Security and Disaster Recovery


West Monroe Employees - Montreal Office

Disasters take many forms: a computer virus, sabotage from a disgruntled current or former employee, criminal acts or terrorism, environmental disasters, accidents, and more.

Unfortunately, it only takes seconds to lose intellectual capital, reputation, and other valuable assets.

  • How secure is your digital information?
  • Which information assets are most likely to be harmed by plausible threat sources or vulnerabilities in your systems?
  • Will you be able to maintain your IT systems or infrastructure in the event of a breach or a disaster?
  • Do you have a communication plan in place to deal with disruptions, and does it incorporate both internal and external resources?
  • Have you tested and/or updated your disaster recovery or business continuity plan in the last year?
  • Protecting your IT investment and mitigating the risk associated with a security event or other disruption to your business can be critical to long-term survival.

West Monroe Partners can help you secure your vital systems and data by: 

  • Conducting IT security and risk assessments that identify weaknesses in applications and networks.
  • Developing a roadmap for applying appropriate technical security solutions and security processes.
  • Applying best practices for system and network access control.

  • Infrastructure, including network and telephony requirements for supporting internal and external resources.
  • Roles and responsibilities of key individuals, as well as external organizations.
