A Security Posture Assessment (SPA) is a methodical evaluation designed to provide a holistic understanding of an organisation’s cyber-security readiness. It goes beyond simply identifying vulnerabilities in systems and networks. Here’s a breakdown of what our full-scale SPA typically entails:
Security Policy Review: Evaluates the organisation’s security policies and procedures to ensure they are aligned with industry best practices and effectively address current threats.
Security Controls Assessment: Examines the security controls implemented across the organisation, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, access controls, and data encryption. This assessment determines if the controls are adequate, properly configured, and functioning effectively.
Vulnerability Scanning: Identifies weaknesses and vulnerabilities in systems, applications, and network infrastructure that could be exploited by attackers.
Penetration Testing (Optional): Simulates cyber attacks to assess the effectiveness of security controls and identify exploitable vulnerabilities that might not be detected through scanning alone. We also offer a wide range of Penetration Testing related services.
Risk Assessment: Analyses the identified vulnerabilities and weaknesses, considering the likelihood and potential impact of an exploit. This helps prioritise remediation efforts based on risk.
Reporting & Recommendations: A comprehensive report is generated outlining the findings of the assessment, including identified vulnerabilities, control gaps, and risk levels. The report also provides actionable recommendations for improving the organization’s overall security posture.
