An audit or a security incident is coming
We sort out who can access what, close what was left exposed and document all of it. So you reach the audit with the evidence in order, and your team can keep it that way.
When we get the call
From what is happening to what changes
This is how most enquiries start, and this is what changes once we solve it.
-
“We have an audit coming and do not know where to start.”
Evidence, ready
You know what will be reviewed, what is missing and in which order to fix it, and the logs are ready to show.
-
“Every device has its own password, and nobody has them all.”
Access under control
Who can access what, in one place, with role-based permissions and a log of every entry.
-
“We get strange emails and do not know if someone already fell for one.”
Your team, prepared
People recognise an attack attempt and know what to do if something happens.
See it in a case
A thousand devices and no master key
It was handled from inside, as part of the client’s team, until the new way of operating was the normal one.
- In
- A thousand network devices, each with its own key
- Out
- Centralised access, run by the client’s own team
How we do it
Step by step, with the blocks it takes
- 01 Shield
Assess
We review access, configurations and exposure, and prioritise by the real risk to your operations.
You keep The risk map, by priority.
- 02 Shield
Fix
We centralise access, close what is exposed and leave backups that can be restored.
You keep The controls up and running.
- 03 Shield
Prepare
We put the evidence in order for the audit and train your team, so they can keep it up on their own.
You keep The evidence ready, and your team trained.
How long it takes An assessment with its fixes takes about a month; a full programme, up to six. Scope and price are closed before we start.
What we need from your side
- Access to the systems and to whoever runs them.
- What the audit asks for, if you already have it.
- Time from your team for the training.

- Backups Resolved Pending
- Tested restore Resolved Pending
- Access log Resolved Pending

Questions
What people ask us before we start
Can you help us with a specific standard?
Yes: we organise the controls around what the audit asks for —a standard, a customer or a regulator— and get the evidence ready to show.
Do we have to change our tools?
Not necessarily. First we make the most of what you have, properly configured; we only add what is missing.
What if it is the network that needs redoing?
If it needs a redesign, Connect takes it on, in the same project and with the same team.
See ConnectIs it a one-off?
The foundation is. Keeping it current —reviews, updates, access for people who join and leave— is what Sustain does.

Let's start with what is going on
A conversation to understand the problem before talking about technology. If after that there is nothing to build, we will tell you.
