Customer challenges
Exquitech Cybersecurity Consulting customers are faced with a myriad of threats, challenges and vulnerabilities they seek protection from.
Increasing regulatory demands
Organisations are under growing pressure to comply with evolving cybersecurity, data privacy, and AI regulations across multiple jurisdictions. Many lack the internal alignment and controls to meet these expectations consistently.
Unclear governance and risk ownership
Without well-defined roles, responsibilities, and escalation paths, organisations face delays in decision-making, ineffective oversight, and reduced confidence in their security posture.
Gaps in identity and access management
Weak controls around user access, privileged accounts, and authentication remain a leading cause of security incidents. These gaps often fall short of Zero Trust and regulatory requirements.
Human-targeted threats
Phishing, social engineering, and executive impersonation attacks are growing in volume and sophistication. Many organisations still lack effective training programmes and proactive protection strategies.
Unmanaged use of AI tools
The use of AI tools without proper oversight can introduce operational, ethical, and compliance risks. This includes risks related to data misuse, data oversharing, bias, and non-compliance with emerging AI regulations.
Exposure through third parties and suppliers
Vendors, partners, and suppliers often lack adequate security controls. Without proper oversight, they become a weak link in the organisation’s broader risk and compliance ecosystem.
Limited breach readiness and response
Many organisations are not prepared to respond quickly or effectively to cyber incidents. This leads to delayed detection, lack of containment, and failure to meet regulatory reporting timelines.
Shortage of cybersecurity talent
Ongoing talent shortages make it difficult to scale security operations, keep up with threat trends, and maintain compliance. This also slows down internal initiatives and risk remediation efforts.
Our comprehensive consulting solutions address all these challenges, and more.
