Enterprise Security Baseline Implementation

Develop and implement security baselines across diverse IT environments (on-premises, cloud, OT) to establish consistent security controls and improve overall security posture.

• •Development of tiered security baselines aligned with CIS Controls and NIST guidelines
• •Asset classification to determine appropriate baseline requirements
• •Technical security configuration standards for all platforms (Windows, Linux, cloud, network devices)
• •Automated compliance checking implementation
• •Exception management process development
• •Phased implementation approach with pilot deployments
• •Security baseline training for IT and security teams

• •Established security baselines for 15+ technology platforms
• •Improved baseline compliance from 65% to 92% across all systems
• •Reduced critical vulnerabilities by 78% through consistent baseline implementation
• •Implemented automated compliance checking for 85% of infrastructure
• •Reduced security incidents related to misconfigurations by 60%
• •Created sustainable process for baseline updates and exception management
• •Successfully integrated OT security requirements into baseline framework

• •Early stakeholder engagement is critical for successful GRC initiatives to ensure buy-in and alignment with business objectives.
• •A risk-based approach allows for more efficient resource allocation and prioritization of activities.
• •Regular communication of progress and value helps maintain executive support and program momentum.
• •Integration with existing business processes is essential for sustainable GRC programs.
• •Measuring and demonstrating value through metrics and KPIs is crucial for long-term program success.
