Security Assessment Services

We check the effectiveness of security controls in place:

• Technology controls, such as security configurations of hardware and software, security tools.
• Process controls, e.g., security monitoring, incident response and system recovery.
• People controls: security awareness of the employees.

We detect vulnerabilities by scanning:

• Network, e.g., servers, workstations, network interface devices.
• Applications: web, mobile, and desktop apps.
• Databases.

We simulate real-world attacks to find vulnerabilities and attempt to penetrate the system through:

• Internal networks.
• Publicly accessible systems, such as customer-facing apps, IoT systems, email services.
• Remote access infrastructure.

To check employees’ resilience to social engineering attacks, we simulate:

• Phishing scam – malicious emails sent to multiple employees.
• Spear phishing – emails targeting specific employees (e.g., holding access to restricted information).
• Whaling – emails targeting C-level executives.
• Vishing – manipulative phone calls.
• Smishing – manipulative mobile text messages.

To evaluate cybersecurity risks, we:

• Identify security vulnerabilities in policies and procedures, IT environment, human behavior.
• Define security threats posed by the discovered vulnerabilities: data theft, malware spread, account takeover, etc.
• Assess the likelihood and severity of potential consequences in case of vulnerability exploitation.

To help companies identify gaps and strengthen their compliance, we:

• Assess the existing security controls against the relevant standards, e.g., HIPAA, PCI DSS/PCI SSF, GDPR, NYDFS.
• Evaluate the employees' awareness of applicable standards and regulations.
• Provide remediation guidance to manage compliance risks.
• Help close compliance gaps, e.g., design and implement a network architecture compliant with a required standard, migrate to a complaint cloud, set up a data encryption mechanism.

• Security audit report.
• Penetration testing and vulnerability assessment reports describing and prioritizing the detected vulnerabilities.
• Social engineering campaign report.
• Risk assessment report.
• Compliance gap analysis report.
• Network configuration diagrams.
• Report on the existing gaps in the IT policies and procedures.
• Report on the staff’s cyber awareness.
• Report on the state of IT security training materials.

• Remediation guidelines: an IT risk mitigation plan, a list of corrective measures for all the detected vulnerabilities.
• Recommendations on improving policies and procedures: e.g., on how to improve the security training process and corresponding materials to enhance the staff’s security awareness.
• Remediation help: e.g., secure network architecture design, secure software architecture design, a list of software security features.

With hands-on experience in 30+ industries, we assign specialists with the relevant domain expertise to each specific project to ensure deep understanding of the business specifics.

We combine different assessment techniques and tools to detect maximum vulnerabilities at all levels of your IT security system.

We classify vulnerabilities based on their criticality to help you prioritize remediation activities and wisely allocate resources.

We help you pinpoint and strengthen vulnerable areas in your cyberdefense before hackers can take advantage of them.

We leverage our experience with major security standards (PCI DSS, PCI SSF, HIPAA, ISO 27001, GDPR) to help you detect and remediate security gaps hindering your compliance.
