Valuable transfer of knowledge FortConsult provides impartial consultancy services within technical IT security to technicians, employees responsible for IT and managers with an overall knowledge of IT security. Our consultancy product, StaySafe™, concentrates on themes concerning security threats, including how to best assess the threats and be protected against them. The purpose of StaySafe™ is to contribute to the maintenance of sufficient protection for your IT systems against hacker, worm and virus attack. As we generally work together with different parts of a company′s organisation, we always endeavour to use layman′s terms when describing technical concepts so that everyone gains the maximum benefit of our consultancy services. When it comes down to it, consultancy is all about transferring knowledge, and consultancy works best when there is clear communication on the receivers′ terms. StaySafe™ is available either as an ongoing service in which you receive security consultancy at regular sparring sessions, or by hiring us to perform a particular task where you need our input and assessment.   Tailor-made sparring package With FortConsult′s sparring package you are assured of a concentrated and effective transfer of security knowledge to your enterprise. StaySafe™ Sparring is primarily aimed at medium-sized businesses that do not have a large organisation with security experts, and is configured on the basis of the needs of the company in question. Sparring meetings generally take place once a quarter. At each meeting we begin with a review of the general security issues and themes that have arisen since the last meeting. We then examine the concrete security theme that you have chosen in advance to be the subject of the meeting. We assess your situation in relation to this theme and provide good advice as to how you best can handle the issues concerned. You can also choose for the meetings not to revolve around a particular theme, but that instead we go over the security issues of relevance since the last meeting. Alternatively you can ask us to hold a workshop on an actual security theme in which we go into some depth on a complex technical problem along with your technicians.   We review your security As a supplement to the sparring meetings we can help you to solve concrete IT security tasks of a technical nature. Our range of tasks is diverse and can include designing a secure solution for your wireless network, providing advice on how to develop a secure web solution and providing input with regard to which new security products you should choose.   Review with precise solution proposal One of FortConsult′s primary consultancy tasks is StaySafe™ Review, which involves performing a security review of your architecture. We use our experience to recommend precisely what you ought to change in the architecture so that your security solutions do not become either unnecessarily expensive or complicated. The review generally results in a clear report which we present in person, thus enabling you to ask questions and, through our advice, to be in a position to handle the tasks yourself in the future. The typical timeline of a task With StaySafe™ Review we evaluate whether your planned design solution or your existing architecture is watertight in terms of security. Our evaluation shows whether your solutions are sufficiently well designed to meet your security requirements, and the steps you should take to enhance security. The review can include every possible type of architecture such as Internet systems, web solutions, mobile workplaces, subsidiaries or internal networks. As part of StaySafe™ Review or as a separate task we are able to recommend which technologies and security products you should use. We then specify which requirements you should stipulate with respect to the configuration of the technologies so that your company is protected to the highest degree possible. At the same time, we also take into account your other needs, e.g. your wishes as to how the users should be able to work.   We are happy to take on responsibility You can choose to use us as project managers for a particular task, whereby we assume responsibility for ensuring that the project is completed on time, or we can contribute as sparring partners, where you can draw on us to whatever extent you wish. Our certified security consultants have a lot of experience as project managers and attach equal importance to good service and high quality. Their job is to make sure that you are well informed throughout the course of the task so that you know what is happening at all the crucial stages, and to ensure that all communication takes place in layman′s terms so that you get the most possible out of our input.
