ASSESSMENT SERVICES

Cybercriminals don’t always choose the flashiest targets - they go after the easiest ones, which in most cases mean those with limited defenses. And while 64% of small and medium-sized businesses view themselves as too small to be targets of a cyberattack, the reality is that nearly half of all cyberattacks target these organizations. Our assessment services aim to close this perception gap by identifying where your business is under-protected. Examples of our assessments include:

  • Penetration testing of your internal and external network, applications, and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions

  • Regulatory readiness assessments to determine your organization’s compliance with regulatory requirements including PCI, GDPR, HIPAA, and other data security and privacy legislation.

  • End-to-end third-party risk management capabilities provided throughout the vendor lifecycle.

  • End user security awareness delivered through a combination of training modules focused on today’s most relevant cybersecurity topics and phishing simulation exercises that test your employees’ ability to identify malicious emails.

You May Think Your Business is Secure. The Data Says Otherwise.

On-Demand Penetration Testing Services Provide You With Security Assurance When You Need It

We provide you with automated penetration testing services that allow you to schedule tests of your network, applications and artificial intelligence solutions whenever you require them.

  • Our Automated Network Penetration Testing Platform utilizes an agent to essentially act as a hacker on your network - impersonating users while it looks for sensitive data, performs exploits, conducts man-in the middle attacks, cracks password hashes, and escalates privileges. Our testing methodology goes beyond identifying vulnerabilities by demonstrating what happens if a vulnerability is exploited by an attacker. We see what a hacker sees on your network before they do.

  • Our AppSec Platform provides comprehensive visibility across your applications by performing vulnerability scanning in both AI-generated and custom developed code and comprehensive testing of your cloud applications to identify vulnerabilities, exposed data, misconfigurations, and other runtime threats that can be exploited by an attacker.

  • If you’re looking for assurance on AI, we’re ahead of the game. Our AppSec platform both detects the AI frameworks utilized by your applications and, using our AI Behavioral Testing, provides you with the ability to launch hundreds of simulated attacks to detect IA-specific risks including prompt injections, hallucinations, and social engineering.

The Regulatory Landscape For Security and Privacy Continues to Evolve. Are You Evolving With It?

Many organizations are subject to regulations requiring specific security capabilities to protect their sensitive information. Examples of these regulatory requirements are private schools adherence to FERPA, organizations using personally identifiable data from the EU must comply with GDPR, organizations that process credit cards must comply with PCI requirements and healthcare and public health organizations must comply with HIPAA. Non-compliance with these regulations can result in hefty fines.

  • Rapidly changing regulatory landscape

  • Increased fines associated with regulatory non-compliance

  • Issuance of US Executive Orders on improving the nation’s cybersecurity

  • Recent updates to HIPAA requirements, making compliance more challenging for smaller health facilities and clinics

Third-Party Risk Reviews

Your cybersecurity posture is only as strong as the weakest link in your ecosystem. As companies are increasingly reliant on third-parties to provide their most critical business technology and technical support, these working arrangements introduce unique risks that must be managed appropriately. If one of your vendors suffers a cyberattack, system outage, or data breach, this could directly impact your organization. We can assist you in managing third-party risk throughout the vendor lifecycle. Our third-party assurance services include:

  • Performing initial risk assessments/due diligence

  • Negotiating contract terms

  • Monitoring the vendor’s on-going performance and compliance with contractual requirements

  • Executing right-to-audit clauses.

    Sometimes no matter how well you’ve protected your front door, there’s always a side entrance left open.

Your People Are Your First and Last Line of Defense Against Security Threats

Your company’s success is greatly defined by the ideas, innovation, and ingenuity offered by your employees. However, your employees are also human, making them fallible to a cybercriminal that maliciously targets them for attack. Human error is the leading cause of security breaches, with 98% of incidents involving some type of social engineering. Create a culture of awareness to help ensure that your employees possess the security literacy necessary to recognize a potential security threat that may ultimately prevent or mitigate the damage caused by a cyberattack.

  • We provide security awareness training delivered to your employees individually via bite-size modules that focus on cybersecurity topics and cyberattacks relevant to your business environment.

  • Through a regular cadence of phishing simulation testing, employees are educated on how to identify and avoid potential security threats delivered by cybercriminals via email.
