Problems We Solve

At Contextual Security Solutions our goal has been and continues to be to make the organizations we serve more secure. The foundation of which is the creation of an information security program that aligns the organizations processes, people, technologies and environments and includes the consistent execution of tasks that have been shown to effectively manage and reduce risk. We walk alongside our clients in a variety of ways, one of which is through our Base Assessment of Security Elements (B.A.S.E.) program. The B.A.S.E. program is an annual program that includes those key engagements that have been shown to reduce risk, reduce the cost of a breach, and improve the security & compliance posture of the organizations we serve. B.A.S.E. is the byproduct of innovation paired with decades of information security experience. Click below to schedule a brief call with our security consultants to learn more about this program.

Contextual Security Solutions assigns both a Security and a Compliance lead on your Penetration Test. We put staff from both areas on every project regardless of the project type because Context Matters – it’s the primary focus of our services and that’s why it’s in our name. Context is the key to helping you achieve your goals. If you’re testing to meet the PCI DSS version 4.0 requirement for Penetration Testing, rest assured that your Contextual Security Solutions Team Leads are well versed in all the sub-requirements that you’ll need to address to stay on schedule.  Our expertise isn’t limited to the major compliance frameworks like PCI, HIPAA, HITRUST, CMMC, etc. We also help clients meet both cyber insurance and governmental grant requirements.

Since 2019, our data has shown that organizations see less than 15% of the steps we use to capture the flag during a penetration test. It’s the primary reason why we created our Attack Visibility Assessment, the goal of which is to ensure that your organizations security overlays are effectively providing the visibility needed to maintain the security of their systems, applications and data.

At Contextual Security Solutions we are Mission Focused. With any mission the best outcomes are almost always achieved as a result of having a solid understanding of both the need and environment prior to its execution. This approach has allowed us to help our clients make significant improvements in their security & compliance postures over the years. We understand that a small call center (service provider) that processes sensitive healthcare information (protected health information) requires a different approach than an Electric Cooperative that provides power for 25,000 members across 3 counties. Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability, the core tenants of the CIA triad, are not weighted the same across every industry. At Contextual Security Solutions, we understand this, and its why our sales team insists on learning about your organization's unique needs and challenges before we present a statement of work.

Compliance isn't easy. It's a continuous process and one that requires oversight throughout the year to ensure that policies and procedures stay current, controls are operating as required, and that those routine tasks are being completed within the designated frequencies. For some organizations, this responsibility falls on the same person or small team that's also responsible for ensuring the security of the organization's operations.

At Contextual Security Solutions, our focus is to lighten the load compliance brings to an organization. Whether it's helping you understand your compliance burden, your compliance scope, or the spirit of an individual requirement or control, our team of Risk & Compliance subject matter experts are eager to assist you in navigating and meeting your compliance burden.  Compliance isn't easy, but we make compliance easier.
