Visibility – your first line of defence

You can’t protect what you can’t see and gaining an overall understanding of your company’s cybersecurity posture is a very important first step. Visibility across all areas of your attack surface, including policies, on-premises technology, remote workers, cloud suppliers, other third-party services and their associated staff etc. will help you identify any vulnerabilities and other areas of potential weakness.

“39% of UK businesses reported experiencing a cyberattack in the past 12 months, with 31% of medium to large businesses reporting breaches or attacks at least once a week.”

– UK Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS)

How does a Security Posture Assessment work?

Step 2 – Data gathering

Discovery agents are deployed at key points on your network/s (internal, cloud and hybrid) to identify network traffic meta data and identify digital assets. Metadata on assets is processed and analysed within our secure cloud centres and presented to our security consultants for validation and posture assessment. No payload data is sent outside your organisation.

Step 3 – Collaborative consultation

Consultants work with your staff to correctly classify asset criticality, relative vulnerability.

Step 4 – Discovery

During discovery, we will during which we will work with your staff to review various source materials related to each individual Area of Concern (AoC) and the wider business strategy. This will ensure we understand the systems in place and the context in which they operate including valuable user-centric context.

Step 5 – Reporting

Our team will review and analyse the information gathered and provide you with a report of the activities undertaken and recommended improvement opportunities. The report will also contain details of our findings, the associated gap analysis and risk assessment undertaken.
