Surefire

Cyber Attack Damage Control

Surefire, a cybersecurity company helping organizations recover from cyber attacks through insurance, needed a partner once insurance funds ran out with security needs still unmet. Ollon assesses each referred client's systems and builds a roadmap around the vulnerabilities in their attack. Referred clients get a specific plan to prevent a repeat, and Surefire keeps serving them past their coverage.

Situation

Surefire, a cybersecurity company specializing in assisting organizations recovering from cyber attacks via insurance coverage, faces a challenge when insurance funds are exhausted and ongoing security needs persist, as long term support is not within their wheelhouse. These clients typically have complex in house applications requiring thorough assessment and strategic security planning.

Solution

Ollon is often engaged as a trusted partner by Surefire to provide comprehensive security assessments for Surefire's referred clients, identifying vulnerabilities and outlining actionable recommendations to enhance their cybersecurity. This includes evaluating existing security measures, recommending improvements, and developing a roadmap for long term security enhancement.

Results

Having Ollon as a partner has allowed Surefire to better serve their clients needs in the long term by alleviating gaps and supplementing skill sets.

Our Expertise in Action

Cybersecurity assessment and incident response

Clients referred by Surefire have already been through a cyber attack, so the assessment has to account for exactly how that specific incident happened. Ollon builds each client's roadmap around the vulnerabilities that were actually exploited or discovered during the post attack review, prioritizing fixes tied to that exposure over generic hardening steps that might not apply. That specificity means the roadmap is aimed at preventing a repeat of what already happened. Clients walk away with a plan built around their own incident history.

Security and compliance consulting

Companies Surefire refers often run complex, custom built applications that had never gone through a formal security review before Ollon got involved. Ollon reviews each application against recognized security and compliance standards, then translates the findings into recommendations the client's own team can act on without needing a dedicated security hire. That standards based guidance gives referred clients an ongoing point of contact for security questions as their applications evolve, instead of a one time report that goes stale the moment something changes. The relationship with Surefire has continued because referred clients keep needing that steady guidance long after their immediate crisis has passed.

Cyber incident recovery and hardening

Cyber attack victims working through Surefire's insurance funded recovery process eventually reach a point where the insurance coverage runs out, but the security work covering their in house applications is not finished. Ollon picks up at that point, running a full security assessment of the referred client's systems to identify vulnerabilities Surefire's initial response did not have the mandate or budget to fully address. That handoff means clients do not lose security coverage the moment their insurance claim closes, even though the entity providing that coverage changes. The assessment becomes the foundation for whatever security work the client needs to do next, insurance funded or not.
