Guidehouse has experience supporting executives tasked with cybersecurity decision-making responsibilities by fusing deep technical expertise, real-world experience, and an expert understanding of current business trends. Our guidance has enabled organizations to identify and protect their most critical and high-value assets, incorporate all relevant cybersecurity public and private sector regulations, and guidance (e.g., NIST Cybersecurity Framework, New York State DFS 500, ISO 27001) into their cybersecurity practices and utilize real-time data to make risk-informed decisions. We help clients align their workforce and cybersecurity budget with their organization’s mission to maximize their return on investment. 

In today’s world, accessing IT systems, data and process are readily accepted as a daily necessity. According to the FBI, with over 900 cyber incidents occurring daily, experiencing a cyber incident is a “when” scenario rather than an “if” scenario. 

Guidehouse’s Cyber Resilience service focuses on a multifaceted approach that considers people, processes, and technology. Through a mission-focused lens, Guidehouse provides a pragmatic approach to reducing the impact of cyber-related risks to an organization.  

The service is designed to help organizations minimize the impact of disruptive cyber incidents and attacks, identify relationships between organizational objectives, mission-essential functions, operational activities, and dependent technology assets. Whether a client is interested in identifying its mission-essential or supporting functions and technologies, or understanding its greatest risks, Guidehouse’s assessments and strategy development services enable organizations to better protect their critical operations and more quickly recover from cyberattacks.  

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the cornerstone of cybersecurity. It not only builds the underlying foundation of zero trust, but also is critical for security in both traditional networks and cloud-based architectures through the merger of technology, people, and processes. The goal of IAM is to provide the right people, the right access, to the right resources, for the right reasons. Guidehouse takes an identity-centric approach when providing organizations with a tailored IAM solution. Our services range from defining a clear vision and strategy, to architecting the technical solution that best meets your IAM road map, to fully deploying and operating IAM systems or programs. 

Guidehouse understands the critical importance of identifying and responding to cybersecurity incidents as soon as they occur. Our Incident Prevention and Response solutions are designed to help our clients improve their cyber readiness and response efforts. Whether your organization is interested in developing its incident response team or improving your threat posture to reduce the likelihood of a breach, our assessments and training exercises enable organizations to more effectively prevent, detect, and respond to cyberattacks. 
 
We also provide advisory services to clients who have already experienced a data breach. Our Incident Prevention and Response capabilities include forensic analysis, containment, and eradication planning. These services help our clients improve their cybersecurity posture and improve their ability to quickly detect and respond to cyber attacks. 

Guidehouse understands the crucial role that data plays in today’s business environment. Business data encompasses a wealth of information that can be used to better win, serve, and retain customers. Much of that information is sensitive in nature — encompassing both business proprietary, confidential and personally identifiable information, including consumer preferences and behaviors. The disciplines of data security and privacy are interdependent, not interchangeable. A piece of data might be well-secured, even though the way you use it violates privacy requirements. Robust data protection and privacy programs are needed to comply with the many legal and regulatory privacy requirements worldwide and successfully address consumer data security and privacy concerns. 
 
Guidehouse takes a data-centric approach when providing organizations with tailored Data Protection and Privacy solutions and services. We combine industry-specific and privacy regulatory expertise with data protection and cybersecurity knowledge to help clients and industry partners assess, build, enhance, and maintain their data protection and privacy programs.
