Program Advisory & Strategy

An ever-evolving market landscape and increasing complexities of business risks are two realities that no business can afford to overlook. Our Strategic Advisory practice is comprised of former Business Leaders and Executives in Cybersecurity, Risk, and Compliance with decades of experience as strategists and practitioners.

Our approach is to:

• Understand your business needs
• Ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect your business interests from current and emerging risks.
• Guide you with custom-fit enterprise-wide programs, processes, platform, and tool implementations to drive key performance improvements and business productivity while reducing risks and operational costs.

Whether you’re maturing your cybersecurity program, establishing an enterprise risk management program, advancing your company’s technology infrastructure, preparing for an audit, building a vendor management program, or focused on meeting compliance objectives, Templar Shield Advisory leaders are here to help you define your processes and select the technologies that best meet your objectives.

Our goal is to equip you and your organization with the resources to focus on achieving your business goals.

Technology enablement is a key to unlocking the benefits of enterprise security, risk, and compliance programs. Technology enablement improves operational efficiencies, program effectiveness and enables a holistic view of the security, risk, and compliance posture of the organization.

However, Technology enablement is not only challenging but also time-consuming as the market space is congested with multiple tools boasting similar capabilities, making it harder for the companies to select the right tool that meets their current and future program automation requirements. Selecting the right tool not only requires an active engagement and collaboration between key stakeholders but also requires diligent consideration of program maturity and people, process and technology complexities, and dependencies of the organization.

Technology enablement is both an art and science. Templar Shield’s pragmatic, tool-agnostic approach combines the two by

• Assessing Program Readiness
• Defining Data Models and Use Cases
• Facilitating Tool Evaluation and Selection
• Developing Strategic Roadmaps
• Implementing the best-fit Technologies for your organization.
