Services Risk Management
Risk Management

Our combination of traditional and non-traditional Risk Management Services enables UNICON to deliver quality service offerings to our client population at a significant cost savings when compared to our competition.  Our friendly, knowledgeable and experienced team of Risk Management consultants takes great pride in the products and services that we deliver.  Our bias for action, passion for results and commitment to quality is continually praised by our clients. 

Risk Management Consulting

UNICON believes that IT Security is really a subset of an effective Risk Management program. Our focus is helping clients connect the technical (risk assessments, vulnerability scans and assessments) objectives to the strategic (security policy, procedure and awareness and training) objectives while maintaining alignment with business goals and objectives.  Understanding the risk tolerance of the company's leadership and the state of its security controls helps us identify the "Assurance Gap" (Regulatory Compliance, Policy Effectiveness, Incident Response, Risk Management Program Effectiveness, etc.). UNICON can pinpoint specific areas within an organization that have a clear impact to the security posture of the organization and can help define and prioritize the appropriate course of action for remediation or mitigation of residual risk.

PCI DSS and ISO27001 Pre-Certification Consulting

The PCI DSS standard is complex and largely arbitrary.  It can be a monumental task just to map out what needs to happen to gain compliance, much less the actual effort to close the gap.  UNICON can guide an organization through the complex PCI standard and help create an actionable road map to compliance. 

ISO27001 requires both a complete security policy and a mature risk management process in addition to compliance with many security controls.  UNICON can assist with the development of both the necessary policy and risk management processes, as well as the application of organizational policy to conform to the discrete control elements.

Product/Vendor Evaluation, Insulation and Consulting

UNICON believes that many information security organizations are burdened with an over-abundance of security tools and ineffective processes.  Aggressive marketing and sensationalization of information security issues often creates an undue "need" for security products and services.  UNICON consultants help Ohio's TOP CISOs and CSOs evaluate past, current of future security products for their ability to reduce risk in the organization. Vendors often consume a large amount of information security staff time. UNICON NEVER partners with product vendors which gives us the unique ability to evaluate and recommend solutions for our customers that are not fear-driven, provide a measurable reduction in risk and meet the business needs of the organization.
