Lookout below- a sampling of 'business treasures' we helped preserve and protect

Cybersecurity Compliance Assessment

Private Equity firm, who is also a registered Investment Adviser; we examined their organizational environment (people, process, and technology) and analyzed the overall security and compliance effectiveness in light of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission, Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE) Cybersecurity Examinations Initiative.

The cybersecurity compliance assessment was paired with network penetration/vulnerability assessments and a social engineering security testing project - designed to assess the organization’s ability to protect customer data/information conformance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's cybersecurity preparedness expectations for securities investment companies.

e-Discovery IN-HOUSE Process

The Financial Services firm is also a registered Investment Adviser; we were tasked to develop an in-house document request (3rd-party requests, investigations, litigation, arbitration) response program. They wanted to bring all their document management from request and preservation through review and delivery... and keep all of it behind their corporate firewall.

We gathered information on the company's current policies, processes, and tools, their requirements, and the personnel currently managing the existing workflow. We then developed and implemented a discovery protocol that leveraged the appropriate people and standards, processes, documentation, communication, and technologies to provide a manageable, scalable, repeatable, and defensible protocol.

Compliance Certification

Cloud-based Product Road-mapping firm engaged us to provide ISO 27001 compliance certification readiness services. The engagement objective was to put adequate and proportionate security controls in place to ensure customer data protection and protect sensitive company information/data to comply with data protection laws and gain customer confidence.

The result was a favorable ISO 27001 audit compliance report, seal, and certificate of audit examination and compliance with the ISO 27001 guidelines. In fact, Vigilant Systems has a 100% pass rate for all our ISO 27001 audit certifications, SOC 2 attestations, and HIPAA compliance engagements.


As part of our acquisition Third Party Advisory Team, Vigilant Systems was invaluable monitoring, analyzing, dissecting, and reporting on valuable social media sentiment for our acquisition.
