A prestigious multi-jurisdictional legal firm that operates throughout Latin America, renowned for its commitment to excellence and quality of service.
Problem
Although many Information Security checks had been conducted and ISO/IEC 27001 had been certified, all control was under the purview of the Technology Management, which was both the judge and the party in everything that happened within the firm. Thus, there was a certain urgency for the scenario to be updated.
Solution
The significance of information security necessitates the formalization of new, specific roles and responsibilities in an organic manner. In organizations of the size and significance of the firm, these responsibilities cannot be properly established without the context of a specific Information Security role that provides the appropriate level of visibility and importance, and enables the control of tasks from other areas (Technology, Business, Operations), reporting directly to the Senior Management.
A series of controls were established and implemented through an independent team to ensure proper information security control and effective communication with Senior Management as the ultimate responsible party for everything that occurs in the organization.
Datasec appointed a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), who was responsible for safeguarding the company’s assets and establishing rules, oversight, and communication with the senior management team. This role led the implementation of digital security governance for the law firm. Among their strategies, they emphasized developing a business case that justified digital security initiatives and demonstrated their impact across the entire practice.
Furthermore, they ensured the integration of information security with operational processes and fostered a positive security culture, where all collaborators take on the responsibility for information security.
Impact
As a result of these actions, the firm underwent a substantial improvement in information security and cybersecurity levels. The implementation of robust processes and controls, coupled with heightened security awareness among employees, enabled the organization to reduce its exposure to security risks.
Consequently, the firm positioned itself better to address future challenges in this field, ensuring the protection of its assets and maintaining the trust of its clients and partners.
