Our industry expertise gives you that cybersecurity edge
We’re more than just cybersecurity geeks. Our breadth of industry knowledge makes us an invaluable partner in tailoring your defenses to the specific needs of your business.
Financial Services
The FTC, SEC, and other State Regulators have developed cybersecurity standards to enable financial services companies such as credit unions, community banks, and mortgage lenders to best understand their cybersecurity maturity and inherent risk profile.
ConvergentDS takes these standards a step further by leveraging our industry experience, enabling you to focus on the specific issues that will truly move the needle in reducing your overall cybersecurity risks. Our Committed to Security assessment platform within Sanctum HUB supports the various state and federal compliance requirements for an annual cybersecurity review, including SEC, PCI-DSS, NYDFS.NYCRR.500, and FDIC / NCUA compliance.
Media & Entertainment
As the leading provider of governance, risk and compliance services for the media and entertainment sector, we provide assurance to vendors and content owners that systems and applications for on-site, hybrid and cloud-native workflows are correctly configured to protect against security threats. ConvergentDS has representation across EMEA, Asia Pacific and the Americas. Our global team of experienced assessors provide reliable security assessments and testing in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Health Care
Businesses operating within the health care industry — not just health care providers, but companies such as medical device manufacturers — handle high-trust information within a massive technology framework. The federal government requires operators within the industry to do risk assessments, which go beyond basic cybersecurity measures to include compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) safeguards. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology helped develop a Security Risk Assessment tool to aid in uncovering weak points.
ConvergentDS offers a comprehensive knowledge of overall cybersecurity risks combined with an understanding of best practices to protect health care data. In addition to helping apply the ONC’s tool and suggesting solutions, we offer remediation, penetration testing and incident response services tailored to these specific industry concerns.
Legal
While we can help law firms protect sensitive data, law firms often approach ConvergentDS on behalf of clients who need security assessments or who are dealing with the fallout from a breach. With our experience in rapid incident handling and remediation, as well as our deep knowledge of the legal industry, we come alongside law firms and their clients as a trusted partner. ConvergentDS experts also are skilled at working with counsel to preserve evidence and protect attorney-client privilege.
General Industry
For industries that lack specific guidelines, ConvergentDS has developed the Committed to Security program based on the NIST SCF developing a formal framework designed to calibrate an organization’s cybersecurity maturity and control posture. ConvergentDS professional staff will perform a prioritized review of your organization against the various security domains to identify the overall cyber-attack surface, with recommendations for remediation.
