Digital Security Services Ltd. (DSS) offers a suite of services designed to help organisations not only meet but exceed the requirements of regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, ISO standards (like ISO 27001 for information security management), DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act), and others. Here’s a breakdown of how DSS’s specific services contribute to compliance against these regulations:
1. Threat Radar Mapping
Compliance Contribution: This service helps organisations identify and prioritise threats and vulnerabilities which is a key component of risk assessment required by GDPR, ISO 27001, and DORA. Regular updates and reviews of the threat landscape ensure that security measures are aligned with current threats, helping to maintain compliance over time.
Regulatory Fit: Regular risk assessments are mandated by GDPR (Article 35), ISO 27001 (A.12.6.1), and DORA’s requirements for continuous resilience testing and threat led penetration testing.
2. Daily Cyber Operations Control
Compliance Contribution: These operations include daily monitoring and reporting which support compliance with the GDPR’s requirement for ongoing data protection and quick breach detection. For ISO 27001, this addresses the monitoring and measurement of the information security management system (ISMS).
Regulatory Fit: DORA emphasizes the need for robust operational resilience, which this service directly supports by ensuring continuous oversight and rapid response capabilities.
3. Enhanced Detection and Monitoring Capabilities
Compliance Contribution: Enhancing detection capabilities ensures that organisations can respond to security breaches more swiftly, a direct requirement of GDPR for breach notification (Article 33) and a critical aspect of ISO 27001’s incident management (A.16).
Regulatory Fit: DORA requires firms to effectively detect, respond to, and recover from ICT-related disruptions and threats, which these capabilities support.
4. Executive and Board-Level Reporting and Engagement
Compliance Contribution: Regular and clear reporting to the executive team and board ensures that all levels of the organisation are informed about cybersecurity status and efforts, aligning with GDPR’s accountability principle (Article 5(2)) and ISO 27001’s management review (Clause 9.3).
Regulatory Fit: DORA requires key stakeholders to understand and manage the ICT risks to their services, which is supported by this service.
5. Custom Compliance Solutions
Compliance Contribution: DSS tailors compliance solutions to specific regulations like GDPR, ISO standards, or sector-specific regulations like HIPAA for healthcare in the US, ensuring that all compliance needs are met comprehensively.
Regulatory Fit: Provides documentation, policy development, and implementation strategies that are essential for demonstrating compliance with various regulatory frameworks.
6. Incident Management and Response
Compliance Contribution: This service ensures that in the event of a security breach, there are predefined processes for response and communication, crucial for meeting GDPR’s breach notification timelines and for maintaining the integrity and availability of information as required by ISO 27001.
Regulatory Fit: DORA emphasises the need for a managed response to ICT disruptions, which is supported by robust incident management practices.
7. Security Incident Management Training
Compliance Contribution: Training provided to manage incidents effectively helps fulfill both GDPR and ISO requirements regarding staff awareness and competence in handling personal data and security incidents.
Regulatory Fit: Enhances the organisation's resilience capabilities as recommended by DORA.
By integrating these services, DSS not only ensures that organisations can meet the specific compliance requirements of these regulations but also supports a culture of continuous compliance and improvement. This approach reduces the risk of non-compliance and the potential for significant penalties, while also enhancing the overall security and resilience of the organisation.
