Security Scorecard

The "Security Scorecard" gives organizations a quick, high-level assessment of their security program. The goal is to establish a "scorecard" by reviewing the current implementation of technical controls and security practices, and to make recommendations for improvement, where applicable. The findings from the assessment are provided in a report highlighting areas where attention is needed and providing recommendations for improvement. This is a great way to measure current maturity and understand how best to move forward in security.

Gap Analysis

PCI DSS Gap Analysis — Pileum helps organizations understand their CDE, merchant level, and audit requirements. In cases where self-assessment is possible, Pileum helps customers understand control gaps, how to close those gaps and how the controls fit into the overall security program.

Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO)

A vCISO is a security professional who provides strategic guidance and tactical support to businesses in managing their information security risks. A vCISO works remotely, serving as a part-time or temporary CISO, and provides the same services as a full-time CISO, but at a fraction of the cost.

Our vCISO services typically include:

Information Security Strategy:

The vCISO will develop and implement a comprehensive information security strategy that aligns with the business objectives and regulatory requirements of the organization.

Risk Management:

The vCISO will perform risk assessments and provide guidance on how to mitigate and manage identified risks.

Compliance:

The vCISO will ensure that the organization is compliant with relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards.

Incident Response:

The vCISO will develop and implement an incident response plan to minimize the impact of security incidents.

Security Awareness:

The vCISO will develop and deliver security awareness training to the organization's employees.

Vendor Management:

The vCISO will oversee the security posture of third-party vendors to ensure that they meet the organization's security requirements.

Overall, vCISO services provide businesses with access to expert security advice and guidance, without the high costs of hiring a full-time CISO. This can be especially beneficial for SMBs that may not have the budget to hire a full-time CISO but still require expert security guidance.

Penetration Testing Services

Pileum’s cybersecurity penetration testing, "pen testing," is a process of simulating a cyber attack to identify vulnerabilities in an organization's computer systems, networks, and applications.

Penetration Testing Services (PEN Test)

The goal of penetration testing is to identify and exploit weaknesses in an organization's security controls and provide actionable recommendations to mitigate potential risks.

Penetration testing services are typically provided by experienced cybersecurity professionals, who use a variety of tools and techniques to simulate real-world attacks. The process can be conducted in different ways, such as:

Black Box Testing:

The tester is provided with no information about the target system or network and is expected to perform an attack without any prior knowledge.

White Box Testing:

The tester is provided with full information about the target system or network, including passwords, network diagrams, and access to source code.

Grey Box Testing:

The tester is provided with partial information about the target system or network, such as user accounts or network topology.

The penetration testing process typically involves several phases, including reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, exploitation, and reporting. The tester will identify and exploit vulnerabilities to demonstrate the potential impact of a real-world attack, and then provide a detailed report outlining the vulnerabilities and recommended remediation steps.

The benefits of penetration testing services include:

Improved Security:

Penetration testing helps organizations identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers and take steps to remediate them before they can be exploited.

Compliance:

Many regulatory standards, such as PCI-DSS or HIPAA, require penetration testing to be performed regularly to maintain compliance.

Risk Management:

Penetration testing provides an understanding of the potential impact of a security breach and helps organizations manage risks associated with cybersecurity.

Cost Savings:

Penetration testing helps organizations identify and prioritize security weaknesses, enabling them to allocate resources more effectively to address critical vulnerabilities

Penetration testing services are an essential part of any comprehensive cybersecurity program and are recommended for organizations of all sizes and industries.

Social Engineering

Pileum’s social engineering cybersecurity services are designed to help organizations identify and mitigate the risks associated with social engineering attacks.

Social Engineering

Social engineering is the practice of using psychological manipulation techniques to trick individuals into divulging sensitive information or performing actions that could compromise the security of an organization.

Social engineering cybersecurity services typically involve testing an organization's employees to assess their susceptibility to social engineering attacks. This can be done through a variety of methods, including:

Phishing Campaigns: Simulating a phishing attack to test employee awareness and determine the effectiveness of security awareness training.
Vishing Campaigns: Simulating a voice-based phishing attack by calling employees and attempting to obtain sensitive information.
Smishing Campaigns: Simulating a text-based phishing attack by sending SMS messages to employees and attempting to obtain sensitive information.
Physical Security Testing: Testing an organization's physical security controls, such as access control systems and security cameras, and dropping removable media as bait to identify vulnerabilities.

The results of social engineering testing are used to provide organizations with recommendations for improving their security posture, including:

Security Awareness Training: Providing targeted training to employees to improve their awareness of social engineering attacks and how to avoid falling victim to them.
Technical Controls: Implementing technical controls, such as spam filters and anti-virus software, to help prevent social engineering attacks.
Policy Development: Developing policies and procedures to help employees identify and report social engineering attacks.
Incident Response Planning: Developing an incident response plan to mitigate the impact of a successful social engineering attack.

Social engineering cybersecurity services are an important component of any comprehensive cybersecurity program, as they help organizations identify and mitigate the risks associated with one of the most significant threats to their security: human error.

HIPAA Risk Assessment

Pileum’s HIPAA risk assessment services are designed to help healthcare organizations comply with the HIPAA Security Rule.

HIPAA Risk Assessment

Pileum’s HIPAA risk assessment services are designed to help healthcare organizations comply with the HIPAA Security Rule. by identifying and assessing potential risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected health information (PHI)

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) risk assessments are mandatory for covered entities and business associates under HIPAA regulations. These assessments must be conducted periodically to ensure that the organization's security measures are adequate and up-to-date.

HIPAA risk assessment services typically involve the following steps:

Scope Definition: Identifying the scope of the assessment, including the systems and applications that store, process, or transmit PHI.
Data Collection: Collecting information on the organization's security controls, including technical, administrative, and physical controls.
