Because every organization’s GRC requirements are different, GBM offers tailored solutions built on a comprehensive portfolio of consulting and implementation services.

• Improve internal auditing and risk assessment with best-practice, standards-compliant processes
• Reduce organizational risk with an end-to-end GRC solution designed to meet your objectives

Define your GRC goals and meet them cost-effectively with GBM.

Digital businesses face many potential threats, from user errors to a growing array of deliberate cyberattacks.

GBM can help you identify weaknesses before they are exploited, to put you one step ahead of danger and secure your operations and reputation. Our specialized consultants hold industry certifications and have registered many zero-day vulnerabilities.

With GBM as your security threat assessment partner, your organization can:

• Hunt and assess threats to your applications and network, including mobile and wireless
• Find and address software vulnerabilities with expert source code and configuration reviews and vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT)
• Implement a comprehensive threat response solution with culture-changing processes such as red team engagement, where the GBM team adopts the role of an attacker to find weaknesses and increase security awareness

Every digital business may believe its infrastructure is secure until weakness is exploited. Whether you have been hit by a breach and need to improve security, or you want to proactively defend your data against threats, GBM can help you identify your vulnerabilities and close the door on cyberattackers.

In a world of growing cybersecurity threats, it is not enough to implement a strategy for today’s security needs.

For businesses of all sizes, GBM is the partner to strengthen and protect your digital architecture.

In a world of costly data breaches, data privacy and protection have become key issues for organizations and governments across the world. A wave of new legislation is being introduced to protect citizens’ and customers’ data and privacy. The EU’s General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) is only the beginning, as other regions look to adopt similar measures. For your organization, these new rules are creating new compliance challenges and responsibilities. GBM offers comprehensive, integrated solutions, designed and delivered by our experienced consultants.

We can help your organization:

• Identify where your critical data lies with proven data flow assessment and data classification processes
• Integrate data privacy and protection systems, assessing your existing measures and ensuring data is processed and stored appropriately
• Achieve regulatory compliance with GDPR and others, by helping you understand the requirements and transforming your operations

If you are working towards compliance with new data privacy regulations, GBM can help you accelerate the process with expert consultation and solutions. If you are concerned about costs and issues arising from a data breach or non-compliance, we can help you fully understand your obligations and meet them.

The power and flexibility of cloud computing is changing the digital landscape. Yet public and private cloud raise new security challenges. It is vital for organizations to know the risks and implications before migrating critical workloads – and before you agree a long-term contract with an unsecure cloud service provider, which you may not be able to leave easily when technical weaknesses appear.

As a highly experienced cloud services integrator, maintaining long-standing relationships with major cloud platforms, GBM is the partner to help you assess cloud security and select secure services you can trust.

We can help your organization:

• Increase visibility into the security of your cloud with full technical assessment of existing and prospective services
• Meet best practices and standards with complete solutions for meeting ISO 27017 Cloud Security and Cloud Privacy standards, and vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT) for public and private cloud
• Get the right deal on public cloud by assessing providers to identify and prevent issues such as vendor lock-in

If your organization is already using public cloud and want to gain assurances about the security of your data, GBM can provide a complete assessment and help you address gaps. If you are taking your first steps towards digital transformation, we can help you select the right providers with confidence. For businesses at every stage of cloud maturity, GBM is the partner to assure the security of your data.

Operational technology (OT) is becoming more integrated with IT, via innovations such as the Internet of Things. While this brings benefits such as real-time reporting and centralized control, it also opens the door to cyberthreats that risk the safety of industrial processes, the people who work with them, and the products they make. GBM’s security team has uniquely deep experience with OT environments across the Gulf region. We can provide industry-leading solutions for assessing the threat landscape, and securing your OT environment.

With and end-to-end security operations consultancy partnership focused on your business objectives, GBM can help you:

• Identify OT security weaknesses with extensive technical assessment of your environment and ICS architecture
• Integrate the right security solution with your ICS, built on our established cyber security management system framework
• Meet the highest information security standards including ISO 27001:2013, NESA and ISA 62443

If uninterrupted production lines are critical for your organization, GBM can help you identify risks and develop a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that mitigates them. If you need to achieve governance, risk and compliance goals, building trust through standards compliance, GBM’s consultants are uniquely positioned to help you understand and meet your challenges.

The insider threat is among the biggest risks to an organization’s information security. From data theft by employees recruited by cybercriminals, to accidental and negligent actions that lead to data breaches – employee errors and attacks can cost businesses dearly in financial and reputational loss. Better security awareness is the answer. GBM helps organizations to mitigate the insider threat, build a culture of security awareness, and verify employee skills with security drills and certifications.

GBM’s experienced consultants design and deliver tailored security and phishing awareness solutions that help your organization:

• Give employees the right security skills, with certified training tailored for senior management, end users, IT users and support staff
• Verify security awareness and policy effectiveness with drill exercises, such as a staged phishing attack, that measures employees’ security skills
• Prevent data breaches that result from phishing attacks, social engineering attacks and misuse of company assets

If your organization has already been compromised once by employee error or negligence, GBM can help you instill awareness and skills to reduce future risk. If you are modernizing your infrastructure as part of a digital transformation process, we can help your teams use new systems securely. For businesses of all sizes, GBM is the partner to cost-effectively manage the insider threat.

Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly complex, sophisticated, and costly to organizations. When even the most technologically advanced enterprises are being compromised, a security breach seems inevitable for any organization. Preventive measures, therefore, are important – but they are not enough. Businesses require a complete solution that can intelligently detect attacks and deliver a rapid, effective security response should a breach occur.

GBM can help you develop and integrate a Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC), integrating cognitive technologies that automate processes, to respond rapidly and intelligently to threats and incidents and alike. With our end-to-end security operations consulting solutions, your organization can:

• Be ready for sophisticated attacks with a CSOC designed and built to detect and prevent incidents
• Modernize your SOC and SIEM (security information and event management) based on technical assessment of your existing solution against our mature framework
• Minimize the impact of a breach with automated CSOC response, plus expert support in incident analysis, forensics and managed security services

The right approach to security operations balances the abilities of technology, people and policies, to cost-effectively defend against risks and protect your business. GBM’s consultants can help organizations of all sizes to be ready for the most complex security challenges.
