Citrin Cooperman’s 60 Second Cybersecurity Assessment
Do you conduct periodic cybersecurity risk assessments to help focus your resources on the threats that are most likely to occur and would have the greatest impact? Are you confident that your IT resource is not just “keeping the lights on” by concentrating on computer and server support, and that they are also focused on establishing robust cybersecurity defenses? Do you complete periodic penetration tests to determine whether there are any active threats or vulnerabilities in your environment that can be leveraged by cyber criminals? If you accept payment cards, are you compliant with the latest version (4.0) of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, known as PCI DSS? Have you established security policies and procedures to provide the necessary guidelines needed to reduce the risk of an incident? If you utilize cloud-based applications, have you evaluated whether you’ve addressed the complementary user entity controls spelled out in the vendor’s SOC report? Are you providing periodic cybersecurity awareness training and supplementary spear phishing campaigns to prepare your employees to detect and avoid social engineering attacks? Have you acquired a cyber insurance policy that would cover the relevant risks that threaten your business? Do you regularly patch all of your applications, networking hardware, servers, and workstations so that they are more resistant to security threats? Do you have the necessary backup solution, response plan, and external resources in place to rapidly respond and recover from a cyber incident such as a ransomware attack?
