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.
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.
Two reasons: This is required by law and identify security weaknesses before they lead to costly breaches, downtime, or regulatory scrutiny.
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.
This is required by law and reduce liability by demonstrating appropriate security measures.
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.
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.
With incidents and breaches, timeliness is key. Two of the most important things are: showing when and what you did in response to the event.
In today's regulatory and contractual environment, organizations are increasingly expected to prove that security measures are in place, not simply claim they exist. 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.
Not doing this has you gambling with the risk that nothing will ever happen. If it does, you won't be able to show due care and open your organization to massive liability.
Your security is only as strong as the vendors you trust with your data and operations. Our Managed Third-Party Cyber Risk Management service helps organizations evaluate, monitor, and manage cybersecurity risks introduced by suppliers, contractors, cloud providers, and other business partners. We establish a structured process for assessing vendor security practices and identifying potential weaknesses before they impact your organization. This proactive approach helps reduce supply chain risk while protecting your reputation and operational resilience.
Your third parties provide services for you and are an extension of your organization. When it comes to risk, this makes them part of you.
Technology alone cannot stop cyber threats. Employees are often the first line of defense and unfortunately one of the most common targets for attackers. Our Staff Security Awareness and Training program provides engaging, practical education that helps personnel identify risks, avoid common mistakes, and develop security-conscious habits. By transforming employees into active participants in your security program, organizations can significantly reduce incidents caused by phishing, social engineering, and accidental data exposure.
This is required by law. Over 80 Percent of incidents and breaches are caused by human error.
Many organizations need experienced cybersecurity leadership but do not require, or cannot justify, the expense of a full-time Chief Information Security Officer. Our Virtual CISO (vCISO) Service provides executive-level cybersecurity strategy, governance, risk management, and compliance guidance at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated executive. Acting as a trusted advisor, we help leadership make informed security decisions, prioritize investments, and align cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives. The result is professional security leadership without the overhead of an additional executive hire.
All of these activities are required of all organizations, as indicated above. If you would rather just have someone take care of it, we can help.
