ACPL: Securing Information with a Risk-Based Approach

By

The Information Security market today is evolving at neck wrecking speed. With attacks becoming more sophisticated and technology growing both vertically and horizontally, information is now at a greater risk. This has brought the need of Risk Assessment in the organizations to the forefront.

ACPL Systems Private Limited, headquartered in New Delhi, provides this assessment on a risk-based approach by understanding business objectives of an organization and impact that a risk has on these objectives in case the risk is not addressed. ACPL provides information protection solutions to help organizations realize the need to secure the information. "With the growing inclination in the industry towards translating the processes and business needs to map right technology and product, ACPL provides a choice to customer by this mapping to go for best of the breed products that would mitigate the customers’ information security risks" says Vishal Bindra, Founder and CEO, ACPL.

Cloud based services like hosted anti-virus, anti-spam, web security and web firewall are available, but there is not enough readiness amongst the SMEs when it comes to adoption. The reason behind it is the inability of most of the service providers and resellers to explain value proposition to customers. ACPL follows a different approach in which the concerned personnel meet the customer with solution as easy as plug-and-play the process and show how the business users will be benefited with the investment made. ACPL follows different methodologies for Pre-Sales and Post-Sales operations.

In presales ACPL highly focuses on consumer satisfaction by spending valuable time to discuss with the customers, business objectives and mapping their need for Security. By giving clients the knowledge about the tools and how the tools will benefit their business, the company helps the clients to meet their business objectives and budgets to improve ROI (Return on Investments). It also imparts hand-on deep dive training to the staff making them able to work with the tool. In post sales the organization works closely with customers to understand their business and needs by incorporating the same in support, SLA (Service Level Agreement) and SOW (Statement Of Work). ACPL works with its own software tools and processes that help customers understand their need to implement a particular solution that can be understood and processed accordingly. The company also assists in plugging the gaps in terms of skills within customer's organization so that the customer can maximize the ROI.

With the data security market taking a curve drastically these days, the sweeping change from desktop to mobile device will have one of the major impacts. Data privacy would become extremely important and security will take the prime position when making any business decisions, as newer technologies would be deployed to customers to manage mobile security threats and challenges. ACPL is well prepared for this new change having the understanding of how new threats are emerging, how mobility will change computing and how to guide customers to protect their data and assist their business for success.
