-- Provides insight into enterprise cloud security posture and a 
     pathway to achieving security maturity

Sourced Group Worldwide Inc. ("Sourced"), a leading global technology 
consultancy, today launched its new solution offering, the Sourced Cloud 
Security Assessment. More than a standalone audit, Sourced's Cloud Security 
Assessment takes a consultative approach to understanding security practices 
within an enterprise's operating model. It then provides a detailed assessment 
of an organisation's cyber security maturity, setting prioritised 
recommendations that form a roadmap to meet its cyber security risk management 
objectives. This empowers businesses to self-manage their security into the 
future.

"According to CSO, the average cost of a data breach now exceeds $2M USD, while 
regulatory fines for organisations not diligently protecting their clients' 
personally identifiable information (PII) can exceed $100M USD," says Yuri 
Litvinov, Head of Consulting at Sourced Group. "In this environment, leveraging 
the latest technologies to drive innovation in the security domain is a must, 
otherwise businesses become exposed, now more than ever before."

"As large enterprises and heavily regulated organisations focus their effort on 
their digital journey and cloud adoption, embedding sound security practices 
that scale as their cloud footprint grows, could prove challenging," explains 
Litvinov. "Standard security audits fail to deliver long term  security gains 
by providing a point in time view of issues only to be repeated in 12 months' 
time. With the Sourced Cloud Security Assessment we take a deeper and more 
holistic approach.  Working closely with clients to diagnose, educate and 
change the way businesses view security in the cloud, enables us to establish a 
roadmap to improving cloud security maturity long-term."

The Sourced Cloud Security Assessment helps Heads of Security to assess the 
effectiveness of their current security and governance practices in the public 
cloud environments. Enabling them to plan and execute improvements to achieve 
scalable security maturity. Sourced applies well established security industry 
frameworks and best practices gained from years of experience building cloud 
environments in highly regulated industries. The assessment is cloud-agnostic 
and provides a holistic security maturity review of target cloud environments.
