DevOps can be thought of as a philosophy, set of practices, and tooling to increase the speed (or velocity) with which an organization delivers software applications and services, frequently referred to as CI/CD or Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment. SecOps applies DevOps concepts to information security. This means that Castlerock can build or improve your:

• Build and Deployment Pipelines
  • Software build and deployment
  • Database change/migration
  • Infrastructure change and delivery
• Infosec Operations
  • Automation of policies and procedures
  • End-point protection

Compliance comes in two common forms: regulations an organization must comply with to stay in business due to government, or customer requirements; and regulations an organization chooses to comply with as a business enabler or to demonstrate capability.

Whichever the case, the Castlerock team can help you prepare for these regulations before the auditor arrives. Beyond the regulations, we can help you improve your processes and help make compliance a driver for you rather than a headache. Specifically, we can provide:

• Security review and remediation
• Policies and Procedures updates, review, and preparation for recovery and continuity operations
• Audit preparation, including evidence gathering
• Compliance framework preparation, such as
  • Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk (STAR) Self Assessment
  • SOC2
  • HIPAA
  • NIST SP-800
  • FERPA
• Security questionnaire compliance and management
• Breach detection and recovery support
• Managed desktop exercises/game days
• External penetration testing
• Shadow IT detection and integration / remediation

We also serve as many clients’ external information security team, on retainer.

Cloud spend seems to keep increasing, even as providers keep dropping per instance costs. Our team can help you identify where your largest costs are, identify areas to change or reduce that spend, and identify lower cost options for similar services. We can do this by:

• Reviewing cloud spend and optimizing where possible
• Reviewing reserved instances and savings plan
