Challenge

The client's cybersecurity initiatives were broad, and didn’t employ risk ranking to prioritize threats, leading to a reduction in their cybersecurity maturity. An internal penetration test also resulted in providing domain admin rights on the first day, a critical security flaw that needed to be resolved immediately.

Results

When BDO specialized resources stepped in as CFO, the company was able to complete its reporting on time. This enabled the CEO (which was newly assigned by the company) and we worked closely with the new CEO to improve profitability throughout most of the year.

It's always great working with an organization that values the investment in cybersecurity. Many times, we are brought into an engagement after an incident - it's great to work with an organization strategically.
