“ Moving from hundreds of monthly alerts to just six to 12 tickets has delivered a huge operational benefit to how OCG approaches security.”
A key component of the partnership is BlueVoyant’ s UK and Ireland-based Security Operations Centre
( SOC). This provides continuous 24 / 7 monitoring and rapid response aligned to OCG’ s security objectives.
OCG also benefits from a Digital Forensics and Incident Response( DFIR) retainer, ensuring immediate access to expert support for escalations, incident containment and proactive assessments.
Furthermore, BlueVoyant delivers comprehensive third party risk management( TPRM), which provides continuous monitoring of OCG’ s extensive supplier network, pre-procurement assessments and directed remediation for critical vendors.
