Cyber security assessment service to reduce your data loss worries

Cyber security assessment and testing aim to identify technical and operational weaknesses and address these identified risks to maintain the cyber readiness of an organization. Security testing aims to identify security holes, and contextual threats, and measure the risks affecting the business assets. It is an input to the risk management program.

A proactive cyber security risk assessment and management approach demands regular testing to input cyber security risks based on likelihood and impact into the internal vulnerability management process.

It ensures that business is analysing, classifying and mitigating cyber risks to develop and maintain cyber resilience. This ensures data breach prevention measures are in place, incident response and management measures are in check, regular cyber security assessments to measure and monitor risks. Our team also provides cyber risk assessments aimed at the entire organisation.

How do you perform information security testing and assessment?

Designing and implementing strong security controls is one side of the coin. One of the primary objectives of a cyber threat assessment is to attempt to gain access by bypassing security controls and verify their effectiveness.

The following metrics collectively help a business to assess, analyse and improve its cybersecurity program continuously:

Define specific objectives to measure information security performance in the organisation. This is usually a mix of operational security and performance-related facts and figures unless compliance goals are part of the plan to test against industry best practices.
Regular vulnerability assessments and penetration tests on the target assets to assess the level of risk and effectiveness of information security management through checks against secure configuration baselines, patch management, logging, monitoring and several other data security areas covering extensive security vulnerabilities.
Internal team review of where security weaknesses lie, policies, procedures and implementation of risk remediation measures from cyber assessments findings and cyber security evaluation. This is delivered in the form of comprehensive cyber security assessment reports.

Any other standards needed for specific projects can be included as per customer request. See our pen test blog post for a detailed article and how practicality around cyber attacks is taken into consideration.

Which cybersecurity assessment tools are used?

In order to maintain quality and add value to customer investment, we do not utilise automated scanners that run and report tests. A mixed approach involves a range of open source and commercial pentest tools in addition to multiple scripts/utilities are utilised to uncover hidden and information related vulnerabilities.

Cyber security assessment and management add to your proactive security regime, providing invaluable input into the cyber risk assessment services.

Cyphere’s penetration testers help customers identify and assess the weaknesses in the context of their business. It includes technical findings and process failures such as lack of incident response and management process, lack of awareness, determining methods of bypassing policies, etc.

Following the risk assessment, our debrief program offers risk remediation support to address hidden gaps. We further provide risk remediation services (as part of consultancy services) to address security risks, including all the findings with our expertise. This alone is a budget justification enough to get your security level up and improve security across the organisation.

In terms of the toolset, this includes commercial and proprietary technologies, including a large number of open-source utilities. It is a common myth that sophisticated tools that might not be available to your internal IT department are utilised by security assessors or exaggerated statements around the use of cutting-edge technology such as AI or ML for identifying threats. While such technologies are making breakthroughs, these are yet to be made available at scale in the cyber security domain.

Everything you need to know about vulnerability scanning

Cyber security Assessment Methodology

The very first step as a penetration testing provider remains our quest to gain insight into drivers, business operations, pain points and relevant nuances. As part of this process, we understand the assets that are part of the scope.

It is important to gain grips with the reality, therefore, we always stress on walkthroughs or technical documentation of the assets. After asset walkthroughs, a tailored proposal is designed to meet your business’ specific requirements.

Cyphere’s approach to cyber security involves excellent communication before and during the execution phase. Customer communication medium and frequency are mutually agreed, and relevant parties are kept updated throughout the engagement duration.

Execution phase is followed by data analysis and reporting phase. Cyphere performs analysis on the testing output, evaluates the risk impact and likelihood of exploitation in realistic scenarios before providing action plans to remediate the identified risks.

As part of our engagement process, customers schedule a free of charge debrief with management and technical teams. This session involves remediation plan, assessment QA to ensure that customer contacts are up to date in the language they understand.
