Client Overview

Our client is a well-established interior design company known for its innovative and aesthetic designs. With a growing portfolio and a diverse clientele, the company recognizes the importance of safeguarding its digital assets and sensitive client information. To enhance their cybersecurity posture, they engaged our services for ongoing vulnerability management.

​

Objective

The primary objective of our engagement was to implement a comprehensive vulnerability management program on a quarterly basis. This program aimed to identify, assess, and remediate vulnerabilities within the company's IT infrastructure, ensuring a secure environment for their operations.

 

Methodology

We adopted a structured approach to vulnerability management, which included:

1. Vulnerability Scanning: Conducting regular scans of the company’s systems and applications to identify vulnerabilities.

2. Risk Assessment: Evaluating the severity and potential impact of identified vulnerabilities based on industry standards.

3. Remediation Planning: Collaborating with the client’s IT team to prioritize and implement remediation efforts.

4. Reporting and Metrics: Providing detailed reports on vulnerability trends, remediation progress, and overall security posture.

Quarterly Assessments

Over the course of our engagement, we performed quarterly vulnerability assessments, allowing us to track the company’s security posture consistently. Each quarter, we collected data on:

• Total Vulnerabilities Identified: The number of vulnerabilities detected during each assessment.

• Vulnerabilities Remediated: The number of vulnerabilities that were successfully resolved by the client’s IT team.

• Remaining Vulnerabilities: The number of vulnerabilities that remained unresolved at the end of each quarter.

• Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR): The average time taken to remediate vulnerabilities, categorized by severity levels: critical, high, medium, and low.

• ​

Annual Metrics and Reporting

At the end of the year, we compiled an annual report that highlighted the key metrics and trends observed over the four quarterly assessments:

1. Vulnerability Trends:

   • Total Vulnerabilities Identified: 120

   • Vulnerabilities Remediated: 90

   • Remaining Vulnerabilities: 30

   • Reduction in Vulnerabilities: 25% decrease from the previous year.

1. Mean Time to Remediation:

   • Critical Vulnerities: 10 days

   • High Vulnerabilities: 15 days

   • Medium Vulnerabilities: 25 days

   • Low Vulnerabilities: 30 days

1. Overall Security Posture: The annual report demonstrated a significant improvement in the company’s security posture, with a notable reduction in the number of vulnerabilities and an overall decrease in the mean time to remediation across all severity levels.

2. ​

Ongoing Assessment

We are continuing to perform vulnerability management assessments for the interior design company on a quarterly basis. Our ongoing collaboration ensures that the company remains vigilant against emerging threats and maintains a proactive approach to cybersecurity.
