B.A.S.E.

The Base Assessment of Security Elements (B.A.S.E.) program is a security as a service offering that focuses on strengthening your cybersecurity and compliance foundations, while providing visibility into today’s ever-evolving risk & exposure landscape. Contextual Security Solutions curated B.A.S.E. specifically to include elements that industry-leading research has identified as being critical in protecting the enterprise while reducing costs in the event of a breach.

The B.A.S.E. program is divided into four distinct sections (Baseline, Assess, Respond and Risk/Comply), that build upon each other. The goal of B.A.S.E. is to provide a framework that will have a maximum positive impact on your security, risk & compliance posture without breaking the budget or overburdening your existing information technology staff while supporting due diligence.

Components that make up the B.A.S.E. program, per a recent “Cost of a Data Breach” whitepaper, were found to reduce on average the cost of a data breach by over 1 million dollars.

Incident Response Training and Testing, Threat Hunting, and Offensive Security Testing, which are all core tenants of the BASE Program, represent key activities that have been found to improve security and significantly reduce the cost of a breach.

In addition, the Security Skills Shortage and Noncompliance with Regulations represent two of the three largest breach cost amplifiers. As with all of our services, every B.A.S.E. program is assigned a Team Lead from both our Assessments and Risk & Compliance division to provide expertise across the enterprise.
