Innovative Cybersecurity and Compliance Solutions for an Evolving Landscape

By Trevor Horwitz, CISO and Founder, TrustNet

As a leading provider of cybersecurity and compliance services, TrustNet is dedicated to helping businesses navigate the evolving landscape of cyber threats. TrustNet recently announced two innovative solutions, GhostWatch and iTrust, that further expand TrustNet’s capabilities to help clients meet their cybersecurity and compliance objectives. GhostWatch is an end-to-end managed compliance solution, and iTrust is a platform that provides cyber risk intelligence.

GhostWatch: Expands into Managed Compliance Services

Managing governance, risk, and compliance poses significant challenges for organizations due to the complexity and dynamic nature of regulatory environments. Service providers have an additional burden and must adopt frameworks, such as SOC 2, PCI DSS, HITRUST, ISO 27001, and CMMC, to demonstrate that they have implemented effective controls to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Constantly monitoring, adapting to new regulations, managing risks, and ensuring adherence to internal policies, is resource-intensive and prone to human error.

“GhostWatch by TrustNet delivers a managed compliance solution that addresses these challenges by providing expert oversight, advanced automation technology, and streamlined processes. Our Managed Compliance Service supports multiple frameworks, real-time monitoring, audit management, and reporting. We help clients reduce compliance costs, ensure scalability, and reduce non-compliance risk,” explains Trevor Horwitz, TrustNet CISO.

GhostWatch is a key component of TrustNet’s strategy to provide end-to-end Advisory, Automation, and Assurance services. On the front end, TrustNet executes readiness assessments, identifying control deficiencies, and providing clients with remediation roadmaps. In the middle layer, TrustNet seamlessly integrates GhostWatch with clients’ tech stack, supporting +100 frameworks, control libraries, automated evidence-collection processes, and pre-certification audit-readiness assessments. GhostWatch automation collects audit evidence, schedules reviews, and manages compliance alerts. Out of the box, GhostWatch natively integrates with hundreds of services, apps, and dev tools. Year-round, the TrustNet dedicated compliance experts optimize compliance tasks, monitor compliance activities, and manage audits, providing a seamless fit with existing business processes and workflows. TrustNet’s assurance team manages the last mile, executing assurance engagements and audits for SOC 2, PCI DSS, HITRUST, ISO 27001, CMMC, and other frameworks.

iTrust: The world’s most intelligent cyber risk ratings

Cybersecurity has become a top issue in the boardroom. Cyber risks are growing fast and pose a significant threat to the financial health of businesses. One of the biggest challenges for executive management is understanding their cybersecurity risks. Are systems adequately secured? Where are the vulnerabilities? Are vendors effectively safeguarding sensitive data?

iTrust is a cybersecurity platform that helps businesses understand their cybersecurity posture by providing risk ratings and intelligence. iTrust identifies, collects, and analyzes billions of metrics, delivering an AI-powered 360-degree view of cybersecurity and compliance risks. Metrics include network security, DNS resilience, web application security, hacker threats, patching cadence, insider threats, compliance status (PCI, SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, etc.), and breach metrics. The platform extends beyond the organization’s boundary and simultaneously monitors third-party vendors and the hidden risks they pose to an organization.

iTrust is connected to a global community of threat researchers and security professionals, with 200,000 contributors in 140 countries and more than 20,000,000 daily threat indicators.

“iTrust lays the foundation for cybersecurity and compliance transparency and accountability. Our ultimate objective is to help build trusted relationships between businesses and their customers, partners, and vendors,” adds Horwitz.

Competitive Edge
The introduction of GhostWatch and iTrust elevates TrustNet’s capabilities, providing comprehensive solutions across Advisory, Automation, and Assurance. GhostWatch managed compliance services and iTrust cyber risk intelligence are commercially available worldwide.

“Innovation is not about predicting the future but creating it. We are relentlessly focused on reimagining what is possible to deliver solutions that make a significant impact,” adds Horwitz.
