Active Assure

How effective are your cybersecurity defences?

Change is constant. As your business continues to evolve, changes in enabling technologies will impact your threat profile. Therefore, your supporting security program must be equipped to evolve and adapt with your business and other emerging technologies. Continuous testing of your cybersecurity defences provides peace of mind knowing the controls and process flows are working as designed and as expected.

BDO’s Active Assure program provides confidence through cyber simulations that test your security posture and quickly identify areas for improvement and remediation. The goal of the program is to provide you with continued strength and confidence in your security systems.

The value of continuous testing and remediation

Introducing new business services, enabling new technologies, and integrating third-party tools can contribute to an ever-changing threat profile. It is imperative that cyber defences and controls are continuously adapting with evolving business environments to remain effective. BDO's Active Assure solution keeps your security program current and relevant through continued confirmation, while removing the risk of a false sense of security.
