GuidePoint Security: Trusted Cybersecurity Expertise

GuidePoint’s Chairman and CEO, Michael Volk, explains why he started the company and how it helps government and commercial organizations better secure their environments and information.

Volk says: “The company’s vision has always been to be the premier information security solution provider across the country. We also strive to become the trusted advisor with our client. What does that really mean? In GuidePoint’s case, we want to understand:

• Our client’s needs
• Their threat landscapes
• Their business and objectives

With this information we can help their security leads fashion a solution – that can mean the products that they select, the various services, or if they don’t have manpower, potentially managed services. We’re not here to recommend one product or one solution to a client and step away. It is more important to us to get to know the client, their needs, their objectives, and also help them prioritize their risks and their challenges. If we can do that properly, then we can kind of build a security roadmap together that identifies the greatest assets, the highest exposure, help them understand risk versus loss, and come up with a comprehensive roadmap that tackles these in prioritized fashion. Once we tackle those, let’s take stock of where we’re at now, reassess what’s changed in the business, the environment, threats and how they may impact you differently… reassess, and do it all over again. It’s constant improvement where we are trying to elevate their security posture and awareness levels.”
