Cybersecurity Assessments & Audits
Cyber threats are evolving — and most attacks succeed due to unseen vulnerabilities or misconfigured systems.
We combine technical analysis with policy reviews to help your organization identify risks, close gaps, and strengthen your defenses.
Why It Matters
Cyber threats are accelerating. Compliance requirements are tightening. Waiting puts your systems, data, and reputation at risk. Now is the time to act — before an incident forces your hand.
60% of SMBs experience a cyberattack annually.
95% of breaches stem from human error or misconfigurations.
Only 40% meet basic compliance standards.
Most threats go undetected for 200+ days. (Detection + Containment)

What We Assess
We perform full-spectrum audits across:
-
Network Security
We assess whether network security controls are implemented and effective in protecting information in transit. This includes reviewing firewall configurations, segmentation practices, and intrusion detection systems to verify that controls are documented, maintained, and monitored.
-
Endpoint & Server Hardening Review
We evaluate whether systems are securely configured in accordance with the standards. The audit includes evidence of hardening baselines, patch management procedures, and deviation tracking to ensure assets remain protected against known threats.
-
Firewall & Configuration Reviews
We review firewall rule sets and system configurations to confirm that access controls are enforced. Our audit seeks documented justification for open ports and verifies that configurations are reviewed periodically and aligned with risk assessments.
-
Policy & Access Control Audits
We examine identity and access management practices to confirm that only authorized individuals have appropriate access rights. The audit includes a review of access provisioning, de-provisioning, and periodic access reviews for users, administrators, and third parties.
-
Vulnerability Scanning & Analysis
We validate that the organization conducts regular vulnerability assessments, as part of its risk treatment and control monitoring. Our review includes evidence of scan reports, risk classification methods, and the timeliness of remediation efforts.
-
Cloud Configuration Assessment
We examine the organization's cloud infrastructure to verify alignment with regulatory/standard requirements. Our audit focuses on whether security configurations—such as access restrictions, encryption practices, and activity logging are properly defined, implemented, and monitored. We evaluate the organization’s understanding of cloud-specific risks, the shared responsibility model, and the effectiveness of controls supporting confidentiality, integrity, and availability in cloud-hosted environments.
-
User Privilege Review
We review privileged account management practices for compliance with regulatory standards. This includes validating that elevated access is granted based on business need, regularly reviewed, and subject to enhanced monitoring or control.
How It Works – Our 4-Step Process
1. Discovery
We initiate the audit by reviewing documented policies, procedures, and risk assessments. Structured interviews and system walk-throughs are conducted to gain context and determine the scope of applicable controls.
2. Assessment
We examine evidence of implemented controls — including logs, scan reports, access records, and system configurations — to assess their alignment with requirements and relevant standards
3. Reporting
Audit findings are compiled in a formal report, highlighting nonconformities, observations, and opportunities for improvement. Each issue is categorized by severity and mapped to the relevant control clause.
4. Recommendation
Where appropriate and within auditor neutrality, we may offer general guidance on remediation priorities. For more detailed corrective action planning, we refer the client to their internal team or an implementation consultant. (We do not audit our own work)
