Information and Cyber Security

In the modern digital landscape, information and cyber security can no longer exist as a separate, isolated function that merely "touches the edges" of an organisation. At Viewdeck, we believe that for security to be truly effective, it must be woven into the very fabric of the ICT delivery lifecycle. Our approach moves away from traditional silos, opting instead to integrate security controls directly into the processes of Design, Transition, and Operations. By doing so, we don't just protect the perimeter; we ensure that every thread of your digital infrastructure is inherently resilient.

The philosophy behind our solutions is one of pragmatic integration. We often look to combine critical service functions that have traditionally lived apart. For instance, by aligning Incident and Event Management with both the Network Operations Centre (NOC) and the Security Operations Centre (SOC), we eliminate redundant complexities. This unified view allows for a more efficient use of scarce resources and ensures that your investment in cyber security delivers improved, measurable outcomes across the entire enterprise.

The Architecture of Resilience

Our solutions support your organisation across the full NIST-aligned lifecycle: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. We bring deep, practical experience from high-stakes environments such as Law Enforcement, Defence, and Finance, where the cost of failure is absolute.

We start with Governance, establishing a robust framework that includes clear policy development and standards for security controls that align with compliance requirements. From there, we move into Risk Management, where we don't just identify threats, but prioritise them according to your specific business impact, implementing mitigation strategies that make sense for your risk posture.

In the realm of Identity and Access Management (IAM), we establish the rigorous processes needed to ensure that only authorised users can reach sensitive resources, effectively reducing your internal and external attack surfaces. Our Network Security implementations go beyond simple firewalls; we deploy sophisticated intrusion detection systems and high-grade encryption to protect data as it moves through increasingly complex, distributed cloud environments.

Security as the Fabric of Development

A key differentiator in our approach is how we handle Application Security. Rather than treating security as a final "gate" that causes friction and delay, we help you embed it into your development activities from the outset. By utilizing secure coding practices, automated code reviews, and both static and dynamic analysis, we ensure that security is a natural part of the delivery process.

Through DevSecOps and continuous integration (CI/CD) pipelines, we provide automation across the entire assurance lifecycle. This "security-as-code" approach allows for real-time monitoring and automated compliance reporting, ensuring that your security posture evolves as fast as your software does.

Technical Implementation and Continuous Vigilance

Our technical capabilities are as broad as the threat landscape itself. We deploy and manage a wide array of security software, from Host and Network Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS/NIDS) to advanced SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) tools for centralised logging. Whether your estate lives on Linux, Windows, or Mac—or spans AWS, Azure, and Private Clouds—we provide cross-platform protection that ensures data integrity and availability.

Beyond the technology, we focus on the human element through Training and Awareness. We believe a secure organisation is one where every user understands their role in identifying potential threats. Coupled with our Incident Response planning, we ensure that when an event does occur, your organisation can respond with speed and precision, recovering quickly to maintain business continuity.

Ultimately, our goal is to provide a fresh, pragmatic security landscape that simplifies decision-making. We target investment where it is most effective, helping you navigate the complexities of ISO27001, GDPR, and PCI principles with confidence and clarity.
