In today's federal market, businesses must adhere to complex and rapidly changing laws that require high levels of cybersecurity readiness to safeguard sensitive information and protect against the escalating risk posed by threat actors. However, for businesses new to the federal market, achieving compliance with these regulations can be challenging.
As part of their Program Assessment services, TATS offers guidance and gap analysis for important cybersecurity standards from federal agencies such as NIST, the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and many others. These regulations include NIST SP 800-53, which is a critical component of the NIST cybersecurity framework, and TATS assists their clients in adhering to it by selecting security controls, providing training for self-evaluations, and conducting gap analyses.
Additionally, TATS assists clients in understanding and implementing the NIST SP 800-171 (DFARS) guidelines for systems that handle sensitive data and information that does not warrant a "classified" designation. They also offer support for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), which supplants key NIST regulations and International standards for Defense contractors and is rapidly being adopted by other federal agencies as the de facto standard for cyber-readiness.
TATS helps cloud service providers meet FedRAMP requirements as part of the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program and assists Federal customers in ensuring that the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their sensitive data are properly protected by their cloud service providers. Lastly, TATS helps companies handling branded credit cards stay in good standing within their industry by protecting their information and lowering the likelihood of credit card fraud.
In summary:
Businesses need to stay on top of the ever-changing federal regulatory climate and anticipate new criteria to ensure their mission-critical assets are safe from security threats. TATS offers Program Assessments that examine risk management programs and operations to ensure regulatory compliance. Senior experts collaborate with your personnel to determine the standards and laws your programs must abide by.
TATS focuses on compliance areas, points of non-compliance, and program effectiveness. Recommendations are provided with a better level of due diligence that considers real dangers and company procedures. Customized reports and presentations are delivered to senior management, including technical knowledge for information and operational technology employees.
Remedy suggestions are given in the context of anticipated danger levels to enhance your organization's policies and processes, secure compliance, and reduce the risk of future exposures.
In summary:
Threats to an organization's systems and data can pose significant risks that may not always be immediately apparent. Such threats can include hacking attempts, unauthorized access to sensitive data, and other security breaches. The only effective way to manage these potential hazards is to conduct regular and accurate risk assessments.
Our company provides Risk Assessments to our clients to help them identify and mitigate risks in a manner that aligns with their business goals. We utilize reliable and controlled processes that are periodically reviewed to ensure that our results are consistently relevant and compliant with relevant regulations. These risk assessments are a crucial part of any effective risk management program, as they enable organizations to maintain an acceptable level of risk while highlighting the necessary control measures.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has outlined a standard risk assessment process that involves gathering information on threats and vulnerabilities from external sources, identifying and documenting internal and external threats, assessing the potential impact on business operations, and identifying and ranking appropriate risk responses.
By conducting a thorough risk assessment, organizations can allocate their IT and security budgets more effectively while ensuring compliance with applicable rules and regulations. However, applying the findings of risk assessments can be challenging for companies with diverse infrastructures. Interpreting actionable insights from multiple assessments across different environments can be a daunting task.
In summary:
Businesses frequently find cybersecurity rules to be complex, convoluted, and replete with unnecessary elements that are challenging to absorb and apply when they first meet them. Although the continually changing threat landscape and the varying needs of numerous different organisations necessitate this level of complexity, it provides a challenging barrier for firms prior to audits and third-party assessments.
TATS fills the gap between security laws and your organization's particular requirements. Veterans from the US security community, including the DoD, DHS, and the US Cyber Command, make up our team and offer the knowledge you need to sort through the noise and discover the solutions to your problems.
We assist businesses in making the connection between rules and threats to their operations, income, and clientele through our consulting services. We provide them with the tools they require to decide on the best security plan that complies with rules and offers the highest level of security.
Today, federal contractors are being held to harsher scrutiny than ever before. Before they may participate in government contracts, they must not only adhere to standard self-assessment procedures but also get ready for audits and independent third-party assessments.
TATS offers guidance for expenditure and assurance of assessment readiness by assisting firms in identifying gaps between their security plan and federal regulations. We simplify information so that everyone can understand the state of their compliance programme and provide the best methods and resources for improvement.
