THE PROTECTION YOU NEED FOR PEACE OF MIND
IT Security & Compliance
Imagine not having to worry about your IT systems, just knowing that they are safe, secure, and compliant!
At Waypoint, we can offer you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you’ve implemented robust, secure systems that are continually monitored. We offer a range of IT security and compliance services.
IT Security Assessments
We perform a comprehensive review of your IT environment to identify potential weaknesses and risks. This can include evaluating your systems, networks, policies, user practices to uncover vulnerabilities that could lead to a data breach or cyberattack.
IT Security Policy Development
We work with you to create clear rules and guidelines for how technology should (and shouldn’t) be used within your organization. This can include password requirements, acceptable use of company devices, remote work practices, and data handling.
Gap Analysis and Roadmap
We perform a gap analysis that compares your current security and compliance practices to industry standards and requirements. Once we’ve uncovered the gaps, we design a clear roadmap that illustrates the steps that need to be taken to strengthen your overall security.
Incident Response Planning
In an incident response plan, we explicitly prescribe what to do in the event of a data breach or cyberattack. The security plan defines roles, communication steps, and recovery procedures, so that your IT team can respond quickly and effectively to prevent or minimize the damage.
Email Protection
Each email account, for every one of your employees, is a potential entry point into your IT system. We can implement email safeguards that help protect your business from phishing, malware, spam, and more. Advanced email filtering tools can scan incoming and outgoing messages to block spam, suspicious links, attachments, and impersonation attempts.
Access Control
When we set up access control solutions, we ensure that your employees only have access to the systems and data that they need, not broad or company-wide access. By limiting permissions, we can help reduce the risk of unauthorized access, accidental data exposure, and employee threats.
Penetration Testing
With penetration testing (also known as “pen testing”), we simulate real-world cyberattacks to find weaknesses in your system before hackers can. As “ethical hackers,” we attempt to break into your IT system, then show you the vulnerabilities and come up with strategies to fix them.
Routine Vulnerability Scanning
We regularly scan your IT systems for known security weaknesses. These routine security scans flag outdated software, misconfigurations, missing software patches, and more.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
We can implement EDR tools that monitor your computers (desktop and laptop) for suspicious activity. If a cybersecurity threat is detected, the EDR system can notify us, and your IT team, and isolate the device. This helps stop the attack before it spreads across your network.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Implementation
MFA is becoming more commonplace and for good reason – it’s one of the most effective ways to prevent unauthorized access to your IT systems and data. Even if cyberattackers gain access to passwords, they can’t get into your system without an MFA code. We can implement MFA for logins, access points, and sensitive data.
Security Awareness Training
We can provide security awareness and training for your employees. We teach people how to recognize and avoid common cyber threats, such as phishing emails, suspicious links, and social engineering scams. Because most cybersecurity attacks start with human error, regular security training for your staff is one of the best ways to avoid a data breach or cyberattack.
