Case Study

GRF’s Cybersecurity Scorecard Provides a Holistic Approach to Cybersecurity

With an annual budget of $2.7 M, the organization, like many of its peers, has incorporated cutting-edge technologies into their operations in order to streamline processes and increase efficiency. Unfortunately, a greater reliance on information systems and outsourced service providers has created a new set of security and privacy concerns.
