· Define the vendor risk management process: The consultant should define a process for effectively managing vendor risks. The process should clearly outline the steps necessary to identify, assess, and mitigate vendor risks, as well as assign responsibilities to relevant business units.
· Identify vendors: The consultant should identify all vendors providing products or services to the organization, including those providing external hosting, data storage, and access to networks or hardware.
· Categorize vendors: The consultant should categorize each vendor by their level of importance to the operation of the organization, assigning to each vendor based on the criticality of the product or service they provide, the amount of data they handle, and their potential impact when their services are disrupted.
· Define vendor risk assessment criteria: The consultant should define comprehensive criteria for evaluating vendor risks, including factors like data confidentiality and protection, service availability, applicable laws and regulations, financial stability, and other aspects of their business and operation that could impact the organization's risk level. Some vendors may require more rigorous scrutiny than others.
· Assess vendor risks: Based on the categorization and vendor risk assessment criteria, the consultant will evaluate each vendor identified for their risks; they can start by asking them to fill out a risk assessment questionnaire. Some more critical or important vendors will warrant a deeper level of assessment involving, for instance, documentation requests, interviews or on-site audits. The assessment team will analyze the findings to measure the potential risks associated, such as those related to legal compliance or information security.
· Mitigate vendor risks: The consultant should develop a plan of action for mitigating any identified vendor risks based on the outcomes of the vendor risk assessment. The organization and the vendor should agree on the risk mitigation plan and arrange for ongoing monitoring and periodic reviews.
· Continually Monitor and Review: The consultant should monitor vendor activities regularly, and periodically reassess identified risks, especially if there are any significant changes to the vendor's products or services, employees or management, or the threat landscape.

· Conduct a risk analysis for each physical location from natural disasters and cyber-attacks.
· Identify Critical Resources: Identify the resources and infrastructure required to support critical business functions. This includes physical resources such as facilities, equipment, and technology as well as human resources such as personnel and vendors.
· Develop a Response Strategy: Develop a plan for responding to various disruptive events, including natural disasters, cyber-attacks, and other types of crises. This should include steps to mitigate the impact of the event, implement business continuity procedures, and coordinate with external partners and stakeholders.
· Develop a Communication Plan: Establish a communication plan that outlines how your organization will communicate with employees, customers, vendors, and other stakeholders during a disruptive event. This should include a list of key contacts, messaging templates, and procedures for communicating during different phases of the event.
· Test and Review: Test your BCP regularly to ensure that it is effective and up-to-date. Conduct regular reviews to identify areas for improvement and make changes as necessary.
· Maintain and Update: Maintain your BCP and ensure it stays up-to-date. This includes keeping contact information, recovery procedures, and other critical information current, as well as regularly reviewing and updating your response strategies.

Creative Cyber Consulting provides Penetration Testing (Pen Test) services to help organizations identify vulnerabilities in their digital infrastructure, systems, and applications. Penetration testing is a simulated attack on an organization's network or system to identify security weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors.
Creative Cyber Consulting Pen Test services include a comprehensive approach that covers external, internal, wireless, and application testing. Cybersecurity professionals use a variety of tools and techniques to mimic the actions of a real-world attacker, with the goal of identifying vulnerabilities that could compromise the organization's security.
During the Pen Test, the team of experts will perform a series of tests to identify vulnerabilities in the organization's infrastructure. They will also test the organization's response to various attack scenarios, including social engineering and phishing attacks. The tests will identify vulnerabilities in areas such as network infrastructure, web applications, databases, and operating systems.
After the Pen Test is complete, a detailed report that outlines the vulnerabilities that were identified, along with recommendations for remediation. The report may also include a risk assessment that outlines the potential impact of each vulnerability if it were to be exploited by a malicious actor.

The evaluation should measure employee knowledge, awareness and behavior changes, and determine if they align with the critical security objectives or not.
· Continually Improving the awareness program: Based on the effectiveness assessment, the consultant should continually tweak and enhance the awareness program to address any deficiencies or update content as necessary.
· Define the scope of the information security risk management program: The scope should consider the organization's size, complexity, and the type of information it processes, stores or transmits. The consultant should work with key stakeholders to define the scope.
