LBMC announced that it has earned the Trusted Cloud Consultant trustmark from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining and raising awareness of best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment. As a qualified Trusted Cloud Consultant (TCC), LBMC is ideally suited to provide cloud security consulting, including assessment and remediation services, to enterprise organizations looking to improve their cloud security postures.
“LBMC is proud to be a qualified Trusted Cloud Consultant with CSA, and we look forward to helping our clients elevate security awareness around the cloud services they offer and consume,” stated Brian Willis, Senior Manager at LBMC.
Despite the fact that virtually all organizations use the cloud, less than half utilize vendors or tools to quantify their risk. The Trusted Cloud Consultant Program lets cybersecurity consulting organizations and professionals enhance their cloud relevance, providing them with a broad understanding of CSA’s tools and best practices, including but not limited to secure cloud design, cloud architecture, secure cloud implementation, and cloud information security programs, as well as cloud assessment and compliance, risk management, and cloud security governance.
LBMC is deeply committed to ensuring the highest standards of cybersecurity for its clients. The firm recognizes the growing threat landscape in cloud computing environments, as well as the advanced security measures needed to safeguard sensitive data and maintain customer trust. By offering services like CSA Star assessments, penetration testing, cloud configuration audits, and vendor risk assessments, LBMC helps organizations not only protect their information but also remain compliant with industry regulations.
LBMC also plays an active role in advancing the broader industry. As a regular contributor to the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), LBMC shares its expertise in creating and maintaining secure cloud computing environments. This involvement demonstrates LBMC’s leadership and dedication to promoting best practices in cloud security.
“Cloud environments are unique and have vastly different security challenges than traditional environments. LBMC has earned the TCC Trustmark through their high level of cybersecurity expertise and ongoing commitment to cloud security,” stated Jim Reavis, CEO of the Cloud Security Alliance.
