What knowledge, expertise, and qualifications are needed to meet information security and privacy protection requirements?

1. Legal expertise: to ensure compliance, it is necessary to know all the relevant regulations as they apply to various business activities, including knowledge about compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, POPIA, TISAX, and Israel’s Privacy Protection Regulations. Moreover, it is essential to stay current on recent changes and updates, as well as relevant judicial rulings and enforcement decisions.
2. Organizational and methodological expertise: this includes the know-how of implementing regulatory requirements in an organization and establishing internal control and enforcement mechanisms.
3. Technical expertise: many information security requirements require hands-on technical skills. This includes installing and maintaining security tools, conducting physical and logical tests and audits, performing routine monitoring tasks, and more.
4. Presentation skills: a good CISO must be able to present the topic of information security to the organization’s senior management, employees, clients, and stakeholders, acting as an ambassador and communicating complex ideas with clarity.

People who are fully proficient in all four areas are very hard to find. To add to the challenge, the law rightly prohibits companies from appointing the IT manager or the CIO to the role of CISO due to potential conflicts of interest.

Hiring an in-house employee to perform ongoing maintenance tasks is often impractical and unfeasible for small and medium-sized businesses. While the volume of work may be pretty significant, it does not justify full-time employment and only requires attendance for a few days each month.

Hermeticon’s customizable CISO-as-a-service offering is the ideal solution for managing your company’s information security systems, including cybersecurity and compliance with laws and regulations.

What regulation means for organizations:

Hermeticon’s CISO-as-a-service offering means you will work with experts well-versed in every technical and administrative aspect of the Israeli Privacy Protection Regulations, the GDPR, HIPAA, and other international regulations.

With Hermeticon’s CISO as a service offering, you get the following:

1. Ongoing support from an outsourced CISO service team that meets the legal requirement for appointing a CISO/Information Security Supervisor (where such legal conditions apply): to manage your company’s information security and privacy protection. The service is modular, which means we can adapt it to your company’s needs, save costs for your business, optimize results and maximize value for money. All this is possible thanks to the combined knowledge of our diverse team of experts.
2. Procedure writing and implementation: we will write all the information security procedures your company requires and support you throughout the implementation process. Our writing service considers your company’s unique needs and field of business.
3. Organizational control and monitoring routines: once the new procedures and guidelines are in place, it is essential to ensure they are implemented correctly and serve the organization effectively, per its needs and resources. Based on your information security needs, Hermeticon’s information security managers will design control routines that your company has to follow to remain in compliance. Covering both physical and logical security, these controls are designed to ensure your customers’ privacy remains protected as you carry out your day-to-day operations.
4. Managing control and monitoring routines: as part of our service, we will designate an information-security professional to manage and oversee all information-security processes in your company, including server control and monitoring processes. This supervisor will oversee all testing and supervise the personnel responsible for the control and monitoring tasks. The designated supervisor will also document all processes, manage schedules and take care of all the organizational aspects of information security without disrupting your day-to-day operations.
5. Risk surveys and information security audits: our information security supervisors, cybersecurity experts, and legal advisors will identify any regulatory and legal compliance gaps in your company. We will conduct detailed assessments of your data and organizational assets, including all your systems and infrastructure.
6. Tailor-made solutions that meet your needs and eliminate compliance gaps: based on the findings of our assessments, we will provide you with the right solutions for your company, adapt them to meet your needs, and support you throughout the process of eliminating all compliance gaps.
7. Training for your employees: our experts will create a training program and conduct the training sessions for your company. We can provide training on various topics related to information security and privacy protection regulations and internal procedures. Our training programs include documentation and progress tracking to ensure all your employees are informed of their duties in a timely, organized manner.
8. Managing IT suppliers and procurement: privacy protection regulations include requirements related to working with third-party suppliers and service providers. To help you comply with section 15 of the Data Protection Regulations and/or section 28 of the GDPR, we will use our knowledge of your broad organizational and technological context to characterize the type of engagement you require, carry out and document due diligence checks, and provide suppliers with a document that lists their obligations toward your company in matters concerning data processing.
9. Annual/periodic supplier audits: since the regulations require ongoing supervision of all third-party supplier operations, we will conduct annual supplier audits of all third-party suppliers with access to your organization’s data, checking their compliance with the applicable laws and the terms and conditions of their contracts with you.
10. Information security incident management: the current regulations outline how organizations must manage information security incidents. This includes detection, management, aftermath, documentation, conclusions, and reporting. Organizations need to be able to address the technological, legal, and organizational aspects of incident management. We will provide professional infrastructure to ensure all the requirements are met.
11. Privacy protection document maintenance: the regulations require periodic updating of your organization’s information security documents. This includes all procedures, database setup documents, and a map of your data storage systems. The manager we assign to this project will inspect all your existing documents and make simple, actionable recommendations regarding their maintenance.
12. Annual security meetings: organizations bound by privacy protection regulations must hold an annual (or, in some cases, quarterly) meeting to discuss information security. The meeting must cover all topics pertinent to compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our designated information security manager will ensure the meetings are held and documented and prepare topics for discussion.
13. International standard certification and maintenance management: we specialize in intra-organizational standardization and have supported many clients through ISO certification processes (including but not limited to ISO 27001, ISO 27799, ISO 27107, and ISO 27018). Our support plans can also include compliance maintenance in preparation for the annual audit. All services are personalized to suit your needs.
