Digital Controls’ Technology Services Group Announces NEW Security Environment Assessment Service

Dayton, Ohio--The Technology Services Group (TSG) division of Digital Controls Corporation today announced the release of its Security Environment Assessment (SEA) service, a new offering in its Security Practice.

The SEA is a packaged consulting service that evaluates the network and systems security status of organization's information assets. Based upon a proven methodology, the SEA is a fixed-price engagement that defines the relative risks existing within the customer's environment.  The service evaluates the individual organization's priorities, conducts extensive probing to determine vulnerabilities and performs analysis of these vulnerabilities and finally provides recommendations of the appropriate countermeasures that are prioritized for future action. From this baseline, an organization can significantly improve upon its security policies and practices.  Network and systems environment security is an on going process, a continuous cycle of assessing, monitoring, testing and securing.  Having a current assessment of the status of your environment's security, like that provided by an SEA, is the first step in the security process.

The information gathering process associated with the SEA is done both remotely (external phase) and on-site (internal phase). Technology Services Group personnel utilize the latest tools along with interviews and policy reviews when carrying out the SEA. Further analysis of the information collected is conducted to define vulnerabilities and their countermeasures. This analysis is documented and a specific Action Plan is developed for the customer.  The final report and Action Plan are then presented to the IT and management personnel within the customer's organization.

"Networks, the Internet, and extensive connectivity with employees, partners and customers have been achieved over the last several years through the rapid implementation of many technologies. More often than not, security has been taken on as a secondary task", says Chuck Landreville, Sr. Vice President, Technology Services Group. Added Landreville, "Even if an organization has made the effort to develop and manage a secure environment, vulnerabilities still exist - there is no completely secure network or system. The TSG SEA allows organizations to know just where they are in the security cycle. When developing a security strategy and plan, it is imperative to know where you are, to navigate to where you want to go, especially in this tumultuous environment. Whether you have chosen to do it or are forced by law, information asset security is the responsibility of organizational management with the help of their IT staff.
