Security and Compliance

Progent can provide fast and economical access to CISSP-certified information security consultants. CISSP certification is the most esteemed cybersecurity credential in the industry and indicates mastery of a global standard for information security. To be granted CISSP certification, consultants must demonstrate in-depth understanding of advanced information security strategies and confirm years of professional implementation experience.

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has granted CISSP official accreditation in the area of information security under ISO/IEC 17024. This is the first time that an information technology accreditation has been given ANSI approval. CISSP is also formally recognized by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) in their Information Assurance Technical and Managerial disciplines. In addition, the CISSP has been approved as a standard for the United States NSA's Information Systems Security Engineering Professional program to secure the National Information Infrastructure (NII).

  Security administration involves the determination of an organization's information assets and the development, documentation, and carrying out of policies, procedures, and guidelines. Management techniques that include information classification and threat assessment can be used to identify potential threats, classify valuable data, and rate security weaknesses so that appropriate controls can be put in place.

• Security Architecture and Models
  This concerns the principles, structures, and guidelines followed to design, track, and secure operating systems, equipment, networks, and application software as well as the controls used to police various degrees of robustness, integrity, and confidentiality.

• Access Control Solutions and Methodology
  Access controls are a collection of mechanisms that operate in unison to create a security architecture to protect the high-value data of the IT system.

• Software Development Security
  This covers the key security concepts that apply to application software development. Software development security outlines the circumstances where software is planned and produced and elucidates the critical role application software plays in ensuring IT system protection.

• Operations Security
  This has to do with determining the controls over equipment and storage media and managing the operators and administrators who have access privileges to any of these resources. Audit and monitoring are the mechanisms and facilities that allow the awareness of security-related activity and follow-on efforts to identify the essential elements and report the associated data to the appropriate person, team, or mechanism.

• Site Security
  Physical security provides protection techniques for the entire physical facility, from the perimeter to the desk, including all of the IT network resources.

• Data Encryption
  Data Encryption entails the concepts, means, and processes of disguising data to preserve its consistency, privacy, and legitimacy.

• Telecom, Network and Internet Security
  This area has to do with:
  • Network Structures
  • Transmission methods
  • Transport formats
  • Security measures used to provide availability, consistency, and confidentiality
  • Authentication for traffic over private and public networks and media.
• Business Continuity Planning
  The Business Continuity Plan covers the protection and recovery of business operations after network disruptions.

• Risk Analysis
  Risk analysis evaluates an organization's vulnerability to threats, sizes the damage potential of various known threats, and specifies best-practice controls and mitigation procedures to reduction vulnerability.

• Law, Investigation and Ethics
  This has to do with:
  • Information system crime regulations
  • The measures taken and mechanisms used to investigate computer crime activity
