IT Vital System Security Reviews

What You Need to Know to Protect Your Vital Business Systems

IT Vital System Security ReviewsHow much money, time, and credibility would your organization lose—per hour—if your network was compromised or suddenly went down?

While you and your IT professionals may think your network is secure... is it worth the risk of not knowing for sure?

Don't forget to factor in the "intangibles" lost in the event you have to notify your customers or employees of a security breach, and tell them that their private data has been released to identity thieves.

Normally, you rely on your IT professionals to keep your network safe. Unfortunately, IT is such a big world these days, your IT professionals may not be aware of new security threats and IT best practices to keep your network safe, which could cost you millions.

Today there are many threats to IT Security including:


Vital Systems Review Specialist Mike Foster has discovered that 90% of companies he reviews have at least one major security bleeding artery they weren't even aware of before the review. Often, those were the companies where the IT professionals stressed that no vulnerabilities would be found.

What sets The Foster Institute's IT Vital Systems Security Review apart from other organizations performing reviews is very simple. Other security firms tend to perform a vulnerability assessment or penetration test and then send a long list of what they found. While that is useful, it doesn't help your IT professionals learn and grow as much as it could in their ability to keep you and your company safe. The Foster Institute stays with your organization and helps your IT professionals take the steps to protect your network now and in the future.

The Foster Institute, Inc. security assessments include 12 months of access to Mike Foster, CISA, CISSP - a trained security specialist and published author with 20 years of experience who has the ability to communicate effectively with IT professionals as well as top level executives. Mike spends time with your IT team, mentoring them and answering the questions they've always had about IT security strategies. It's a lot like them getting their own personalized IT security course.

Known as "America's Vital Systems Security Expert," Mike specializes in helping organizations like yours, keep their vital business systems safe through his executive-level and IT security briefings, presentations, and consultations.

Questions to ask yourself are:

  1. How would your top 3 customers react if you could not serve them as normal for a few days because you were hacked and the computer network stops working?
  2. How much revenue would you lose if one of these top 3 found another supplier?
  3. How would this affect internal morale, confidence and your sales people?
  4. How long would it take (and at how much cost) to replace one of your major customers?
  5. What will be the consequences if there is a security breach and you release confidential information to competitors, identity thieves, etc?
  6. If we get the accounting audited every year, and we are so dependent upon our IT system, shouldn't we have the IT security reviewed at least once a year by an independent third party?

Physical Security Audit—option

While keeping your network secure is important, keeping your business physically safe is just as vital. A Physical Security Audit from The Foster Institute can be performed in addition to your IT Vital System Security Review by an actively working law enforcement professional.
