These solutions can be in several forms:

Regulatory Environments - Arrakis personnel are masters of all regulatory environments. We have addressed all the major environments that can result in fines or penalties, such as CMMC, GDPR, PCI, HIPAA, FFIEC, and CCPA.

3rd-party audits and assessments - All major frameworks require a 3rd-party assessment of vulnerability and risk, or a 3rd-party audit of your information systems. Arrakis can be your trusted advisor, providing an unbiased, honest assessment of where you feel weak or where a regulatory agency may target you. Don't be caught short in high-risk compliance areas like GDPR, CMMC, CCPA, FFIEC, FISMA, etc  Read our one-pager on Internal Audit here.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) - ERM should be implemented across all lines of business within a company.  It's all too common for a company to consider only cybersecurity risk, rather than all possible risks to the company (thus, Enterprise Risk).  Arrakis can help implement an Enterprise Risk program across your entire company with our certified and seasoned professionals.  Arrakis recommends ISO27005 as a risk framework if your company is ISO27001 compliant, or ISO31000 for other frameworks, and to consider NIST RMF if doing business with the USGOV.  BIAs and DR\BC are also included when Arrakis helps implement ERM.  Read our one-pager on ERM here.

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) - As a matter of good practice, a BIA should be done at least yearly to ensure that you completely understand the level of impact to your business should any portion of your business process fail. How long can you stay down without a major incident? How long can you stay down before your customers decide to move to another solutions provider? Knowing the impact, both qualitative and quantitative, on your business is vital. Arrakis can help you realize exactly what your impact is.  Read our one-pager on BIA here.  BIAs are also a key component of Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity as well as Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Arrakis recommends ISO27005 if your company is aligned with ISO27001 and ISO31000, and to consider other cybersecurity frameworks, as well as the NIST RMF, if your company is USA-based or does anything with the US Government.  Read our one-pager on DR\BC here and our ERM one-pager here.

Gap Analysis - regardless of the framework you are required to follow, there is always something that needs to be reviewed to identify your gaps or weaknesses, so you have targeted, actionable items to focus your remediation or improvement efforts. Don't be caught short in high-risk compliance areas like CMMC, GDPR, CCPA, FFIEC, FISMA, NIST, etc.

Framework implementation, consultation, or support: All companies that process regulated data must comply with a security framework. Whether it be NIST 800.53, CMMC, NIST 800.171, ISO 27001, FFIEC, PCI, HIPAA, etc, we can help implement or provide consultation services to make your current implementation easier. Additionally, in several situations, companies must comply with multiple frameworks or create a hybrid framework to reduce regulatory risk for the company and its executives. Arrakis can help guide you from confusion to a clear outcome.

vCISO/CISO as a service - Some companies simply do not have the budget, experience, or training to have a CISO or an information security department. While all frameworks require a security department and a CISO, it simply isn't in the budget, or there isn't enough technical work to justify hiring the appropriate personnel. Arrakis can help you act as a trusted advisor to the CIO or COO in your company and, in effect, perform CISO functions. Technically, according to the frameworks, someone in the company still must hold the title of CISO; however, none of the frameworks indicate that the actual "work" cannot be outsourced to a reputable 3rd party. Don't be caught short in high-risk compliance areas like GDPR, CMMC, CCPA, FFIEC, FISMA, etc...

vCIO/CIO as a service - Similar to the CISO as a service bullet item, some companies are more focused on building their business and increasing their profit margin, and just don't have the time or experience to perform CIO functions. They have a strategy, but cannot execute. Arrakis can help be the IT glue that binds all the technological functions into a cohesive package to fill this gap. The professionals at Arrakis have, on average, over 20 years of experience in all aspects of IT, including managerial functions such as budgeting, project management, and process improvement.

Governance, Risk, and Compliance - Regardless of what framework your company is required to follow or the level of maturity, all companies bear some risk because they are in business. Our GRC team can help your company stay in compliance with regulations, assess and track risks, and provide an easy-to-follow governance model to ensure your company operates in a stable manner that keeps auditors happy. Don't be caught short in high-risk compliance areas like CMMC, GDPR, CCPA, FFIEC, FISMA, HIPAA, PCI, etc  Read our one-pager on Internal Audit here as well as our GRC one-pager here.

Policy Creation and Review - Quite often, companies have some form of policies in place. Still, most of the time, those policies do not meet auditors' requirements or the company's frameworks. While the company intends to be compliant, the deficient policies do not help and only draw closer the attention of auditors. Arrakis has years of experience writing policy and can help bring you up to speed on the frameworks and improve your success rate when it is time to be audited. 
- For a flat fee of $25K, Arrakis offers a custom set of policies to meet your regulatory environment.  These policies are designed to pass audits while remaining realistic for your company. They are written and reviewed by certified, experienced individuals who have gone toe-to-toe with auditors, regulators, and investigators.  Additionally, as part of this package, we'll provide high-level procedures that will generally apply across all company environments.  We also offer a policy update subscription for our policy customers, which lets us review and update the policies you purchased from us.  For further details, please reach out to sales(@)arrakisconsulting.com.  Read our one-pager on Policy Creation here.
