What is Cyber Overwatch?  

CohnReznick’s Cyber Overwatch is a suite of services designed to bridge the gap between leadership teams and the IT function. Many executives rely on internal IT teams or managed service providers (MSPs) to protect their organization yet often lack visibility into whether risks are properly addressed and expectations are being met. This lack of clarity – combined with the highly technical nature of IT and cybersecurity operations – can make it difficult to validate processes, controls, and reporting. As a result, organizations may face cybersecurity gaps that attackers can exploit or compliance failures that put them at risk.

Cyber Overwatch addresses these challenges by providing ongoing, independent analysis of IT and cybersecurity activities. We deliver clear, actionable insights that empower leadership to recognize vulnerabilities, hold teams accountable, and make informed decisions about risk management and resource allocation. By offering transparency and oversight, Cyber Overwatch helps organizations strengthen accountability and continuously improve their IT and cybersecurity posture.

Why Cyber Overwatch matters

With Cyber Overwatch, business leaders gain the confidence that their cybersecurity posture is being independently validated – enabling transparency, accountability, and alignment with organizational goals.  It is ideal for organizations that:  

Want to manage IT and cyber risks more effectively but lack independent reporting between management and IT functions.  
Rely on internal IT teams or MSPs and need unbiased validation of their cybersecurity efforts.
Seek clarity on roles, responsibilities, and service expectations within their IT and cybersecurity operations.  
Value regular, easy-to-understand reporting that supports strategic planning and continuous improvement.
