Update Cybersecurity Requirements and Issuing New Directives | Dark Rhiino Security

July 31st, 2024

As the end of the fiscal year draws near, now is the ideal time for insurers, supply chain partners, contractors, and compliance institutions to update cybersecurity requirements and issue new directives.

With the continuous rise of cybersecurity threats, new and more aggressive steps are necessary to ensure there are no easy points of ingress for cybercriminals. A significant gap recently identified is third-party contractors and supply chain vendors and partners.

These organizations have traditionally been an afterthought when considering the cybersecurity posture of the first party. In our ever-more connected world, companies are equally as dependent on the cyber measures taken by their partners and vendors.

The cyber areas of interest directly identified:

  • Identity and access management.
  • Endpoint response and remediation.
  • Inventory and asset management.
  • Patch and update compliance.

Though these facets of cybersecurity are not new to those in the cyber world, they can be foreign and daunting tasks for any business owner. Calls to institute these cyber controls and tools often come with little to no context or an outlined path to completion.

If your company finds itself in this position, Dark Rhiino Security is here to help. Over the past several years, we have seen hundreds of these directives from both prospective and current clients.

Our team is eager to review your unique cybersecurity directives and recommend exactly what tools and processes are needed to meet compliance.

We recently had the opportunity of assisting two organizations locally in Columbus. In both cases, we were able to understand and identify the security tools needed and then create a cyber program that met the exact needs. We are well versed in meeting industry-specific frameworks such as NIST, HIPPA, HITRUST, CMMC, and cyber liability insurance requirements.

Cybersecurity has been and will continue to be more than just an IT issue for organizations. Everything revolves around a strong and functional cybersecurity program. Whatever your cyber need is, give Dark Rhiino a call. We are pleased to offer free cyber consultations for all fellow members of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce. Utilize our team to review your current cyber program, make specific recommendations unique to your business, and assess any compliance-related directives.
