Vulnerability Assessment

Identifying vulnerabilities in your network is the first step to improving your overall risk and security posture. A vulnerability assessment tests all network services, including; web sites, email, databases, file servers and wireless for known vulnerabilities such as misconfiguration errors, weaknesses in authentication, coding errors, missing patches and other exploitable conditions. The state of the network is then compared to industry best practices, regulations (PCI-DSS, GLBA, SOX, DPA) and standards (ISO 17799, now ISO 27001/27002) in order to identify high value "quick fix" controls and once the vulnerabilities are validated steps for remediation are provided.

Penetration Testing

Penetration Tests are very similar to a vulnerability assessment but instead of focusing simply on known vulnerabilities, we discover unknown vulnerabilities and dive much deeper by exploiting software configuration errors, poor access controls, old and outdated software as well as human elements through social engineering if requested. The end goal of a penetration test is to identify systemic vulnerabilities and those things that would be missed during a vulnerability assessment with the objective of accessing important and sensitive electronically stored information by utilizing similar methods as a real attacker.

Compliance

Companies today are subject to a wide range of standards and regulatory compliance requirements, no longer do you have to operate in a "regulated industry" to be subject to data storage regulations. If you process credit cards or ACH transactions, store sensitive personal information such as social security number or dates of birth or mail marketing materials you are subject to industry standards as well as federal and state regulations. Keeping track of these regulations is time intensive and new compliance requirements are always in development. Since we do not provide attestation services, we can help you identify gaps in your compliance as well as advise you on the best path to reach your goals.
