applications for intrusion vectors. We support all our findings and
recommendations with formal documentation that can become a foundation for
your security infrastructure.
Do you
understand the risks/ vulnerabilities within your company?
The rapid pace of network,
platform, and applications
development
has opened up risks and vulnerabilities often unforeseen by technical and
management staffs. These vulnerabilities may exist in any of your
processing environments and a successful break-in may damage your company’s
reputation, impact future sales, result in loss of customer confidence, along
with various legal and regulatory ramifications.
What
must I do to identify risks and exposures?
Finding weaknesses in your
security implementation is crucial to the success of your company and its
reputation. Secure20 offers its clients a full range of assessment services
that will assist in identifying and mitigating security risks and exposures in
a timely manner. This work is done by Secure20’s highly qualified professional
services team using proven security processes and tools that will effectively
uncover any security flaws in your environment. When complete, our
professionals will meet with the appropriate groups within your company to
understand your processing environment and create a plan to find existing
risks and vulnerabilities in those systems considered mission-critical to your
company.
What Types of Assessments does
Secure20 offer?
Enterprise Security Assessment
The
Enterprise Security Assessment includes an in-depth review of your
organization’s IT security processes and related documentation selected from
the following areas: security policy and standards, security organizational
structure and management, asset classification, system access controls,
monitoring controls, business continuity readiness, change control processes,
and compliance to industry standards of due care.
Application Security Assessment
The Application Security
Assessment will include an end-to-end review of the application’s overall
architecture, interfaces, and control mechanisms to ensure security,
integrity, and availability. The review will assess the controls surrounding
the application and its data to ensure that while in storage and in
transmission the data is secure from unauthorized access. A review of the
security processes supporting this application will also be performed to
ensure that only authorized personnel with a need-to-know will have access to
the programs and data. Comprehensive audit records and reporting trails are
crucial in determining the series of events leading up to a security breach.
Our review will determine the adequacy of these audit mechanisms and recommend
solutions as appropriate.
Network Security Assessment
The
Network Security Assessment will include: An in-depth review of your
overall network architecture to determine how it effectively isolates
untrusted outside networks from gaining access to your internal trusted
networks and systems.
A review of your internal
network design to determine proper segmentation is achieved to prevent
unauthorized access.
A review
of the security design of your selected internal network security components
(routers, remote access servers, bridges, gateways, etc.) to determine if any
of their functions or placement in the architecture provided by them could
cause undesirable results.
