Cyber Strategy & Roadmap
A solid cybersecurity program begins with a well-defined strategy and plan. WaveStrong’s Cyber Strategy & Roadmap service works with your leadership to define a clear vision for security and a structured plan to achieve it. We assess your current posture and risks, then create a multi-year roadmap of security initiatives prioritized by risk reduction and business impact.
The roadmap addresses critical domains (governance, architecture, operations, etc.) with timelines and milestones to track progress. This ensures your cybersecurity investments are strategic and coherent, elevating your security maturity over time to counter evolving threats and meet compliance obligations.
CMMC
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the Department of Defense’s security standard to gauge contractors’ cyber readiness. WaveStrong’s CMMC advisory service guides defense contractors through the entire certification process.
We begin with a thorough gap assessment to evaluate your current practices against the required CMMC level, identifying any shortfalls. Our experts then help implement and document the needed controls across all CMMC domains (access control, incident response, configuration management, and more) to reach compliance.
Finally, we assist with readiness for the official CMMC audit by a C3PAO, addressing any last-minute issues. With WaveStrong’s support, you can achieve the required CMMC certification efficiently and maintain eligibility for valuable DoD contracts.
Mergers & Acquisitions
In mergers and acquisitions, unseen cyber risks can undermine the value of a deal. WaveStrong’s M&A cybersecurity due diligence service evaluates the security posture of acquisition targets to uncover any red flags before the transaction. We assess the target company’s networks, systems, policies, and breach history to identify vulnerabilities or liabilities that could impact the merger.
Our findings inform your decision-making and negotiations—allowing you to demand remediation or adjust valuation based on cyber risk. Post-acquisition, we help integrate the IT and security environments, closing gaps and harmonizing controls between the merged entities. By managing cyber risks throughout the M&A process, we protect your investment and ensure a smoother, more secure integration.
Security Operations
Optimizing security operations is key to improving your defensive capabilities. WaveStrong’s Security Operations advisory helps you elevate your Security Operations Center (SOC) and incident response processes to handle modern threats.
We review your current operations – tools, team structure, playbooks, and metrics – and identify improvements such as better use of SIEM/SOAR technology, refined incident workflows, or enhanced threat intelligence integration.
Our experts assist in designing 24/7 monitoring capabilities and conducting incident response drills to improve readiness. The outcome is a more efficient and robust security operation that can keep pace with a dynamic threat landscape and reduce the impact of security incidents.
HITRUST
HITRUST CSF certification is a gold standard for healthcare data security and compliance. WaveStrong’s HITRUST consulting service accelerates your journey to certification by providing expert guidance at every step.
We begin by mapping your existing controls and policies to the HITRUST CSF requirements and performing a readiness assessment to identify gaps. Next, we assist in remediating those gaps – implementing missing controls, improving documentation, and training staff on required procedures.
We also help compile the necessary evidence and work with authorized assessors during the validation process. By partnering with WaveStrong, healthcare organizations can achieve HITRUST certification more efficiently and demonstrate to stakeholders that they meet stringent security and privacy standards.
SecOps Maturity
Understanding and improving your security operations maturity can greatly enhance your cyber defense. WaveStrong’s SecOps Maturity assessment evaluates how well your organization detects and responds to threats today.
We use industry benchmarks and models to measure your SOC’s maturity level across people, processes, and technology. After identifying gaps and growth opportunities, we deliver a phased improvement roadmap. This plan may include introducing advanced analytics or automation, upskilling analysts, refining incident response procedures, and establishing metrics for continuous improvement.
Following our roadmap, your SOC can evolve from a basic reactive operation to a highly proactive, intelligence-driven security organization.
Security Roadmap
A security roadmap turns strategy into concrete action by prioritizing and scheduling cybersecurity initiatives. WaveStrong’s Security Roadmap service provides a detailed plan that translates high-level strategy into specific projects and timelines.
We work with you to catalog all required security initiatives (technology implementations, policy updates, training programs, etc.) and then prioritize them according to risk reduction and value. The roadmap lays out each initiative with an implementation timeline and resource requirements, giving you a clear blueprint to follow.
By executing this roadmap, your organization can systematically strengthen its security posture, ensure critical improvements aren’t overlooked, and track progress in improving cyber defenses over time.
