A Cost Effective, Slim Stack
In Hawaii, and probably most parts of the world, we can’t afford tons of services to run and secure our businesses. At Techiniku, we carefully compose our IT stack with security in mind with quality components that each check off many boxes (requirements). In a world of diminishing gains, we want a cost effective, slim stack that takes care of business. Organizations start their stack with either Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 to provide email and document services.
Cybersecurity Readiness & Insurance
We are able to take organizations to a higher state of cybersecurity. Cyber insurance has been on peoples’ minds because it’s a matter of time until you have an incident. Whether it’s a major or minor incident that you can recover from is in your hands. If you have been denied cybersecurity insurance, we have a process that can make you insurable by implementing best practices, starting with a vulnerability assessment (VA).
A vulnerability scan checks for holes in your network and devices and gives you a view of your IT assets. Some devices on your network may have never been updated and might have many vulnerabilities. It’s probable that most businesses don’t know what is on their network. Please, scan your network.
Once you are insured, continue working on your compliance to standards which can make your premiums go down and give you more opportunities. Our program starts with a low monthly subscription fee based on the size of your company, and work is billed by the hour. Don’t get trapped into high monthly fees with companies that are not actively working on your behalf.
Layered Security
Security has to be implemented at every layer of your networks and computers. This includes physical access to your network, the hardware level, software, network services, identity management, backups, etc. Much can be gained from implementing simple best practices, and testing your network. If one layer is compromised, there are more layers protecting you from compromise.
Endpoint Protection & Management / Anti-Malware
An endpoint is a computer on a network which includes servers, laptops, desktops, tablets and phones. These devices need to be managed, updated and protected. We use Remote Monitoring & Management (RMM) tools, Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Anti-malware (antivirus) software to achieve this. We’ve recently seen problems with putting all of your eggs in one basket. We work with several Anti-Malware solutions to reduce risk. We can provide your company with SentinelOne, Threatdown (Formerly known as Prince Malwarebytes), and Coro.
Email & Cloud Security
Most compromises start with email. Ensure that you have an AI enabled email filter that will keep you and your company safe. We are starting to recommend Coro for this because its controls are so effective and keeps up with today’s fast-paced email environment. Coro can secure your endpoints, cloud (ID, data) and email.
Network Services
Along with securing DNS, you’ll want to ensure remote access is safe and reliable. VPN is yesterday’s technology. We can implement ZTNA solutions to give you more secure access than VPN is capable of. Plug up those vulnerabilities: think about your hardware, identity & password management, data governance, backups, encryption, etc.
Compliance
We offer a suite of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) assessments to help organizations track and improve their compliance. These assessments allow for structured oversight of compliance with various industry standards and frameworks, supporting ongoing risk management and regulatory alignment.
Meeting regulatory compliance requirements continues to be extremely important. Our SaaS compliance tracker crosswalks with all the top compliance requirements and gives you real-time information about your current performance and how to move closer to full compliance.
Key Features
- Completion Status: Track assessment progress, including the percentage completed and remaining questions.
- Risk Grades: View current and previous risk grades, with options to switch between monthly and quarterly reporting periods.
- Overall Score: See an overall compliance score based on assessment results, providing a quick view of your risk and compliance level.
- Issue Identification: Identify issues found during the assessment to target for remediation.
- Scheduling & Notifications: Set deadlines for assessments and receive notifications on completion status.
- Marking an Assessment as Default:
- When a compliance assessment is marked as default, click the Pending Tasks button to view all pending tasks related to that assessment, allowing you to track outstanding compliance items and prioritize actions efficiently.
Our GRC assessments empower organizations to maintain compliance and reduce risk by tracking security and regulatory standards across multiple frameworks. Marking an assessment as default and monitoring the “Pending Tasks” feature enhances visibility into action items, supporting efficient compliance management.
