What did the client expect?
ZOZ Brodnica was seeking consultants to conduct an audit of their information system’s security. The audit needed to be performed in compliance with the provisions of the National Cybersecurity System Act (KSC). The client required that the project be executed dynamically, while maintaining operational continuity and not disrupting the ongoing activities of the organization. Therefore, they needed the support of an experienced external company that had already completed similar projects. The choice fell on PBSG. Our offer was selected due to, among other factors, numerous references and a scope of work tailored to the organization’s specific needs.
The selection process was based on public procurement rules and was preceded by extensive consultations and an analysis of the consulting market in Poland. The project was completed in 2023.
What did we do?
WE ADJUSTED THE SCHEDULE
We tailored the scope of work and the schedule to the specifics of the organization. The entire project was divided into logical steps that, on one hand, ensured efficient and fast execution, and on the other, did not disrupt the ongoing operations of the unit.
WE ANALYZED THE CURRENT STATE
First, we took a close look at the current state of the organization in terms of information security. We conducted an analysis that allowed us to identify the systems and infrastructure necessary for the uninterrupted provision of the critical service.
WE CONDUCTED THE AUDIT
After reviewing the organization’s resources to ensure compliance with the organizational and technical requirements of the critical service operator, we provided recommendations for updating the documentation and optimizing security tools.
WE PREPARED THE DOCUMENTATION
After the recommendations were approved, we focused on updating, completing, and optimizing the documentation. As a result, the client gained formal and procedural support to help ensure the proper level of information system security.
What were the results?
The task was to align the organization with the requirements of the KSC Act in accordance with the standards adopted by the organization, along with the preparation of documentation. The service was delivered in line with the established schedule and plan.
We efficiently built the organizational and technical capabilities required by the regulation to ensure the proper level of information security for the information system. The entire work was focused on ensuring the security of processed information at the group level and raising the level of cybersecurity throughout the organization.
