMMC, PCI, or SOC2.

When you are designing your policy set it is important to have the support and guidance from someone who has the experience to make this as painless as possible. RITC Cybersecurity’s team will guide you and your team through the 4 stages of policy design to support your needs.

RITC Cybersecurity will lead you through this simple 4 step process.

Step 1 Current State Assessment

We review your existing policies, risk assessments, controls, and procedures to identify compliance gaps. Our team will develop help you develop a plan to get you where you need to be!

Step 2 Design and Implementation

RITC Cybersecurity will work with to eliminate any policy gaps identified in stage 1 and work you’re your team to design and implement the controls that will fix any technical gaps.

Step 3 Education 

RITC Cybersecurity will work with you to educate your team members on the new policies and procedures.

Step 4 Reassess

After the initial assessment, design and implementation, education, and we need to reassess what has been implemented annually to identify any new risks, perform policy review and updates, and fix any new gaps.

Risk Assessment

 The first step in improving your enterprise’s cybersecurity position is a cyber risk assessment against a cybersecurity framework like NIST, CIS, ISO, or a compliance framework like HIPAA or SOC 2 .

The goal of enterprise IT risk management is to identify risk by:

        •       Assessing your environment
        •       Planning to address your future
        •       Analyzing your technology strengths and weaknesses
        •       Identifying missing processes
        •       Understanding employee or contractor-related risks
        •       Documenting and improving existing processes and governance

Assessments of cyber risk management controls can be a time-consuming task and take away from the KTLO responsibilities of your already lean IT team. RITC Cybersecurity works with your team to identify your gaps in your compliance and will develop a plan to eliminate those gaps. 

Change Management

Your Change Management Policy is effective when it is comprehensive, tracked, and, most importantly, followed. RITC Cybersecurity recommends using a comprehensive, enterprise-wide approach that encompasses all changes, including infrastructure, cloud, client-facing applications, and more.

RITC Cybersecurity’s team will work with your team to ensure stability and minimize risk by working your team to implement a streamlined approach for planning and managing the orderly introduction of changes across your enterprise no matter what the size.

 AI Integration & Security

The problem many companies like yours have is not only how do I use AI to transform my business, but how do I use it safely and securely? AI presents a unique security challenge to large and small companies alike, RITC Cybersecurity is here to help! We will design technical and administrative controls specifically for you and how your business works. We do this by understanding how you are using AI and what your goals are and then we custom tailor a solution that will solve your compliance challenges, data concerns, and access controls issues. 

We do this by combining our team’s experience with controls from NIST, ISO, and HiTrust to create a secure AI infrastructure.
