Tailored

What Is It?

A tailored security engagement is where an organisation has an assurance need but this cannot be mapped to a specific existing type of engagement. It is the application of security relevant knowledge to a new field, product or service. In short, if your project contains anything information technology related or would benefit from risk insight, management, reduction or resolution then a tailored engagement would be of benefit to you.

Why Assess It?

There are many reasons to conduct a tailored security engagement, five of which are below.

Risk Assurance

Organisations need to manage risk and the biggest risks can reside within areas which do not get covered by conventional security assessment based assurance activities. A tailored engagement allows you to identify these risks and understand how to track, mitigate and resolve them.

Custom Requirements

Tailored engagements allow your organisation to answer abstract security questions, no matter if the subject matter is technical or non-technical.

Research

A tailored engagement may need to evaluate the security impact of something that has not been assessed before and part of the engagement, should it be appropriate, could be to conduct targeted research into a question your organisation wants answering.

Threat Actor Mindset

Threat actors think differently. Where most people see unlikelihood’s and difficulty, a threat actor see’s opportunity. A tailored engagement allows you to harness this threat actor mindset to investigate the art of the possible.

Access Expertise

Conducting security assessments yields a vast experience and expertise in practically every product, service and solution. Conducting a tailored engagement allows this knowledge to be transferred across for application into your assurance questions.

The Agility Cyber Approach

Like all our engagements, we want you to get the most out of your tailored security assessment and we do this by:

Focusing on Assurance

Your organisation has an assurance question it needs answering. We keep this in mind at all times and you can be assured we will not get distracted from it or let it lose priority in the engagement.

Clear Outcomes and Objectives

A tailored approach gives your organisation freedom to investigate. To guard both your time and expenditure, we always work on objective based outcomes so that no matter what the answer is we find for you it is delivered in a high quality, efficient and pragmatic fashion.

Utilising Existing Knowledge

We have extensive knowledge of security in every aspect but also of products, services and solutions we have seen first hand in use. We utilise this knowledge to transfer across security insight into your tailored engagement, delivering additional speed of output as well as value.

Abstract Thought

We believe a tailored approach should be creative. We never let ourselves become constrained by assumptions which could restrict us from delivering something of greater value to you.

Flexible Output

The purpose of this engagement is to answer assurance questions you have. This does not mean we have to just deliver a report as the output. As part of the tailored approach, we are always willing to look at how we deliver the best quality output for you, whether it is directly adding data to an internal system of yours or giving a specific presentation, writing a whitepaper or any other deliverable we will always be flexible.
