Security & Compliance

Securing IT infrastructure and assets is paramount to safeguarding against cyber threats and maintaining operational resilience. Audit and compliance serve as essential mechanisms to assess, enforce, and validate the effectiveness of security measures within organizations including those in regulatory industries.

What are the risk areas?

Access Controls

Evaluating the effectiveness of access controls to ensure that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive data and systems.

Network Security

Reviewing network architecture, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and other network security controls to prevent unauthorized access and mitigate security risks.

Identity and Authentication

Verifying the strength of identity verification and authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication, to prevent unauthorized access to systems and resources.

Cloud Integration

Evaluating the security measures implemented for cloud services and integration points, including authentication mechanisms, data encryption in transit and at rest, and access controls to ensure secure integration with cloud platforms and services.

Application Security

Conducting code reviews, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities in software applications.

Data Protection

Assessing the implementation of data encryption, data masking, and data loss prevention measures to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or disclosure.

How can you mitigate?

Code Review

Thoroughly examining source code for security vulnerabilities, coding errors, and adherence to secure coding practices to identify and mitigate potential risks.

Policy and Procedure Review

Reviewing security policies, procedures, and controls to ensure alignment with industry best practices, regulatory requirements, and organizational security objectives.

Vulnerability Assessment

Using automated tools and manual techniques to identify security vulnerabilities in networks, systems, and applications, followed by remediation efforts to address identified issues.

Security Awareness Training

Providing training and awareness programs to educate employees about cybersecurity risks, best practices, and their role in maintaining IT and software security.

Penetration Testing

Simulating real-world cyberattacks to assess the security posture of systems and applications, identify weaknesses, and validate the effectiveness of security controls.
