Human Risk Management Programme

Comprehensive cybersecurity awareness and training initiative to reduce human-related security incidents.

Challenge

Organisation experiencing high rates of phishing success and security policy violations, with limited awareness of cybersecurity risks among staff.

Approach

Developed multi-faceted approach combining behavioural analysis, targeted training programmes, simulated phishing campaigns, and continuous monitoring of security awareness metrics.

Outcome

Achieved significant reduction in security incidents and improved overall security posture through enhanced staff awareness and behavioural change.

Key Metrics

  • TODO: Add specific metrics (e.g., "75% reduction in successful phishing attempts")
  • TODO: Add completion rates for training programmes
  • TODO: Add incident reduction percentages

Security Operations Center Transformation

Complete overhaul and modernisation of SOC capabilities to enhance threat detection and incident response.

Challenge

Legacy SOC infrastructure with limited visibility, slow response times, and high false positive rates impacting operational efficiency.

Approach

Implemented modern SIEM platform, developed custom detection rules, established tiered response procedures, and created comprehensive playbooks for common incident types.

Outcome

Dramatically improved threat detection capabilities and reduced mean time to detection and response.

Key Metrics

  • TODO: Add MTTR improvements
  • TODO: Add false positive reduction rates
  • TODO: Add detection capability metrics

Enterprise Incident Response Framework

Development and implementation of comprehensive incident response capabilities for complex security events.

Challenge

Lack of structured incident response processes resulting in inconsistent handling of security incidents and extended recovery times.

Approach

Created standardised incident classification system, developed response playbooks, established communication protocols, and implemented post-incident review processes.

Outcome

Established robust incident response capability with clear escalation procedures and improved coordination across teams.

Key Metrics

  • TODO: Add incident response time improvements
  • TODO: Add recovery time metrics
  • TODO: Add stakeholder satisfaction scores

Continuous Security Assessment Programme

Implementation of ongoing security testing and assessment capabilities to identify and address vulnerabilities.

Challenge

Point-in-time security assessments providing limited ongoing visibility into security posture and emerging vulnerabilities.

Approach

Established continuous vulnerability scanning, regular penetration testing schedule, and automated security assessment tools integrated with remediation workflows.

Outcome

Created proactive security testing capability with automated reporting and tracking of remediation efforts.

Key Metrics

  • TODO: Add vulnerability reduction metrics
  • TODO: Add assessment frequency improvements
  • TODO: Add remediation timeframes
