Solution

Building Your Information Security Program in Three Phases

Transform your security posture from uncertain to unshakeable

through a proven methodology that takes you from

assessment to implementation to continuous improvement.

Phase 1: Foundation Assessment
Know Where You Stand

Every strong security program starts with understanding your current position. The Foundation Assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of existing controls against compliance requirements, delivering a clear roadmap for improvement.

​

Key outcomes

  • Current controls mapped to all applicable requirements including SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, HIPAA, CMMC, PCI DSS, Cyber Insurance, and other industry requirements

  • Detailed documentation including executive summaries and complete assessment reports

  • Prioritized remediation list identifying all requirement shortfalls

  • Strategic roadmap providing an actionable path for building your security program

Phase 2: Program Construction
Build Your Security Framework

With the foundation mapped, it's time to build. The Program Construction phase is a year-long partnership focused on implementing robust security controls, developing essential policies, and transforming compliance from a burden into business as usual.​

​

Components​

Phase 2 is most effective when combining all components below, but they may be selected as needed by the business:

​​​​​Remediation Planning​​​​

Systematic addressing of Phase 1 findings with practical, achievable solutions tracked through regular milestone reviews.

Policy Development

Creation and updates of security policies tailored to the organization, resulting in a complete audit-ready policy suite.

Risk Assessment

Detailed risk assessments with risk scoring and management strategies aligned to your risk tolerance.

Tabletop Exercises

​Testing of incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans before they're needed.

Executive Advisory

Regular guidance for leadership on security strategy and risk decisions with direct access to expertise.

Phase 3: Program Upkeep & Improvement
Maintain and Enhance Your Security

A strong security program adapts and grows. Program Upkeep & Improvement ensures the security program evolves with the business, addresses emerging threats, and continuously improves to meet new challenges.

​​

Components

Continue performing Phase 2 components while enhancing the security program with additional components:

Regular Controls Assessments

Annual, or routine, reviews to ensure continued compliance and maintain certifications.

Continuous Improvement

Identification and implementation of enhancements based on industry changes and business growth.

Policy Updates

Updated policies and procedures reflecting new regulations and framework requirements.

Executive Advisory

Ongoing strategic guidance with security metrics, trending analysis, and continuous support.

Services
Compliance GAP Assessments

Nearly all companies implement cybersecurity solutions, but these implementations are often not evaluated against compliance requirements or industry best practices. In addition, overall progress of the Information Security program is not measured.

​​​​​

​​

​​

​​

InfoSecurity Blueprint’s guided Compliance GAP Assessment addresses these challenges by leveraging the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) as a flexible and robust reference. The CSF allows organizations to establish target compliance requirements that align with their unique needs, enabling the assessment of as many or as few sub-categories as necessary. Businesses can also define the expected implementation level for each requirement based on their specific compliance obligations.

 

Once compliance requirements are established, they are compared against the organization’s actual implementation to identify gaps. This GAP list serves as a roadmap, enabling prioritization and systematic tracking of remediation efforts to achieve compliance and improve cybersecurity posture.

Risk Assessments

Many SMBs struggle to identify and prioritize the technical risks their organizations face. Even when risks are recognized, they are often not documented or updated consistently as the environment changes.

​​

​

​

​​

InfoSecurity Blueprint’s facilitated Risk Assessments bring together leadership from across the organization to ensure diverse perspectives are considered. Identified risks are systematically documented in a comprehensive risk register, which assigns values to prioritize the most critical risks. Each entry includes recommended responses and residual risk values, providing actionable insights. With periodic and recurring assessments, the risk register remains current, helping your organization adapt to changes and maintain a strong security posture.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remediation Planning

Making improvements to Information Security can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with a seemingly endless list of tasks. Businesses also need to ensure that any changes align with regulatory requirements and third-party obligations.

​

​

​

​

InfoSecurity Blueprint’s remediation planning transforms this challenge into an achievable process. Results of the Risk Assessment and/or GAP Assessment are used to identify the high-priority items and quick-win solutions.  From there the business will be guided through structured, step-by-step actions to achieve your remediation goals. InfoSecurity Blueprint works with internal IT staff and outsourced IT providers to facilitate implementation of remediation objectives. This collaborative approach ensures that risks are reduced, compliance gaps are closed, and your organization achieves a stronger security posture over time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Policy Creation

Performing actions accurately and consistently across individuals is challenging without clear, documented policies. Too often, businesses rely on informal practices or “the way things have always been done” instead of policies rooted in defined requirements.

​​

​

​

​​

InfoSecurity Blueprint will help businesses establish robust Information Security policies that are aligned with GAP Assessments and relevant compliance requirements. These policies are tailored to your business needs, ensuring employees follow practices that support both the organization’s best interests and regulatory obligations. By basing policies on established requirements, your organization benefits from consistency, compliance, and reduced risk, making it easier to manage security operations and respond to audits or incident.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plan Testing

Even the best plans can falter under real-world pressure. Unforeseen scenarios, unclear steps, or missing information often become evident only when the plan is put to the test.

​

​

​

​

InfoSecurity Blueprint uses facilitated tabletop exercises to evaluate your organization’s readiness. These interactive sessions guide your team through simulated scenarios, using key plans—such as your Incident Response Plan, Business Continuity Plan, or Disaster Recovery Plan—as a framework. By simulating real-world events, your business can assess how effectively it would respond under current plans. Following each exercise, detailed feedback is provide to help you refine and improve your plans. Regular and recurring testing ensures your plans remain accurate, effective, and ready to address evolving challenges.
