Security in Action Framework
It’s critical to have a clear security framework so you can identify and implement the right controls to build the strongest security posture for your business.
Click on the different parts of the SIA framework to learn more.
Nuspire’s Security in Action (SIA) framework is the foundation of everything we do with our clients. It includes measures we often see missing in security frameworks, such as customization aligned with specific client goals, existing technology and industry needs, as well as continuous improvement of a security program over time.
The SIA framework is based on your industry, technology, infrastructure, staff, expertise and other variables. It allows you to emphasize or de-emphasize certain framework elements depending on your organizational current state, goals and industry.
Thorough, complete discovery and onboarding may be the most important influence on outcomes. A consultative, collaborative process sets the stage for all that follows. Discovery is a great opportunity to be accurate and precise in capturing relevant business objectives, risk factors and security goals—and to clarify your threat landscape and implement the right controls and communications.
