IT Security Assessments

Cyber Security Diagnostics is an assessment that focuses on identifying and addressing immediate cyber security risks. It is ideal for businesses that want to quickly assess their current security posture and take proactive steps to protect themselves from cyberattacks.

The Complete IT Infrastructure Assessment is a comprehensive assessment that evaluates every aspect of your IT infrastructure, from hardware and software to network security and business continuity plans. It is ideal for businesses that want to optimise their IT infrastructure for performance, security, and resilience.

The cost of each assessment will vary, depending on the size and complexity of your organisation's IT infrastructure. We offer a variety of pricing options to fit your budget, and we are always happy to discuss your specific needs and requirements.

The turnaround time for each assessment will also vary depending on the complexity of your IT infrastructure. However, we typically complete assessments within a few weeks.

Vulnerability scanning is a tool that can identify and classify security weaknesses in your IT infrastructure. It can be a valuable tool for identifying potential risks, but it does not provide a complete assessment of your security posture. Penetration testing, on the other hand, is a simulated attack that is designed to exploit identified vulnerabilities and test the effectiveness of your security controls.

The frequency with which you should have your IT infrastructure assessed will depend on the risk profile of your organisation. However, we recommend that businesses have their IT infrastructure assessed at least once a year, and more frequently if they are at high risk of cyberattacks.

In today's increasingly interconnected world, cyber threats are a constant and evolving threat to businesses of all sizes. Proactive cyber security testing is essential for identifying and addressing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers. Regular testing can help you:

• Protect sensitive data - Cyberattacks can result in the theft of sensitive data, such as customer information, financial records, and intellectual property. By testing your defences, you can identify and mitigate vulnerabilities that could put this data at risk.

• Maintain compliance - Many industries have strict cyber security regulations that businesses must comply with. Regular testing can help you ensure that your organisation is meeting these requirements and avoiding the potential penalties for non-compliance.

• Enhance business continuity - Cyberattacks can disrupt business operations and cause financial losses. By testing your IT infrastructure, you can identify and address potential disruptions before they occur.

• Reduce risk - By proactively identifying and addressing vulnerabilities, you can reduce the likelihood of a successful cyberattack. This can help you protect your reputation, avoid legal liability, and save you money in the long run.

There are a number of different ways to test your cyber security posture. The specific methods utilised will depend on the size and complexity of your organisation's IT infrastructure. Some common methods of cyber security testing include:

• Vulnerability scanning - Vulnerability scanners can identify and classify security weaknesses in your IT infrastructure. This can help you prioritise your remediation efforts.

• Penetration testing - Penetration testing is a simulated attack that is designed to exploit identified vulnerabilities and test the effectiveness of your security controls. This can provide you with a more comprehensive assessment of your security posture.

• Social engineering testing - Social engineering testing attempts to trick employees into giving up sensitive information or clicking on malicious links. This can help you identify weaknesses in your organisation's security awareness.

• Red team / blue team exercises - Red team / blue team exercises pit two teams against each other in a simulated attack scenario. This can help you identify and address potential weaknesses in your organisation's incident response plan.

There are a number of resources available to help you stay up-to-date on the latest cyber security threats. These include:

• Cyber security news websites - Websites like SecurityWeek, The Hacker News, and Threatpost provide daily updates on the latest cyber security threats.

• Cyber security blogs - Blogs written by security experts can provide in-depth analysis of specific threats and trends.

• Government and industry reports - Government agencies and industry organisations often publish reports on the latest cyber security threats.

• Vulnerability databases - Vulnerability databases like the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and OffSec’s Exploit Database Archive track known software and hardware vulnerabilities.
