a cybersecurity incident will occur
It’s not a question of if, but when
We help prepare them to achieve their cyber resilience goals – to do what they can to prevent an incident and to respond as best as they can when one does.
And then, to get back up again and do it again.
Our Expertise
Tabletop Exercises
Companies need to test their people, plans and cyber tools before an incident occurs. Often, it’s required by governing authorities and insurance providers.
Outcomes: We develop Injects, or scenarios, to facilitate an attack or incident response simulation. We then produce an After Action Report and a roadmap to remediate identified risks.
Pentesting
Manual, tradecraft-driven penetration testing inside an agreed scope and window. Every finding validated by hand — including the scanner “criticals” we rule out.
Outcomes: Executive summary, per-finding evidence and remediation guidance, a positive findings section covering what held, a live debrief, and a 90-day retest on every Critical, High and Medium finding.
Cyber Maturity Assessment & Roadmap
A head-to-toe look at the company’s environment in line with required cyber governance frameworks such as NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), ISO, C2M2 and others.
Outcomes: (1) Gap analysis and (2) Risk- and Level of Effort-based Roadmap to address identified gaps.
Business Continuity &
Disaster Recovery
Clients are generally not ready for disaster. We ensure they have not only a plan for IT outage due to natural or man-made disaster but that they can return to normal operations as quickly as possible.
Outcomes:
- Business Impact Analysis
- Business Continuity Plan
- Disaster Recovery Plan
Compliance Readiness
We zero in on preparing a company for an upcoming audit, from HIPAA, SOC 2 Type I and II, PCI-DSS and others.
Outcomes: Current state gaps analysis and triage plan for audit readiness.
Vendor Analysis
The cyber market is flooded with players and acronyms. We help clients perform greenfield selection and implementation as well as rationalize existing providers into a more cost-efficient and risk-effective portfolio of cyber tools.
Outcomes: Vendor Assessment and Recommendation
“Bringing clarity and comfort to a space too often the source of confusion and anxiety”
“Skout gave us a clear, practical assessment of our cybersecurity maturity that we could confidently share with investors and partners. They cut through the technical complexity, focused on what mattered most to the business, and gave us a prioritized view of where to focus our efforts. The result was both credible and genuinely actionable.”
