Risk Management
Strengthening Cyber Risk Management Beyond the Perimeter
In today’s hyperconnected world, many organisations overlook the cyber risks that lie beyond their own networks. While internal systems are secured, external digital connections and third-party exposures often remain vulnerable.
At Ensign, our in-depth cyber threat research uncovered a worrying trend — countless organisations were unaware of leaked user credentials and unprepared to respond to potential breaches. We also found widespread gaps in security enforcement and visibility across interconnected ecosystems.
Our holistic cyber risk management approach empowers organisations to gain deeper visibility, enforce stronger security controls, and proactively manage threats across their extended digital environment.
What does Ensign offer?
3rd Party Supply Chain
Organisations must recognise and address the cyber risks posed by partners, vendors, and suppliers. To mitigate these risks, they should implement third-party risk assessment and monitoring, leverage advanced cybersecurity solutions, establish incident response playbooks, and maintain good cyber hygiene practices. This multi-layered approach enhances visibility, detects threats, and ensures effective incident resolution and prevention.
Attack Surface Management
In the pursuit of resilience and customer-centricity, organisations are expanding their cyber supply chains and inadvertently increasing their digital attack surface. This expansion exposes them to elevated cyber risk exposures. At Ensign, our Attack Surface Management services help organisations effectively manage and mitigate these risks by providing comprehensive visibility, proactive threat detection, and robust security measures.
Enterprise Governance Risk and Compliance
Ensign's Qualified Security Assessors (QSA) assist clients in achieving PCI DSS compliance, protecting cardholder data across processing, storage, and transmission. We guide clients in maintaining compliance with evolving regulations. Our expertise includes identifying information security gaps against ISO 27001:2013 standards. Our certified IT auditors provide Internal Audit-as-a-Service (IAaaS) for neutral assessments. We offer a comprehensive view of risk elements in emerging technologies, leveraging threat-informed approaches like the MITRE ATT&CK framework for risk identification and analysis.
Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)
Proactive cyber exposure reduction through continuous validation organisations face a fast-evolving threat landscape where static, compliance-driven assessments leave gaps and blind spots exposed to attackers. CTEM delivers a continuous, business-driven approach that validates defences in real time, integrates with existing security tools, and prioritises risks based on business impact. Supported by Ensign’s ITSM/ITSO-as-a-Service, CTEM not only identifies exposures but ensures they are remediated or managed, closing the loop from discovery to resolution and elevating cyber resilience.
Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS)
Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) turning assumptions into assurance security controls often fail silently due to misconfigurations, integration gaps, or evolving attack techniques. BAS continuously and safely emulates real-world attack scenarios to validate defences, uncover blind spots, and prioritise actionable risks. Ensign’s BAS service enhances this with tailored simulations, expert remediation guidance, and managed integration, giving organisations measurable assurance that their security investments truly protect against evolving threats.
