As companies pivot toward a digital business model, exponentially more data is generated and shared among organizations, partners and customers. This digital information has become the lifeblood of the interconnected business ecosystem and is increasingly valuable to organizations—and to skilled threat actors. Business digitization also has exposed companies to new digital vulnerabilities, making effective cybersecurity and privacy more important than ever.
PwC offers services that address challenges which relate to cybersecurity and privacy threats, organizational changes, and regulatory requirements for organizations.
As organizations switch to digitization of information, the digital landscape becomes a new attack vector for crime, activism, and terrorism. Critical information that pass through the cyber landscape provide malicious actors a trove of valuable data which they can obtain illegally and use for their own purposes.
Perform black-box to gray-box Vulnerability Assessments on the client network, web application, mobile application, wireless LAN connection, VoIP devices, servers and workstations, whichever covers the requirements of the organization, to identify weaknesses and subsequently perform Penetration Testing to check if publicly-available and advanced exploits can be used on these vulnerabilities to obtain, perform unauthorized transactions, or exfiltrate critical data from the organization. Report these weaknesses and exploits to client management and work with the IT department to remediate and retest these observations.
Perform campaigns or simulations which assess the social engineering awareness of an organization’s employees by testing how will the employees react in case a social engineering attack is conducted to them. This scope also includes the assessment of implemented security hygiene in the organization, tolerance to unauthorized physical intrusion, and conducting security awareness trainings as required or requested by the organization for their employees.
Perform data privacy services which include system and DPO Registration, Privacy Compliance Advisory, Privacy Impact Assessment, Privacy Assessment , Development of PIMS Manual and Policies, Data Privacy Awareness Training, and Staff Augmentation to ensure a comprehensive process of safeguarding personal information, maintaining regulatory compliance and mitigating privacy risks associated with data handling.
