The Five Elements of a Successful Security Program

  1. Education. The best defense is a trained and aware team. Five Elements provides live in person or digitally delivered security trainings that are based on real world issues and cases that we have experienced. This is NOT your normal Cyber Security Training class!
  2. Assessment. An experienced security expert will assess and evaluate your business IN PERSON. Only by being on-site can a true security evaluation occur. Your Five Elements consultant will be with you for every step of the process!
  3. Awareness. You cannot defend against what you don’t know about. We provide email alerts and in extreme cases direct calls to warn your business of breaking security threats and Dark Web monitoring services.
  4. Mitigation. Obviously Training and Awareness are only part of the total security program. Your Five Elements consultant will be with your team and vendors to advise and assist with remediating the security issues encountered in the Assessment.
  5. Documentation. Often overlooked or ignored by other Cyber Security companies, proper documentation can be key to surviving a Cyber incident or other business interruption. Five Elements Consultants will provide your business a complete suite of necessary documentation, including full assessment reporting, Policy and Procedure manuals (including HIPAA where needed), and assist with the formation of a Business Continuity Plan.

The Five Elements Difference – Finding that “Zen” space in which the people and machines work together for a secure environment.

Five Elements Consultants understands that the human element should be the focus of all security including Cyber. Our focus has always been to work closely with our clients to help them build a secure business, we want to know your people and understand your culture. We LISTEN to your fears and your goals. Only by becoming part of your company culture can we make real and realistic recommendations for security improvement!

There is a saying in the world of Cyber Bad Guys, “ Amateurs hack Systems, Professionals hack people”

Don’t let an IT company or “cookie cutter” security firm sell you on throwing money at technology, only to have your team inadvertently cause a data breach. People are truly the hidden key to good security, we believe it and we live it in what we do. Not only do we get to know your team and train them, we follow up by testing them with phishing programs and security tests, along with continuing education programs tailored to your needs.

The Importance of an Independent Security Assessments

Five Elements Consultants LLC. is not a computer/IT company. As an impartial partner with your business, we provide highly trained cybersecurity experts that have real world experience not only responding to Cyber Security incidents but also as former IT engineers and technicians.

The industry standard is for IT companies to partner with cybersecurity companies to independently audit their client’s network. If your IT company tells you that they can do everything that a cybersecurity company can do, this is a red flag. What are they hiding? Why would they not want the most secure solution for their clients? Who is independently checking the security of the networks they installed? Progressive companies understand the value and necessity of a Risk Assessment from an independent third party. Many insurance companies now require it for Data Breach policies and regulators including Health and Human Services demand annual risk assessment.
