Excellence From Start To Finish **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tyler V. | Advisory Board Member - Gurulize, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2024 **What do you like best about Framework Security?** Framework has an uncanny ability to make the highly complex simple to understand. Our teams faced a very daunting mountain of work to tighten up security for our systems. Framework came in, assessed our systems, and help us break the mountain down into small digestable tasks that were easy to execute. I also enjoyed their flexibility with contracts, services, and deliverables. The team has bent over backwards to make sure we always have the information we need to succeed, and have opened us up to a whole world of excellence in cybersecurity. Their partnerships and software recommendations have been spot on throughout as well. **What do you dislike about Framework Security?** To be honest, there is nothing to say here. Every time that I have voiced a concern or complaint the Framework team responded well and quickly adapted to accomodate that concern or complaint. **Recommendations to others considering Framework Security:** These guys are the best in the biz with extensive experience in their field. Be open to their guidance because they genuinely know what they are talking about. If they do not know the answer to a question, know that they definitely have the network in place to find out quickly. Lastly, be candid and transparent with them throughout the process. It is a group of seasoned professionals who want to know how to get better with each and every interaction and project. **What problems is Framework Security solving and how is that benefiting you?** My company is a medium-sized business in the real estate industry. Historically, there was never a true focus on cybersecurity. We brought Framework on in a Virtual Chief Security and Information Officer role to help us minimize our risks, implement proper monitoring and response protocols, facilitate cybersecurity awareness training throughout the organization, and to help us build policy in this area from the ground up. ### 3.
