For CISOs

Threats to cybersecurity and business continuity are rising across the globe. Regulators are stiffening privacy policies and requiring companies to certify their compliance. This puts enormous pressure on the role of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs). It falls to the Chief Risk Officer, the CISO or the General Counsel to establish data governance and security policies, ensure the company is up-to-date in its cybersecurity safeguards, pro-actively develop ransomware and business continuity plans, and to establish and test disaster recovery readiness.

FTI has developed an offering called the “Office of the CISO” to help executives in these complex and inter-related task. We can provide any or all of the services below, and even act as your CISO on a retainer basis, if needed.

Regulatory Compliance

Growing data privacy and cybersecurity concerns have led to an increase in legislation and regulation, which often involve demanding requirements. FTI Consulting’s Compliance services are focused on ensuring that your organization meets its unique compliance requirements while maximizing the return on cybersecurity investment.

The web of potentially overlapping compliance and regulatory regimes that call into play cybersecurity matters can be daunting, but FTI Consulting experts leverage a global network to support clients with conducting a regulatory gap assessment to identify necessary changes that need to be made to achieve compliance; assessing the client’s data environment, security infrastructure and existing cybersecurity policies, procedure and processes; designing a control development and revision strategy that will recommend technology solutions, human resources and policy changes; and, aiding in the implementation of recommended solutions to achieve compliance.

Regulatory Compliance in Action:

SITUATION

A security breach resulted in an investigation by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR).

OUR ROLE

We were engaged to help manage breach communication and documentation and to develop a robust privacy and security program to protect against future compliance risk.

OUR IMPACT

We provided a rapid, initial assessment of the existing privacy and security program, followed by a formal risk assessment report that included specific findings and recommendations. Our recommendations allowed our Client to strengthen their privacy and security program to meet the requirements of HIPAA and HITECH.
