Becoming compliant depends on the type of Cybersecurity Standard that an organisation is aiming to become compliant with & a number of other factors such as size of the organisation, current Security Posture, presence of an Information Security Team as well as the driving factors such as Client expectations & regulatory requirements.
To become compliant with the ISO 27001 Standard an organisation may take up to four (4) months.
To become compliant  with SOC 2 requirements, it may take up to five (5) months.

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing [VAPT] is an essential process for an organisation that wants to ensure the security & reliability of its IT Assets & Infrastructure. VAPT helps identify vulnerabilities & weaknesses in the Network, Applications & Systems that can be exploited by cybercriminals or hackers. It provides an in-depth analysis of the Security Posture of an organisation's IT Assets and Infrastructure and helps to address & remediate any weaknesses before they can be exploited. VAPT helps organisations to comply with regulatory requirements & industry standards, gain customer trust & maintain a competitive advantage. It also helps to reduce the risk of data breaches, financial loss & reputational damage. Neumetric offers VAPT Solutions for all your critical IT Assets such as Web Application, Mobile App (Android and iOS), Cloud Environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), APIs and much more!

A thumb rule is that between 5 to 10% should be allocated for Security. This allows the CISO to build up a combination of good quality security measures that will adequately protect the organisation from threats. 

Security is somewhat expensive because it requires in-depth expertise of a fast-changing domain where knowledge & sharp skills of the Security Experts needs constant upgradation. 

A well-protected organisation is able to gain the trust of its Stakeholders, which in turn helps increase revenue as well.
The overall high cost of security is easily offset through additional revenue that gets generated due to higher conversion rate of business prospects to paying clients & customers.

Yes, to become ISO 27001 certified, an Organisation needs to undergo an External Audit. This Audit is carried out by an independent Certifying Body to assess whether the organisation's Information Security Management System [ISMS] meets the requirements of the ISO 27001 Standard. 

The External Audit is a crucial step in the Certification process, as it verifies that the organisation has implemented an ISMS & meets the Standard's requirements & that the ISMS is operating effectively. Without the External Audit, an Organisation CANNOT obtain ISO 27001 Certification. 

Neumetric conducts regular Gap Assessments for the Organisation based on the chosen Standard or Framework. Internal Audits are conducted to confirm the closure of  gaps, implementation of necessary security processes & adherence to the cybersecurity Standard. Once verified internally, an External Audit is scheduled with a reputed Certifying Body. Once the External Auditors are satisfied with the level of compliance, a Certificate or Report is issued for the organisation. The External Audit is handled by Neumetric’s Team of Security Experts who are experienced in managing such Audits for various Standards.  Relevant training and coaching is provided to the Stakeholders to face the External Auditors.

Any organisation, regardless of its size, industry or location, can apply for ISO 27001 Certification if it wants to demonstrate to its stakeholders & customers that it has a robust and effective Information Security Management System [ISMS]. The Certification is not specific to any particular industry or sector & it can be applied to both private and public sector organisations. 

ISO 27001 Certification is particularly relevant for organisations that handle sensitive, personal or confidential information. SaaS Providers, Financial institutions, Healthcare Providers, Government Agencies & IT Companies can choose to get themselves ISO 27001 certified. Any organisation that values the security & confidentiality of its information can benefit from implementing and obtaining ISO 27001 Certification.

Managed Security usually means that the entire InfoSec function is outsourced to Neumetric while the organisation can focus on its core objectives & metrics.
