Technology Audit and Assurance
We work with businesses and organizations to ensure their infrastructure provides the protection they need to comply with governance requirements and industry best practices.
Education and Awareness
Only one user has to fall for a phishing or malicious email to cause a security incident or data breach. We work with partners, such as KnowBe4, to conduct employee security awareness training, which includes social engineering testing and monitoring.
Security and Risk Consulting
We assess, reduce and manage your security risk. Our experts conduct policy reviews, secure your assets, and develop business continuity and disaster recovery plans.
Executive Advisory Services
We offer outsourced Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer governance services, strategic technology planning, and assistance with creating and monitoring the IT environment.
No-Obligation Cybersecurity Health Check
One wrong click can cause a security incident or data breach and the impact could be devastating. Whittlesey’s Cybersecurity Health Check is a comprehensive audit that will identify your level of cyber risk and provide a roadmap to improve it.
If you are experiencing a cybersecurity incident, contact the Whittlesey team to help.
In the case of an incident, we’re here to investigate and remediate systems, comply with the proper authorities, and facilitate the road to recovery.
