Our Focus

It’s all about what you do and what you need. Our focus, therefore, is based on your business challenges. No matter where you focus within the service lifecycle below, we have practice areas to accelerate your success. Our core expertise lies in the domains of Privacy, Cybersecurity, Compliance, and Data Governance. No matter what business function you focus on, we have the right combination of expertise and experience to help you tackle your most complex business challenges. This understanding and reiteration of client challenges is a necessary first step that distinguishes us from our industry peers. To ensure organizational alignment, solutions designed for each client stem from one or more of the practice areas listed below:

Cybersecurity

Our Cybersecurity services take on a business-aligned and risk-driven approach to deliver maximum value for our clients’ investments. Not only do we perform the traditional benchmarking and assessment services, we apply our business knowledge and industry expertise to ensure that results delivered are relevant, actionable, and actually verified. Our project deliverables can be leveraged on one end to enact mitigation plans, but also used to communicate risks and improvement opportunities at all business levels for audiences that speak the language of risk and value.

GRC Automation

At Trustmarq, we help our clients derive measurable business value, regardless of the platform of choice. We are considered as thought leaders in this space, having written industry standards and frameworks that have been widely adopted. We understand your business model, your industry requirements, and most importantly, having delivered success on numerous occasions with referenceable clients, we can help accelerate your path to garnering business value from your investment.

Privacy and GDPR

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) primarily influences an organization’s culture, much more so than its business processes or technology platforms. For this reason, updates to business processes and/or upgrades to technology platforms, or even purchasing “silver bullet” platforms will not help an organization achieve GDPR compliance. A cultural acceptance is required and change must occur from within the core of the organization for continual GDPR compliance to take root.

TPRM

A truly holistic Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) program goes beyond the reactive response that is typically limited to third party contract reviews, and takes a proactive approach to ensuring risk is adequately understood, communicated, and managed within acceptable thresholds.

As business increase their dependence on third parties, and customers increasingly are concerned about their provider’s risk posture, it is now evident from breach data of the last few years that some of the largest breaches in history have been made possible by a weak third party link, causing financial losses and reputation damage to many organizations.

FedRAMP

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is accelerating the government’s path to the cloud, and its making it possible for cloud service providers (CSP) to validate their readiness to provide secure services to government agencies. However, the path to FedRAMP compliance is filled with complexity, cost overruns, and misinterpretations on what needs to be done. Not to mention, there is an acute shortage of qualified personnel who actually have done this work and have applied their experience to continue to accelerate their clients’ path to FedRAMP compliance and to receiving the Authority to Operate (ATO).

Compliance Evidence Management

Compliance evidence collection has been traditionally a costly endeavor. Its typically either done manually, or heavy investment and time is spent to automate this workflow into a GRC platform. Yet, at the end of the day, none of the Tier 1 GRC platforms properly address this business challenge and there is lot left to be desired. When we set out to address this challenge, we asked several of our CISO clients to identify their primary concerns with evidence lifecycle management, and here’s what they came back with: Click here to learn more about our team’s capabilities.
