Citicus Limited joins forces with
PricewaterhouseCoopers DA (PwC) and Scandinavian
Business Security AS (SBS) in Norway to accelerate use of its
groundbreaking risk management software in Scandinavia
UK company Citicus Limited has joined forces with
PricewaterhouseCoopers and SBS to support businesses in Scandinavia
seeking to implement its groundbreaking Citicus ONE risk management
software.
Citicus ONE automates FIRM - the world’s most
effective methodology for measuring and driving down the business risk of
business application systems, computer installations, communications
networks and other IT resources ‘going wrong’.
“By working together, we can make the best
combination of resources available to people looking to drive down this
key risk enterprise-wide” says Simon Oxley, Managing Director of Citicus
Limited. “We bring our deep knowledge of FIRM and our ability to deliver
our Citicus ONE risk management software”.
Roar Gulbrandsen of PwC and Jan Bjørnsen of SBS AS
will be spearheading the initiative from Oslo. “We’ve been enormously
impressed with the FIRM methodology and Citicus have taken it to a higher
plane through their world-class automation”, say Roar Gulbrandsen and
Jan Bjørnsen and add “ Scandinavian businesses recognise the need to
get a grip on information risk. We can deliver the local support they need
to implement Citicus ONE successfully, such as evaluating costs and
benefits, making the business case for deployment, managing implementation
programmes and upgrading weak points in security arrangements. And we’re
looking forward to doing so. We expect to announce several new customers
by the end of the year. Our aim now is to build a critical mass of
successful implementations in Norway. Our certified consulting team can
help Scandinavian organisations roll out this uniquely effective approach
across their local, regional and global operations”.
The FIRM methodology was developed in conjunction with
the UK-based Information Security Forum (ISF) by a team led by Marco Kapp
- a founder of Citicus. Based on ten years of statistical research among
ISF members – who include some 250 of the world’s largest companies
– FIRM provides decision-makers with a graphical view of information
risk, including quantitative risk league tables, and offers a practical
process for reducing information risk to an acceptable level.
