Cybersecurity Audits

As a business grows, information sharing grows along with it – with vendors, contractors, partners, and customers. Every one of these digital relationships presents a new set of cyber risks. The need for security and the way in which it is implemented must be balanced in line with the needs of an organisation to operate effectively and to pursue its future goals actively. While it is impossible to eliminate all risks of cyber-attacks, a well-designed program will minimise the negative impact on both short and long-term business goals.

We will conduct the vulnerability assessment and penetration testing in three ways:

Our approach for vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT)

• Information Gathering – Information about the target organisation and its systems, including network devices, servers, applications, cloud-based virtual servers/applications, and their integration points will be collected through active and passive enumeration techniques.
• Planning and Analysis - Analyse the gathered information from the attacker's perspective (outsider/insider) and systematically develop the plan to conduct the vulnerability assessment.
• Vulnerability Identification – Perform automated scanning and manual specially crafted tests to identify the vulnerabilities and remove the false positives by additional verification. Further, plan the activities for penetration testing.
• Penetration Testing - Initiate controlled pentest activities in a non-destructive way, to gain access to systems and business-critical data.
• Reporting – A executive management report and a detailed technical report is shared with the organisation with practical recommendations (both short term and long term).
