Turnkey Authority To Operate (ATO) Compliance

Authority to Operate (ATO) is a formal certification that states a system's security controls are adequate and the system can be used in a specific operational environment. Information security is paramount for protecting the Government of Canada's information systems. Adhering to the ITSG-33 guidelines issued by the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) ensures that security measures are integrated at every level. These guidelines recommend a systematic assessment process to validate compliance with cybersecurity standards.

Sabytel offers comprehensive turnkey ATO services, powered by a unified team of subject matter experts (SMEs), to help clients meet the cybersecurity requirements set by the Government of Canada.

Our practitioners customize and implement Security Controls Matrices (SCM), guide the development of project security architecture, conduct sensitivity analyses and assist in gathering existing implementation evidence. This proactive approach serves as a first line of defense against the expensive rework often required at the end of projects to meet security standards.

Our assessors immerse themselves in understanding the system and its non-functional requirements, evaluating each piece of evidence for its contribution to compliance with the applied standards. They identify and assess the impact of current threats and vulnerabilities to the landing zone, conduct risk assessments, calculate residual risks and offer mitigation recommendations. They also develop essential ATO documentation artifacts, including:

• Security Assessment and Authorization (SA&A) plan
• Statement of Sensitivity (SOS)
• Security Controls Matrix (SCM)

Threat Hunting

Our threat hunting service is an integral part of our MSSP packages, but it can also be provided as a standalone product for those who already have a mature SIEM solution.

Threat hunting is a proactive strategy for network security. It involves a systematic search for signs of cybercriminals or Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) that may be operating undetected on your network. Operating on the premise that a malicious actor might already be within the network, waiting for the right moment to cause maximum damage, our team actively seeks out these threats using specialized tools that won't alert the adversaries. The team strives to understand how the intruders gained access, their intention and ultimately, to expel them from your network.
