EPI-USE Labs helps companies put in place, or supplement, information security programs with  a range of services, including penetration testing, as well as risk and compliance support.  The outcomes can optionally be used as a basis to achieve certifications like ISO 27001, SOC 2 / ISAE 3402 audit reports or PCI certification. ![Formalized information security programs allow companies to reduce their information risk by implementing robust information security policies, procedures and practices](https://www.epiuselabs.com/hubfs/Labs/IT%20Risk%20Consulting/img4.png) Solving your IT security challenges Organizations implement information security programs to reduce risk and cost, increase compliance, and improve business trust. #### ![icon7](https://www.epiuselabs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Labs/GDPR%20Services/icon7.png?width=69&name=icon7.png) Reduce the risk of system breaches System vulnerabilities increase your risk of breaches. You can harden your systems based on in-depth penetration testing results. #### ![To reduce the cost of information security incidents](https://www.epiuselabs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Labs/IT%20Risk%20Consulting/img6.png?width=69&name=img6.png "To reduce the cost of information security incidents")Reduce the cost of information security incidents Security incidents are inevitable, but you can greatly reduce both the likelihood and impact by putting in place some common sense controls.  #### ![To be compliant with legislation. ](https://www.epiuselabs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Labs/IT%20Risk%20Consulting/img7.png?width=69&name=img7.png "To be compliant with legislation. ")Comply with legislation Privacy regulations around the world, like GDPR, CCPA,and HIPPA, make it a requirement for companies to implement privacy and information security practices. #### ![To gain internal and external client trust by ](https://www.epiuselabs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Labs/IT%20Risk%20Consulting/img5.png?width=69&name=img5.png "To gain internal and external client trust by ")Gain internal and external client trust Demonstrate a commitment to security that has been verified by an independent third party. This may lead to additional business, as many companies simply don’t engage with vendors without formalized information security practices.   How we help you Information security programs can take months or years to implement. EPI-USE Labs has developed the IS-GO™ methodology to streamline the implementation and operation of security programs. #### What do we do differently? #### ![icon6](https://www.epiuselabs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Labs/SAP%20Cloud%20Migrations/icon6.png?width=60&name=icon6.png) Three-tiered penetration testing Risk reduction is the primary focus of any data security program. Before embarking on the journey of creating policies and procedures to safeguard data, organizations need insight into their system vulnerabilities. We provide a three-tiered penetration testing service with basic IP-level testing, black-box testing, and white-box testing. #### ![Information security programs that focus on humans.](https://www.epiuselabs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Labs/IT%20Risk%20Consulting/img9.png?width=69&name=img9.png "Information security programs that focus on humans.")Information security programs that focus on humans Employees find it difficult to follow typical information security policies and procedure documents. Our materials and training have been written from scratch to be easy to understand. This ensures that people can actually follow and use what is in the policy, instead of just satisfying the auditors, which, of course, our methodology also does. #### ![We have done the hard work.](https://www.epiuselabs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Labs/IT%20Risk%20Consulting/img10.png?width=69&name=img10.png "We have done the hard work.")An array of baseline materials Our baseline materials, including project plans, policies and training have been designed to be relevant to the vast majority of organizations, with only a minimal amount of customization required. The value of starting from this base, as opposed to doing it from scratch, is enormous. #### ![We use a risk-based approach to focus on the areas of the highest impact.](https://www.epiuselabs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Labs/IT%20Risk%20Consulting/img8.png?width=69&name=img8.png "We use a risk-based approach to focus on the areas of the highest impact.")A risk-based approach to focus on high-impact areas For many organizations, implementing a security program means checking a whole lot of boxes, in order to say “we comply”. This, however, is the wrong approach. The purpose of a security program is to reduce measurable risk. We believe in identifying key areas of highest impact, addressing it well, and then continuously improving the program. This way, you will also not overwhelm your team with incredibly long to-do lists.
