Security you can prove.

GABCO Enterprises delivers CISO advisory, gap analysis, mock assessments, penetration testing, cloud security and managed compliance for Cayman organisations. Aligned to CIMA, and to the frameworks your clients expect: ISO 27001, SOC 2 and PCI DSS.

Overview

What is included

  • Virtual CISO and security leadership
  • Gap analysis against your chosen framework
  • Mock assessments before audits and inspections
  • Penetration testing and vulnerability management
  • Cloud and Microsoft 365 security reviews
  • Security policy and staff awareness training
  • Incident response planning
  • Managed compliance and evidence collection

Cayman organisations hold valuable information: client identities, financial records, legal matters and access to funds. That makes them targets for phishing, business email compromise, ransomware and fraud. Regulators, clients and insurers now expect proof that the right controls are in place and working.

GABCO Enterprises provides security leadership, assessment and ongoing compliance, sized to each organisation's risk. We focus on the controls that cut real world risk the most, and on the evidence auditors, regulators and clients ask for.

Our work aligns with CIMA's Rule and Statement of Guidance on Cybersecurity for Regulated Entities, the Cayman Islands Data Protection Act and international frameworks: ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and the CIS Critical Security Controls.

Who it is for. Regulated entities working to CIMA's cybersecurity rule. Firms preparing for ISO 27001 or SOC 2. Businesses taking card payments under PCI DSS. Any organisation holding confidential client or personal data. Our security practice draws on CISSP, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and PCI DSS expertise.

  • CIMA Rule on Cybersecurity
  • Cayman Data Protection Act
  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022
  • SOC 2
  • PCI DSS v4
  • NIST CSF 2.0
  • CIS Controls v8
Field notes

What most firms don't know about Cyber Security

Facts and practices that rarely make it into a proposal, but decide how well the work holds up.

99.2%

MFA stops most account takeovers

Microsoft found multi factor authentication blocks over 99.2% of account compromise attacks. Text message codes are the weakest kind; app approval with number matching or passkeys hold up far better.

The costliest attack is a convincing invoice email

Business email compromise is among the costliest internet crimes the FBI tracks each year. A rule to confirm any change of bank details by calling a known number defeats most of it.

Scan≠ test

A vulnerability scan is not a penetration test

A scan lists known weaknesses automatically. A penetration test has a person chain them together to show what an attacker could actually reach. Auditors know the difference.

Self-check

Is your firm ready for CIMA's questions?

Six questions drawn from CIMA's cybersecurity rule and the Data Protection Act. Two minutes, nothing is sent anywhere.

Has your board approved a written cybersecurity framework, and reviewed it in the last year?
Does your incident plan cover notifying CIMA within 72 hours of finding a material incident?
Could you notify the Ombudsman and affected people of a data breach within five days?
Is multi factor authentication on for every email and remote access account?
Have you restored from backup in a test within the last 12 months?
Are all servers and PCs on supported versions of Windows?

Answer each question to see where you stand.

"Not sure" counts as a gap. If you can't show it, an inspector won't count it either.
