Safety Compass Publicizes Separation of Advisory Division to Broaden Consulting Enterprise

TORONTO – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Security Compass announced today that the consulting department has been restored as a separate business unit within the company. Founded in 2004, Security Compass Advisory is a cybersecurity advisory organization that helps companies improve the security posture of their existing technology environments and accelerate the adoption of new technologies.

Security Compass Advisory focuses on programmatic security strategies, security testing, and controversial simulations, and has extensive experience in application and network security, public, private, and hybrid clouds, containers, 5G, ICS, and IoT. The team has a long track record of working with some of the largest companies in the world on complex security programs – including major banks, insurance, telecommunications, media, technology companies, and healthcare facilities.

“With the rapid pace of digital transformation in 2020, companies are only just beginning to understand the security implications of this seismic shift. With much of these changes still happening in the cloud, it’s becoming increasingly important for organizations to have team members who specialize in cloud security or to hire outside experts to strengthen their own teams, ”said Jordan Kendall, president by Security Compass Advisory. “With our new business structure, Security Compass Advisory can build on our previous successes and help organizations identify and remediate vulnerabilities by deploying additional services to support our customers’ adoption of new technologies that support business transformation.”

In 2020, the advisory team played a pivotal role in helping the development of COVID-19 contact tracing applications that process sensitive user data, and conducted a detailed security assessment of VotingWorks’ Arlo platform that used the comprehensive state of Georgia became Risk Limiting Audit (RLA) during the 2020 US federal election.

“When Security Compass received an investment from FTV Capital in 2019, we realized that our advisory business had significant untapped potential. Plans have been put in place to establish separate leadership, strategy and goals for the consultation, ”said Rohit Sethi, CEO of Security Compass. “The explosive growth of cloud adoption and digital transformation has resulted in the need for expert security advice and services in these areas. I look forward to Advisory continuing to grow in 2021 as they establish themselves as leaders in safely adopting new technologies. ”

Advisory plans to launch several new services in 2021 that will expand the offering for customers to securely accelerate digital transformation initiatives. Advisory also plans to expand its team in Canada, the US, and India to expand the company’s reach.
