To deliver the strategic insight and technical cybersecurity expertise they required, CloserStill turned to us, our consultancy and managed services experience was a natural fit. The process began with a security assessment followed by a structured process to evaluate the company’s infrastructure, define risk appetite and build out a business-aligned plan that could guide long-term decision-making.
“We went through everything, from what we had and what was important to how we managed it,” said Center. “The Node4 team then helped us turn that into something we could actually use to drive progress.”
The strategy covered a broad set of priorities, from audit log management and cloud security to user training and business continuity and was developed through a series of collaborative workshops. As part of the process, we helped interpret audit requirements and establish realistic targets for improvement. “The process was vital to frame the right questions and align everyone on the level of risk we were willing to accept,” said Center. “It also gave us something concrete we could share internally and take to the board.”
With the plan in place, CloserStill was able to act quickly on key issues. This included implementing a new SIEM solution built on Microsoft Sentinel and delivered as a managed service, giving the CloserStill team 24/7 monitoring across its global infrastructure without the overhead of building a round-the-clock function in-house.
Drawing further on our support, CloserStill was able to address other priorities, including the implementation of an improved audit log management and tailored training for specific teams. “Things that had previously felt vague or unclear suddenly became very straightforward,” Center added. “Node4 showed us exactly what was needed and how to get it done.”
