CASE STUDY // CYBERSECURITY ACTION PLAN, THIRD-PARTY RISK

The [redacted] vCISO team was initially engaged to conduct a full assessment,
outline an improvement roadmap, and provide an action plan with a heavy focus on
third-party risk that could be incurred as part of an acquisitions process. This effort
yielded assurances of several critical security components, identified critical security
gaps for remediation, and helped the executive team understand a path to continued
security posture improvement.

Additional engagement
Prior to the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a client tapped the [redacted] team to lead additional
vulnerability scans of the networks belonging to third-party acquisition targets, teaching the client team
how to best manage identified vulnerabilities and risks. Hard budget decisions resulting from the impact
of the pandemic meant sacrificing these efforts.

Unfortunately, shortly thereafter the client was completely compromised by a ransomware attack, likely
originating from unmanaged network vulnerabilities in a recently acquired third party. [redacted] was quickly
re-engaged to address the event by the Chief Risk Officer, calling it his “secret weapon.”

Outcomes
[redacted] became a trusted partner for both strategic planning and rapid response in a critical situation.
More importantly, our client recognized the importance of making the correct security investments to
minimize risk and ensure business continuity in normal and exceptional business conditions.
