NCX Group Offers Businesses Information Risk Advisory Program

NCX Group, a leading information risk management consulting firm, today announced the expansion of its MyCSO (My Chief Security Officer) Services to include MyCSO Advisor, a one-on-one telephone and email-based advisory program relating to Information Security, Business Continuity, Incident Response, as well as regulatory compliance.

"MyCSO Advisor is a perfect support option to assist in addressing today's information risk and compliance requirements," said Mike Fitzpatrick, CEO of NCX Group. "For a price as low as $995 per year, every business can get objective and knowledgeable advice to assist them in making the most educated decisions involving their information risk. A 'second set of eyes' from experienced consultants can be invaluable to validate a decision or possibly expose areas not considered."

According to Fitzpatrick, the increased focus on information risk management by President Obama and his administration will make ISO security standards and meeting regulatory requirements such as PCI, FISMA HIPAA, GLBA, and SOX more critical than ever before. "MyCSO Advisor expands the scope and value of our MyCSO outsourced risk management services to assist organizations in proactively managing their business information risk," Fitzpatrick added. "Businesses are facing some very difficult decisions in this tough economic climate and the slightest misstep in executing an organization's information risk management plan could be very costly. With MyCSO Advisor, business leaders can have access to the resources they need when making decisions that impact their company's risk and well-being."

NCX Group's MyCSO embraces three levels of outsourced information risk management services that reduce the cost of in-house capabilities:

MyCSO Advisor - Adds information risk management expertise to an organization's staff by providing one-on-one access to an expert in Information Security, Business Continuity, and Incident Response.

MyCSO Analyst - Provides 24x7x365 customized intrusion detection, security event management, log management, and security event correlation services.

MyCSO Assurance - A fully customized program that tackles the strategic objectives, as well as the tactical requirements, of an information security assurance program. MyCSO Assurance specifically addresses assessment, governance, awareness training, policies and procedures, incident response and day-to-day security operations management.
