This is the process of identifying and quantifying security vulnerabilities in an environment with an in-depth evaluation of a client’s information security posture, indicating weaknesses as well as providing the appropriate mitigation procedures to either eliminate those weaknesses or reduce them to an acceptable level of risk.
Vulnerability Assessments would include the following steps:-
Catalog assets and resources in a system
Identify the security vulnerabilities or potential threats to each resource
Assign quantifiable value and importance to the resources
Mitigate or eliminate the most serious vulnerabilities for the most valuable resources
A Compromise Assessment is run by placing multiple diagnostic utilities within your network to look for Indicators of Compromise or “IOCs.” These IOCs are the telltale evidence of malicious activities that occur on systems, or between systems. IOCs can include signatures of known-bad files, processes, or URLs. But IOCs can also be based on patterns of known-bad behaviour.
Compromise Assessments look for both signature-based and behaviour based evidence of attacks because current malware and attackers now circumvent traditional security detection methods. Adding this method of assessment greatly increases your chances to identify malicious software or hackers. We fabricated this assessment to meet your business goals with speed, scale, and productivity.
Web Application Security Assessment will comprehensively appraise the security of an application. These tests are carried out from both the authenticated and unauthenticated perspective and will offer an evaluation of the sites security posture from both valid users who aim to escalate access privileges and unauthorised users.
A Mobile Application Security Assessment looks at the security and compliance risks of your entire solution from the app on the device, the backend systems, the network the app connects to, and the interaction and data flow between them.
Security experts well-versed in application development and coding who know the weaknesses act as threat actors and try to exploit and will thoroughly evaluate your security controls and provide actionable steps you can take.
Cyber Essentials is a UK government scheme supported by the NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre) that sets out five basic security controls to protect organisations from around 80% of common cyber-attacks. The scheme’s certification process is managed by the IASME Consortium, which licenses certification bodies to carry out Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications.
Cyber Essentials is designed to help organisations of any size demonstrate their commitment to cyber security – while keeping the approach simple, and the costs low.
All our Cyber Essentials Plus packages include an external vulnerability scan that covers up to 16 IP addresses. This scan is conducted online by our expert penetration testing team to ensure that there are no known vulnerabilities present on your Internet-facing networks and applications.
All our Cyber Essentials Plus packages are based on on-site testing at one location, of one type of user account, on up to ten sample devices. Additional workstations, mobile devices and build types may need to be tested to meet the sampling requirements of the scheme.
