Hi,We just completed a security assessment and after looking at 6 companies (big 4, little 2), we ended up using Gartner - they did a reasonable job and were not as expensive as you would think.
Thanks, Joel Rosenblatt Joel Rosenblatt, Senior Security Officer & Windows Specialist Columbia Information Security Office (CISO) Columbia University, 612 W 115th Street, NY, NY 10025 / 212 854 3033 http://www.columbia.edu/~joel --On Thursday, April 05, 2007 1:13 PM -0500 "Penn, Blake" <pennb () UWW EDU> wrote:
Jefferson Wells is one of the few national firms that do this type of work at reasonable prices. They hire sharp and experienced people (I know several of them personally and can attest to their skills) but don't overcharge like the Big 4-type firms. And they don't even pay me to say this! ___________________________________________ Blake Penn, CISSP Information Security Officer University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (p) 262-472-7792 (f) 262-472-1285 pennb () uww edu | http://www.uww.edu/security -----Original Message----- From: Dick Jacobson [mailto:Dick.Jacobson () NDSU NODAK EDU] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 12:32 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Security Assessment One of our entities is looking for "names of companies and/or consultants that could provide an overall security assessment - server, database, etc." If you have had experience with any (or heard stories of any) we would appreciate your input.
