End-to-End Security Transparency

Integrated approach considering security processes, architecture and organization

With increased visibility into security gaps and security processes, pressure on IT organizations is growing. For companies, this translates into a need to exhibit greater security transparency. But transparency across an entire security organization requires trust and collaboration among functional organized departments, which can be difficult to achieve. Holistic visibility into security processes makes it easier to see problems and collaborate on solutions. Despite the advances in digitalization, end-to-end visibility and transparency cannot be enabled in one step. Rather, they must happen incrementally, the result of prioritized efforts. We help our clients integrate end-to-end security transparency by launching it with digitalization projects from the beginning.
