Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)

Overview Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) programs provide the organizational structure, risk management processes, and compliance frameworks essential for effective cybersecurity. DD's Fortune 500 experience establishing GRC programs at Phillips 66, Baker Hughes, and Marathon Oil ensures your organization implements enterprise-grade governance without enterprise costs. Our team-based approach combines strategic oversight with hands-on execution to build sustainable compliance programs.
Governance Framework Development We establish clear governance structures defining roles, responsibilities, and decision-making authority for cybersecurity. DD works with your executive team to develop security policies, standards, and procedures aligned with business objectives. Our legal advisor ensures compliance with regulatory requirements while our analysts document processes and train staff. We create security steering committees, define escalation procedures, and establish metrics for measuring program effectiveness.
Risk Management Programs Our team implements comprehensive risk management processes including asset identification, threat modeling, vulnerability assessment, and risk quantification. We use proven methodologies to calculate annualized loss expectancy (ALE) and return on security investment (ROSI) for prioritizing remediation efforts. DD provides executive risk communication and board reporting while analysts maintain risk registers and track remediation progress. Quarterly risk assessments ensure your program adapts to evolving threats and business changes.
Compliance Program Management We support compliance with SOC 2 (Type I and Type II), ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-171, CMMC, and state privacy regulations (CCPA, GDPR). Our team develops control implementations, collects audit evidence, and prepares for certification assessments. DD's experience with multiple compliance frameworks across different industries ensures efficient, cost-effective compliance. We identify control overlaps to minimize redundant efforts and maximize audit reusability.
Energy Sector Expertise DD's 19 years leading cybersecurity for Fortune 500 energy companies provides deep understanding of oil & gas regulatory requirements including NERC CIP (for utilities), API security standards, and TSA pipeline security directives. Our OT/ICS specialists assess operational technology environments (SCADA, DCS systems) and implement appropriate controls for critical infrastructure protection. We navigate complex regulatory landscapes combining IT security requirements with operational technology safety considerations.

SOC Architecture & Design

Overview Security Operations Center (SOC) architecture and design services help organizations establish effective threat detection and incident response capabilities. Our team-based approach combines DD's strategic oversight with technical specialists who design, implement, and optimize security monitoring platforms. We right-size SOC capabilities to match your organization's size, risk profile, and budget—from basic log monitoring to full 24/7 security operations.
SIEM Selection and Implementation We evaluate security information and event management (SIEM) platforms based on your specific requirements, including log volume, data sources, compliance needs, and budget constraints. Our procurement experts negotiate favorable pricing and licensing terms while technical specialists handle deployment, log source integration, and correlation rule development. We support leading SIEM platforms including Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, LogRhythm, and emerging solutions like Chronicle and Sumo Logic.
Detection Engineering Our security analysts develop custom detection rules, correlation logic, and use cases tailored to your environment and threat landscape. We implement layered detection across network traffic, endpoint activity, cloud infrastructure, and application logs. Technical specialists build automated response playbooks for common scenarios (malware detection, unauthorized access, data exfiltration) to reduce response times and analyst workload. We continuously tune detection logic to reduce false positives while maintaining high detection rates.
Incident Response Framework We establish comprehensive incident response procedures including detection, triage, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned. DD develops executive communication protocols and board reporting templates while analysts create detailed playbooks for technical responders. We conduct tabletop exercises to test response procedures and identify gaps. Our team integrates with your existing IT, legal, and communications teams to ensure coordinated response to security incidents.
Managed SOC Transition For organizations not ready to build internal SOC capabilities, we design managed SOC partnerships and oversee vendor selection. Our team develops detailed requirements, evaluates managed detection and response (MDR) providers, and negotiates service level agreements. We ensure smooth transition to managed services while maintaining strategic oversight and vendor accountability. This approach provides immediate security monitoring capabilities while your organization develops long-term strategy and capabilities.

Training & Awareness

Overview Security awareness training and education programs build organizational security culture and reduce human-factor risks. Phishing and social engineering remain the #1 attack vector, making employee awareness critical for effective cybersecurity. Our team develops customized training programs tailored to your industry, roles, and specific threats—from executive security briefings to technical staff training to company-wide awareness campaigns.
Role-Based Training Programs We develop targeted training for different organizational roles. Executive training focuses on strategic security oversight, board reporting, and crisis management. Technical staff receive hands-on security training for secure development, infrastructure hardening, and incident response. General staff training covers phishing recognition, password security, data handling, and reporting suspicious activity. Each program includes assessments to verify knowledge retention and identify areas requiring additional focus.
Phishing Simulation and Testing Our team conducts realistic phishing simulations to test employee awareness and identify high-risk users. We start with baseline testing, implement targeted training for vulnerable users, and conduct follow-up testing to measure improvement. Simulations include various attack types (credential harvesting, malicious attachments, business email compromise) and difficulty levels. Results inform ongoing awareness efforts and help demonstrate program effectiveness to leadership and auditors.
Industry-Specific Content Training content reflects threats and compliance requirements specific to your industry. Energy sector training covers operational technology risks, supply chain security, and critical infrastructure protection. Healthcare training emphasizes HIPAA privacy requirements and protected health information (PHI) handling. Financial services training addresses fraud prevention, data protection, and regulatory compliance. Industry-specific examples and scenarios increase relevance and engagement.
