A constitutional approach to cybersecurity creates a living framework designed to evolve with modern threats, compliance standards, and business risk.

If each of us looks back to our school days, when studying United States Government, we undoubtedly learned about the United States Constitution. Before anyone’s eyebrows raise and you suddenly think we’re about to get political….do not fear, we are not. I’m sure those of you reading this have heard the phrase: “The United States Constitution is a living and breathing document.”

Those who need to meet state, federal, or global standards of cybersecurity compliance or those who place a significant value on their company’s cybersecurity position have their own “constitution” which is a living and breathing group of documents we call Cybersecurity Policies and Procedures. I have often called Auxzilliums managed compliance “A constitutional approach to cybersecurity.”

The United States Government also has the United States Supreme Court. The justices that sit on this court are experts in the law as it relates to the Constitution. Similarly, cybersecurity compliance has their own experts, and they possess credentials like CMMC Certified Professional (CCP), Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP), and work for companies that are Certified Third-Party Assessment (C3PAO) providers.

It is of fundamental importance that those managing your cybersecurity position have the proper credentials recognizing them as authorities to interpret and recommend the proper cybersecurity controls which meet the standards you are required to or have an interest in meeting.

Additionally, these experts can draft, manage, and review your entire cybersecurity plan and act as the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for your business.

There are many service providers in this space that market solutions and reference terms like compliance and cybersecurity. Without a doubt, it is a topic that grabs headlines almost every day. However, they possess neither the experience, expertise, or credentials to speak definitively about what your business should and shouldn’t be doing. What are the ramifications to your business’ cybersecurity defense if it’s being led by enthusiasts rather than authorities?

As threats to the information technology world have evolved, you can’t rely on old school approaches to modern threats. You need a team that remains vigilant. You need a team that is engaged on the front lines of modern cybersecurity warfare and proactively addresses vulnerabilities. You need Auxzillium. We have recognized this need and evolved our business to make the safety of yours a priority. Perhaps it’s time to reach out?
