Most business leaders recognise the importance of data security to protect their business sensitive information and provide confidentiality to their clients. Most business leaders also recognise the costs associated with poor IT service availability, and the consequential impact of a foreign network intruder, and the risk to data integrity that brings.
ISN Solutions Security Audit
In response to these valid and real concerns, most organisations implement a number of precautionary measures to prevent or mitigate the risk of such losses.
This leaves business with a burning question. How do they measure the effectiveness of their precautionary measures and what is their current level of risk?
ISN Solutions security audits help our clients demonstrate that adequate safeguards are in place, and they continue to be effective against known vulnerabilities. This not only provides peace of mind but also can be used to demonstrate compliance against a growing list of regulatory bodies.
ISN consultants use industry leading techniques to make assessments of networks and highlight possible areas of weaknesses within IT infrastructure or security policy. Since no amount of technology can illuminate the human risks, ISN consultants can use social engineering techniques to ascertain the level of “good computing” awareness within a company's user community. Remediation in these cases often is simply better user education.
At ISN, we tailor our audits and assessments to fit each of our client's requirements and concerns.
As a guide, ISN security audits often comprise of the following:-
- Perimeter penetration and vulnerability assessment
- Identification of exploitable OS and services vulnerabilities with network devices
- Response to social engineering techniques to phishing, spear phishing, spam and other email threats
- Web security and web-based attack assessment
- Patch management verification
- ISN testing methodologies are compliant with PCI, GLBA, SOX, and HIPAA practices.
