Why was Maven X started?

Maven X was started when the team noticed how much businesses in Miami-Dade could improve with a better online experience and valuable business guidance. We have a lot of useful information and experience that can greatly help so many businesses and we know we can do it better than what’s currently available in the market.

Maven is defined as an expert or connoisseur in something. The X is the placeholder for our services and products.

What makes Maven X different from other consulting companies?

Maven X takes the best from traditional consulting but takes the agile and flexible approach from NextGen Consulting as a Service (CaaS) to deliver a more precise service/product at a much more affordable price point.

7. Maven Cyber Professional Services

What type of a return on investment (ROI) does security assessments provide to an organization?

The returns on security assessments are great and each one matters differently to each organization. A few ROI examples are the following:

Insurance Savings – Most cybersecurity insurance companies will provide discounts to companies who regularly have security audits. Why? Because you’re minimizing your potential risks for a breach making it less likely. 

Due Diligence – Due diligence is your friend following a breach or any security issue at your business. It shows that you are trying to be proactive in securing your business on a regular basis. 

Regulatory – Security assessments are required by almost all regulators. 

Reputation – A breach causes irreparable harm to your reputation. By showing due diligence and trying your best to prevent a breach from happening in the first place is a great way to show your clients that you were working towards your security. 

Money – A breach is going to cost immensely more than a security assessment. 

Do I have to purchase or perform all assessments?

No! Each assessment is independent and applicable to different uses. You pick the assessment that is most applicable to you, your business, your technology, and your security posture. 

Don’t worry, we help you identify and select the best assessment based upon your specific use cases and end goals. 

What type of organizations are at risk from cyber threats?

If you have any sort of digital devices or IT within your business, then you are at risk. 

Cybersecurity risks are rising faster than ever, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. Small to large businesses alike have just as much to lose in a cyber breach.

Why get a cybersecurity assessment?

A cybersecurity assessment is like a physical. It helps you test the health and wellbeing of your cybersecurity, diagnose the problems, and provide the right remedy.

8. Maven PCI

What is included in each PCI DSS tool and template?

Each product is different. You can view each product page and the points in the prices to see what you will specifically receive with each product. 

How do the PCI DSS training courses work?

The employee training can be accessed either through our Maven Edu LMS or your own corporate LMS. The self-service courses are available through our Maven Edu LMS. 

Our PCI DSS training courses are available online and can be accessed at any time. They include interactive quizzes, real-world scenarios, and customizable content to fit the specific needs of your organization. Our courses cover a range of topics, from a generic introduction to PCI DSS to a deep dive on how to assess PCI DSS like a pro.
