As little as a decade ago, the primary focus of information security and application security was to assure the security of the data center and thereby protect corporate assets from threats. Today, the practice of information security has evolved into a board level imperative that has to both account for and provide assurance that all manner of information and assets, including people and applications, are protected from threat.
CISOs and the entire C-suite are faced with the challenges of securing an ever-expanding set of assets encompassed in private, public and hybrid architectures, provided by multiple applications, data sources and a growing set of endpoints and users, and managed in alignment with a slowly evolving and increasingly complex global regulatory landscape.
Knowing that Information security strategies must innovate and mature to become inclusive of people assets as well as application and data assets and account for a broader set of technologies and ways of working with internal and third party resources; Trianz was founded to help leaders in client organizations, formulate and execute operational strategies to achieve business results from a senior management perspective.

C-Suite Responsibilities Today
This innovation maturity strategy is at the heart of Trianz’ approach to information security. The goal of business is to enable: enable clients to do great things with the products and services they offer; enable employees to innovate and provide great support to customers; and enable third parties to securely provide innovative, new products and services in support of their clients’ businesses.
To secure the environment against threats, many businesses are focused on developing information security programs that eliminate threats by disabling their employees – eliminating access points, restricting device usage, limiting application development and deployment, limiting or denying third party services in support of business programs. This practice has the impact of providing greater security for assets – if you can’t get to the information, it is secure by default. However, it also sets up an organizational “Culture of No.”
The Culture of No is a clear deterrent to innovation which is a death knell for any business. Because the business imperative is to grow – to improve products and services, to improve experiences for customers – the Culture of No is an effective security program only as long as employees don’t find ways around the controls so they can do their job and innovate.
Typical Security Practice
Trianz’ security consulting services are focused on helping clients foster the Culture of Yes and the team is successfully making it true. Whether Trianz is engaged in assessing client’s readiness for a particular audit, standard, regulation or certification or working with them to implement a governance program that includes implementation of a secure operations center using a DevOps support model, the team focuses on helping their clients develop their own Culture of Yes for information security. This process starts with understanding the clients’ business goals and objectives, current security posture, risk analysis, risk management profile, architectures supported and technology strategy. It includes evaluating each of these areas for blockers to success in implementation, governance or organizational policy/structure, technology choices and regulatory-audit-compliance landscape. Next, in concert with the client, they envision the Culture of Yes for their information security program while leveraging guidelines, techniques, and technologies that support the overall security engagement. Trianz Security is mainly focused on practice areas that includes assessments, architectures, implementation, operations, and analytics.
