Oklahoma Reasonable Security

As an Oklahoma-based cybersecurity company, Gilliam Security helps organizations implement reasonable safeguards,
reduce risk, and strengthen compliance through assessments, security planning, and advisory services.

Cyber Security Risk Assessments

Most organizations know cybersecurity is important, but few know where their greatest risks actually exist. Our Cyber Security Risk Assessment provides a comprehensive review of your technical, administrative, and operational security controls to identify vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. You'll receive a prioritized list of remediation that helps you make smarter security investments, improve compliance readiness, and reduce the likelihood of costly incidents. Instead of guessing where to focus, you'll have clear, actionable recommendations tailored to your business.

“Reasonable safeguards” means policies and practices that ensure personal information is secure, taking into consideration an entity’s size and the type and amount of personal information. The term includes, but is not limited to, conducting risk assessments, implementing technical and physical layered defenses, employee training on handling personal information, and establishing an incident response plan

Reasonable Safeguards Implementations

Oklahoma's updated data breach law places increased emphasis on "reasonable safeguards" to protect sensitive information. Our Reasonable Safeguards Implementation service helps organizations develop and document the policies, procedures, and security controls necessary to demonstrate due diligence and reduce liability. We translate complicated cybersecurity requirements into practical business solutions that strengthen your defenses while supporting regulatory and customer expectations. The result is a security program that is both defensible and effective.

One question I asked was: do I really have personal information? If anyone works for the organization, you do. This is the W4 form filled out upon hire OR your form for your EIN if you are the only person.

Data Discovery and Information Protection

You cannot protect information if you do not know where it lives. Our Data Discovery and Information Protection service identifies sensitive data throughout your organization, maps where it is stored, and recommends safeguards to reduce risk and unauthorized access. By understanding what information you collect, retain, and share, your organization can make better decisions about security, privacy, retention, and compliance. This service often uncovers hidden risks that can be eliminated before they become a breach.

“Personal information” means an individual’s first name or first initial and last name in combination with any one or more of the following data elements that relate to the individual if any of the data elements are not encrypted, redacted, or otherwise altered by any method or technology in such a manner that the name or data elements are unreadable or are encrypted, redacted, or otherwise altered by any method or technology but the keys to unencrypt, unredact, or otherwise read the data elements have been obtained through the breach of security

Incident Response and Breach Readiness

When a cybersecurity incident occurs, every minute matters. Our Incident Response and Breach Readiness service helps your organization prepare for the unexpected by establishing response procedures, defining responsibilities, and testing decision-making processes before a crisis occurs. We help reduce confusion, minimize downtime, and improve your ability to respond quickly and effectively. A well-prepared organization can significantly reduce the financial, operational, and reputational damage associated with a breach.

Our Documentation and Compliance Readiness service develops the policies, standards, procedures, and supporting evidence needed to demonstrate due diligence to customers, auditors, insurers, and regulators. Strong documentation creates accountability, supports governance efforts, and provides confidence that your organization is prepared for audits, assessments, and security reviews.

By transforming employees into active participants in your security program, organizations can significantly reduce incidents caused by phishing, social engineering, and accidental data exposure.

Acting as a trusted advisor, we help leadership make informed security decisions, prioritize investments, and align cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives.
