A Multi-Layered Approach

Providing “defense in depth” security services that will adequately mitigate threats requires a multi-layered approach. To that end, Lithik Systems deploys four types of service with its clients.

SmartCheck Audits
These audits provide benchmarking of current state strengths and weaknesses of the infrastructure, over-all security and compliance to policies. The audit process has three phases; discovery, analysis and report/recommendations. There are two specific categories of deliverables, one assesses network and security vulnerabilities and performance issues and the other assesses human behavior as it relates to acceptable use of IT assets.

SmartWatch Managed Auditing Services
Because security is complex and constantly undergoing change, it is a moving target. Lithik Systems has designed an ongoing security service that keeps up with this constant change as it audits the flow of traffic through the customer network and triggers alerts for possible security breaches, violation of policy, or performance degradation. The value that Lithik Systems brings to its ongoing clients is customizable controls, oversight, monitoring, management, threat identification and corrective action as it relates to security.

Compliance Services
There is a significant framework required to assure that a company is in compliance with legislated regulations. This framework involves having clear policies and well defined procedures that are targeted to fulfill Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, HIPAA or other federal or state guidelines. Lithik provides services in this area that range from entirely producing these policies/procedures to reviewing and advising on existing ones.

Project Services
Based on the recommendations from the audits Lithik Systems can be engaged on a variety of projects to remedy issues found during the process. Often these projects involve a cooperative effort with our customer’s IT staff or current vendors. Lithik assumes the role of assuring the over-all soundness of security throughout the project.
