Cybersecurity Program Development
Valor provides access to a cadre of experts focused on developing a best-in-class cybersecurity program, specific to your operations and goals. Our team of industry-specific experts will help drive and guide your information security initiatives.

Program Development
Coordinating, funding and continually updating a cybersecurity program takes a team of experts in a variety of competency areas. With the industry skills gap and common business constraints, it isn’t practical for every organization to hire a team. Valor partners with leaders to bring the collective expertise of our team to solve your most challenging cybersecurity risks.
Our Approach
Our advisory approach is built based on industry-recognized security frameworks, including the NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, CIS Top 18, and PCI DSS. We leverage years of experience to ensure you are continually maturing your digital risk posture.

Phase 3: Plan Socialization and Testing
In the final phase, our team communicates the details of the developed plan(s) with all key stakeholders and ensure there is a clear understanding of procedures, roles and responsibilities.
During this phase, we strive to maximize the use of insights gathered from stakeholders interviews to infuse their expertise into on the developed plan and ensure that the new plan aligns with current operations and company goals.
- Alignment across cybersecurity priorities, organizational objectives and policies.
