IT Compliance
Compliance sometimes overlaps with security—but the motive behind compliance is different. It is centered around the requirements of a third party, such as: industry regulations, government policies, security frameworks, and even client contractual terms. Adhering to different requirements can be tricky and the failure to follow regulations can have negative effects on your business. Unicom’s team navigates the complexities for you – because when it comes to the business of compliance – failure is not an option.

IT Compliance as a Service (CaaS)
Compliance is not about checking a box or doing the bare minimum. With Unicom, IT compliance becomes an asset to your business such as bolstering your organization’s reputation and garnering new business with security-minded customers.
Vulnerability Management (VMaaS)
Vulnerability Management is all about discovering potential threats so you can remediate and respond to exposure across your organization. We help you understand how exposed your business is with routine vulnerability scanning, analysis, prioritization and reporting on both your infrastructure and applications.
vCISO/VCIO
Some businesses demand the same level of security and intelligence that larger organizations have but do not need to employ a full-time senior executive to fulfill these responsibilities. With Unciom, you can leverage and engage a highly-experienced vCISO or vCIO that will fill the gap when hiring full-time doesn’t make sense.
Assessments
Our IT and security assessments will help you understand the overall strengths and weaknesses of your IT systems and your network. We’ll map your assets and provide methods for improving your security, systems, network design, and IT infrastructure. You’ll know how prepared you really are.
Let us help protect your business activities and make compliance a value-add while satisfying your external requirements.
IT Governance and Risk Management
Before compliance is possible, organizations need to make plans that are directed and controlled. Setting direction, monitoring developments, and evaluating outcomes are all key to effective governance.
Danger is everywhere and it needs to be recognized. Compliance requires that risks be identified, analyzed, and controlled as much as is possible.
Unciom’s governance services include: policy development and management, documentation, audit trails, version control, as well as access and privilege controls. We can even run steering committee meetings and report to the board on your IT governance.
Our risk services include management and mitigation, incident management, as well as third-party and supplier risk management.
We ensure all your policies and procedures are documented, up to date, and all in one place.
