Core solutions
Strategy is entity-specific, mission-specific, and culture-specific. Almost all of our work for public agency clients includes strategy development, which considers their risk appetite, culture and governance structure, operating model, resource limitations, technical environment, regulatory obligations, and mission and objectives.
We help clients through their consideration of the various cybersecurity frameworks and standards (e.g., CMMC, GDPR, NIST, HIPAA) based on factors such as the nature and objectives of their security program, contracts, key regulations, and service commitments.
With our background in enterprise risk management (ERM), we guide client management teams through the process of developing their risk register and level-setting those risks using enterprise impact parameters.
Every public sector engagement includes reviewing policies, procedures, and standards and recommending updates or improvements – or, in some cases, redeveloping a full policy portfolio from the outset.
From cyber forensic investigations using our Digital Forensics Lab (Opens a new window) to providing expert testimony in court cases, we bring a unique and practical perspective to supporting clients who have experienced an incident or want to develop plans before an incident happens.
Because CohnReznick is a technology-neutral consulting firm, we bring strict independence into our technology assessments and recommendations. We see and know many security tools and solutions in the marketplace and are free to help clients select those that are right for their unique needs.
