How do we protect critical assets?

Director IT and Information Security Officer @Quistor
Within Quistor we prioritize the data, systems, and software assets that keeps our customer business alive and help it to thrive is an essential characteristic of our cyber security program.
Our challenge
Identifying priority assets is no easy task, as internal departments often lack alignment on how to classify intellectual property and other important data. Within Quistor we have a dedicated information security team with understanding, security controls are applied to all assets equally.
Within Quistor we believe this is continual process and think it all through at the same time, we are engaging our employees to be a part of the enterprise security plan. To learn and sharing knowledge. We are continuous asking and checking:
- What parts of the business are exposed to the greatest risk?
- What should we classify as a critical asset?
- How should we apply cyber risk controls?
- How do we protect our business-critical software, applications, infrastructure and data from a failure in the supply chain?
Our strategy
Besides our dedicated information security team, Quistor trusts and collaborates with the Dutch Fox-IT member of the worldwide NCC group.
