On February 10, 2024, Dr. Shekhar Ashok Pawar was awarded the “Excellence in Innovation in Cybersecurity” by AACCI for inventing the Business Domain Specific Least Cybersecurity Controls Implementation (BDSLCCI) Framework. This framework, aimed at micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), provides a cost-effective and reliable cybersecurity solution. Dr. Pawar’s research revealed the unique challenges faced by SMBs, leading to the creation of BDSLCCI as a tailored cybersecurity framework. BDSLCCI offers certifications and assessments at three different levels, allowing SMBs to enhance their cybersecurity posture incrementally.
SecureClaw, Dr. Pawar’s venture, is dedicated to securing MSMEs globally. The BDSLCCI framework focuses on aligning cybersecurity controls with each organization’s unique business domain and mission-critical assets. By implementing the recommended controls and passing assessment criteria, organizations receive a BDSLCCI Certificate, Transcript, and Web Analytics Report showcasing the cybersecurity coverage and effectiveness. The framework offers customization options for businesses of all sizes, helping them achieve a higher level of cyber resilience.
With increasing cyber threats targeting small businesses, the BDSLCCI framework fills a critical gap in providing practical and efficient cybersecurity solutions for MSMEs. Through continuous research and enhancements, SecureClaw aims to empower SMBs with the tools and guidance needed to build a strong cybersecurity posture and protect their vital assets.
