A security vulnerability assessment is the process of defining, identifying, classifying and prioritising vulnerabilities in computer systems, applications and network infrastructures.
This type of security assessment will provide organisations with the necessary knowledge, awareness and risk context to understand the threats to the business and how to mitigate the risks appropriately.
Any company that wants to understand their risk profile, both internally and externally will benefit from a vulnerability assessment. Many common attacks can be resolved through basic system security configuration, undertaking a vulnerability assessment will provide actionable information to correct any identified issues.
Cyber attacks often not only results in the loss of your network, down time and disruption, but also significant reputational damage and data protection fines. That’s why understanding where your system vulnerabilities lie is so crucial.
In addition to our Microsoft expertise, we are CREST, SANS and QCHQ certified and fully aligned with Government best practice security policies and procedures.
With over 50% of our Security Operations Centre team comprising of ex-military personnel, we can say with confidence that our team are able to effectively identify your risks and support your mission to improve business security.
Robust security goes beyond firewalls and passwords – when multiple users have access to valuable data, ensuring the right people have access to specific areas of your network is critical. As such, gaining complete visibility over your network with a vulnerability assessment is a necessity.
Understandably, not all organisations have the resource to fund a full internal cyber team, so for those looking to manage their systems effectively, without the large expense, undertaking a vulnerability assessment is a great low cost solution.
At Stripe OLT, we provide two types of assessment. The first is a Vulnerability Management Service, this support contract involves recurring monthly scans, including patching and system maintenance. This service is available for organisations who are looking to take control of system vulnerabilities and manage risk, manage user device security and those who hold data accessed by multiple users but do not have the inhouse expertise to manage it
The second service is a One-Off Vulnerability Scan – This is suited to organisations that need to check their devices are being managed correctly. This could be those looking into a recurring security issue or perhaps a business that needs to adapt their polocies to suit a change in working processes.
The first stage of this service is to review your existing network. This review will provide us with an understanding into how your systems operate and what may be required to bring you in line with cyber-security best practice standards, like Cyber Essentials PLUS.
A core part of this support service is to provide a monthly health report, which will include:
Alongside this, our team of cyber experts will also provide suggestions on where you could improve further. This may be possible technology upgrades, design updates, or areas we have observed to be high risk, like lax password security.
Visibility over your security is essential, and this support service is there to keep you up to date and in the know.
If you’re looking for a solution that is not quite as robust as the monthly Vulnerability Management Service, but want to understand how your current security solution is performing, we are also equipped to provide a One-Off Vulnerability Scan.
This assessment is comprised of a series of internal and external scans, following which we will detail what was identified, an overview of all the vulnerabilities discovered and how this affects your business. Finally, we’ll also provide a report on recommended next steps and how you could improve.
As a Microsoft Gold Partner, specialising in Cloud Technology, we have both the knowledge and experience to keep on premise and cloud environments safe and secure. In combining our cloud expertise with a plethora of security certifications we are able to offer complete, secure-cloud solutions.
A vulnerability assessment is the first step towards understanding your security posture, and in utilising our expertise you will gain an immediate understanding of your existing security systems and network, allowing your to make improvements, wherever they may be required.
