Security Assessments
Independant Security Assessments
Insight Empowers Resilience
For organizations that are either just starting to formalize or adopt an official security program, or those looking to gain insight with regards to their existing security posture, an independent security review can provide them with invaluable cyber security gap analysis used to identify those areas that require improvement.
This independent cyber security assessment will review existing technical security controls, environment architecture, and policies/procedures to provide customers with a clear understanding of their current strengths and areas that may require improvement. Each engagement will formulate a clear remediation path to address any issues uncovered.
Benefits & Application
Why Security Assessments?
Independent assessments bring an unbiased and objective perspective, free from internal biases or assumptions. By engaging a third-party expert, individuals gain a comprehensive understanding of their security landscape, uncovering vulnerabilities, and identifying potential risks that may not be apparent to those closely involved in day-to-day operations.
The insights garnered from such assessments empower individuals to make informed decisions, implement robust security measures, and ultimately bolster their overall resilience against cyber threats in an increasingly interconnected and digital world.
- Identify vulnerabilities
- Risk management
- Compliance requirements
- Incident prevention
- Build trust & credibility
- Optimize security investments
- Business continuity
- Technical advancement
You Are Not Alone
Clear Remediation Path
Your security assessment is just the beginning. It is what happens following the engagement that has the greatest impact.
Following each security assessment, an experienced security engineer will review and analyze all findings uncovered during the assessment, then formulate a comprehensive and structured approach to remediating any issues along with enhancing existing controls. All findings are presented in a clear and concise report, with security engineers available to answer any questions you may have or to assist with the remediation efforts.
Independent Analysis
Addressing Defender Bias
Cognitive bias affects us all. Our own personal experiences and preferences impact how we view and interpret information differently, ultimately impacting the decisions we make and the actions we take. It is important to challenge these biases so that we can identify flaws in our thinking which may lead to operational weaknesses.
From a cyber security perspective, independent security assessments are designed to provide an independent and objective assessment of the security polices, procedures, and technologies deployed, removing any bias from the personnel that developed and maintain them.
Frequently Asked Questions
A cybersecurity assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of an organization’s security posture, identifying vulnerabilities, risks, and compliance gaps. It examines technical controls, architecture, policies, and procedures to provide actionable recommendations for strengthening defenses and mitigating potential cyber threats.
A cybersecurity assessment helps organizations:
Identify security vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them
Ensure compliance with industry regulations and standards
Enhance risk management strategies to protect critical assets
Improve incident response readiness for faster recovery
Build trust and credibility with customers and stakeholders
Assessments should be performed at least annually or more frequently based on:
Regulatory requirements (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS)
Significant IT changes (e.g., new infrastructure, cloud adoption)
Security incidents or breaches requiring reassessment
Evolving cyber threats and industry best practices
The duration varies based on the scope and complexity of the organization.
Small businesses – 1 to 2 weeks
Mid-sized organizations – 2 to 4 weeks
Large enterprises – 4+ weeks, depending on IT infrastructure and compliance needs
No, our assessments are designed to be minimally invasive and conducted with minimal disruption. Most evaluations occur in the background, and penetration tests or security scans are scheduled during off-peak hours to avoid interruptions.
