🛡️ Cybersecurity for Business

Reduce Risk, Enable Growth, Prove Control

Security is not a bolt-on—it’s an operating system for the business.
Cybersecurity for Business from SolveForce aligns risk, revenue, and regulation in one program: Zero-Trust access, secure cloud & apps, data protection, threat detection & response, and resilience—all measured against SLOs and backed by evidence you can hand to leadership, customers, and auditors.

🎯 Business Outcomes We Optimize (not just controls)

  • Fewer incidents & faster recovery — measurable drops in phishing, credential misuse, and mean time to containment.
  • Customer & partner trust — clean answers on security questionnaires; third-party evidence always current.
  • Compliance without contortions — SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / NIST / HIPAA / PCI mapped to the build, not stapled on.
  • Predictable cost — controls expressed as SLOs you can tie to budgets and quarterly goals.

Every control in this program is built with two questions in mind: Does it reduce material risk? Can we prove it in under 60 seconds?

🧭 Program Blueprint (five tracks that work together)

1) Access: Who can do what, from where, and with which device?

  • Zero-Trust network access for private apps (no broad VPNs), conditional access for SaaS/web through SASE, and 802.1X NAC on campus ports.
  • Identity hygiene: SSO/MFA everywhere, role & attribute-based access, and Just-in-Time admin via PAM with recording.
    → Start with /ztna • /sase • /nac • /iam • /pam

2) Cloud & Application Assurance

  • Landing zones with org policies (deny public, encryption required), Private Endpoints only for sensitive paths, and workload identity (OIDC/IRSA) to eliminate long-lived keys.
  • Web/API front door hardened with WAF/Bot, schema validation, and signing (JWT/HMAC/JWS); DDoS plans at the edge.
    → See /cloud • /virtual-data-centers • /waf • /ddos

3) Data Protection & Privacy

  • Labels on data (PII/PHI/PAN/CUI); DLP & tokenization for egress; encryption in transit/at rest with HSM/KMS keys and vault-issued secrets.
  • Data contracts & lineage so analytics and AI never go off-road.
    → Explore /data-governance • /dlp • /key-management • /secrets-management

4) Threat Detection & Response

  • Signals from cloud, endpoints, network, WAF, identity, and email converge in SIEM; SOAR executes safe runbooks (isolate, revoke, re-key, roll back, patch).
  • Managed detection on endpoints (MDR/XDR) and deep network analytics (NDR) catch stealthy activity.
    → Dive into /siem-soar • /mdr-xdr • /ndr

5) Resilience & Evidence

  • Immutability for backups (Object-Lock/WORM), DRaaS with rehearsed failovers; drills produce screenshots, checksums, and timings.
  • Evidence exports for audits/QBRs live next to operational dashboards—no swivel-chairing.
    → Build with /backup-immutability • /draas

🔐 Priority Initiatives (first 90–180 days)

1) Email trust & BEC defense — anti-phish + time-of-click; SPF/DKIM/DMARC to p=reject inside 60–90 days; MTA-STS/TLS-RPT; optional BIMI.
→ /email-auth • /email-security

2) Kill standing admin — move to PAM with approvals & session recording; make elevation temporary and auditable; shrink break-glass.
→ /pam

3) Replace flat VPNs — implement ZTNA for internal apps, SASE for web/SaaS; enforce device posture via NAC and EDR.
→ /ztna • /sase • /nac • /mdr-xdr

4) Cloud guardrails — org policies (deny public, CMEK required), Private Endpoints only, workload identity (no static keys), WAF/Bot + API signing, drift detection.
→ /cloud • /key-management • /waf

5) Backups that cannot be encrypted by attackers — enable Object-Lock; publish restore RTO/RPO and prove them monthly.
→ /backup-immutability

6) Evidence pipeline online — logs, changes, approvals, and drill artifacts into SIEM/SOAR with SLO dashboards for the board.
→ /siem-soar

📦 Solution Bundles (assemble to fit your size & sector)

A) Business Guardrails (SMB/scale-up ready)

B) Cloud-First Enterprise

C) Data-Led Organization

D) Ransomware-Ready

E) Regulated Stack (HIPAA / PCI / NIST / FedRAMP-aligned)

  • Control mapping, BAAs/DPAs/AOCs, segmentation of PHI/CDE/CUI, immutable logs, ConMon packages, and assessor-ready exports.
    → /hipaa • /pci-dss • /nist • /fedramp • /grc

Breaches auto-open a case and trigger SOAR (reroute, isolate, re-key, roll back, patch), with approvals and artifact capture. → /siem-soar

🧠 People & Process (the human side that makes it stick)

  • Role-based training with just-in-time nudges (e.g., secret found in PR ⇒ 90-second micro-lesson + auto-rotate steps).
  • Playbooks & rehearsals — tabletop exercises and mini-drills keep teams calm on bad days.
  • Third-party management — AOCs/BAAs/DPAs captured in GRC; vendor email auth & security posture monitored.
    → See /security-training • /grc

🔁 How We Roll It Out (low drama, high signal)

1) Scope & risk — crown-jewel map, frameworks in scope, board-level objectives.
2) Quick wins — email auth to p=reject, kill standing admin, ZTNA for private apps, Object-Lock backups.
3) Rails & guardrails — cloud landing zones, Private Endpoints, WAF/Bot, keys/HSM + vault, DLP labels.
4) Evidence pipeline — SIEM/SOAR wiring; dashboards for SLOs; monthly reports.
5) Pilot & rings — one app/site/BU → expand; rollback plans in place.
6) Operate — QBRs, ConMon packages, cost/risk trendlines; roadmap cadenced in the Knowledge Hub.
→ Each step deep-links to implementation pages (e.g., /cloud, /waf, /ztna).

🧾 Security Intake (copy/paste this and fill it in)

  • Frameworks & deadlines: (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, HIPAA, PCI, FedRAMP)
  • Crown jewels & data labels: (apps, DBs, PHI/PII/PAN/CUI)
  • Identity: IdP/SSO/MFA, admin model, JML automation status
  • Access targets: ZTNA apps, SASE scope, NAC posture
  • Cloud posture: providers/regions, Private Endpoints, workload identity
  • Edges: WAF/Bot/DDoS state, email auth (SPF/DKIM/DMARC/BIMI)
  • Custody: KMS/HSM, vault, rotation cadence
  • Detection & IR: SIEM/SOAR, MDR/XDR, NDR, playbooks
  • Resilience: Object-Lock scope, DR tiers, RTO/RPO targets
  • Ops: managed vs co-managed, change windows, reporting cadence

We’ll return a design-to-operate plan with architecture, SLO-mapped pricing, compliance overlays, and an evidence plan you can reuse in audits and QBRs.
