Cyber Security

Emerging technology creates new opportunities for organizations that understand that cyber security is a strategic issue and an enabler of growth.

KPMG firms support you to manage risks and develop roadmaps and technologies for Governance, Risk & Compliance and Integrated Risk Management. They help establish a trusted AI strategy focused on responsible design and deployment. Our services and solutions help you align cyber investment with business goals, so you can shape your future with confidence.

Some of the key services we at KPMG in Finland provide for Cyber Strategy and Governance:

• Cybersecurity strategy and increase awareness. We help identify areas for improvement, build a framework for managing cybersecurity, and prepare for the impact of disruptions in the digital operating environment on business operations. We have supported various organizations, from family businesses to critical infrastructure operators, in proactively protecting their operations and developing their ability to respond when threats and risks materialize.
• Building a Cybersecurity Management Framework. We help you design a cybersecurity management framework, for example, in accordance with the ISO 27001 standard. The management framework supports the achievement of the organization's strategic goals and compliance. A management framework is a systematic approach to cybersecurity as a whole, covering cybersecurity objectives, controls for maintaining security, procedures, and leadership for building a functional cybersecurity culture.
• Cybersecurity Risk Management. Identifying and assessing risks provide the organization's management with an up-to-date picture of the situation and threat assessments related to information security, data protection, cyber security, and preparedness. Risk management processes should be built on a technical solution, such as ServiceNow, to ensure effortless maintenance of operations.
• Cybersecurity Team as a Service. The necessary cybersecurity expertise for an organization can also be acquired as a service. In this case, the organization always has access to the expertise and insights of an international network on key developments in the field of cybersecurity.

Identifying and assessing key cybersecurity risks helps direct management measures cost-effectively and strengthens the organization's ability to protect against future threats.

By preparing for disruptions, an organization ensures rapid response capability and recovery from disruptive situations, enabling a competitive advantage in its market.

Our Business Continuity and Preparedness efforts within the cyber practice focus on ensuring operational resilience in the face of evolving threats, minimizing disruption to critical operations. We plan, test and train response strategies that enable swift recovery and sustained protection in a dynamic threat landscape.

• Continuity and Preparedness Planning. We have supported numerous organizations both in Finland and globally in business preparedness. Typically, preparedness focuses on business needs and, for example, the ability of information systems to recover within the required recovery time. Our approach includes assessing the impact of risks, defining alternative operating methods, and setting recovery time objectives. We utilize well-known frameworks such as ISO 22301, ISO 27001, and ISO 31000. We can also certify operations according to the ISO 22301 standard.
• Regulations and Preparedness. Regulations such as DORA, NIS2 and CER increasingly emphasize preparedness and, together with the changed global operating environment, set long-term requirements for organizations. We support organizations' readiness to ensure business continuity. Preparedness must be a long-term activity that supports the organization's strategic goals, especially in terms of operational planning and staff development.
• Preparedness Training and Exercising. We have conducted numerous exercises and have developed guidelines and manuals for implementing training activities. Our international expert team creates tailored training experience for the organization and provides professional analysis of the activities during the exercise. We apply the guides on training activities published by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency in our training operations.
