Why Perform Cybersecurity Assessments?

Just one breach can cause monumental damage to your business, so it’s critical to actively assess your company’s cybersecurity status. Security threats can come from both internal and external sources. Your customers’ and employees’ personally identifiable information (PII), as well as your company’s ability to conduct business, could be at risk. We perform cybersecurity assessments to identify vulnerabilities in your systems and provide you a clear picture of your company’s cybersecurity footprint, including a detailed report of our findings along with suggestions for remediating that are prioritized in order of importance.

Some of our services include:

Network Assessments

Warren Averett Technology Group uses tools and onsite visual assessments to conduct cybersecurity assessment services, evaluating the status of your network infrastructure to allow you to see what needs to be strengthened in your security plan. This includes looking at the age of your equipment, equipment configurations, connectivity methods, current technical security footprint and system software versions. Considering the changing nature of technical environments, it’s recommended that companies undergo yearly assessments.

Business Continuity/Backup Solution and Redundancy Evaluation

Disasters can come from Mother Nature, unwanted intruders and, unfortunately, humankind. The worst time to find out that your data backup is insufficient is when you need it. Many companies think they are backing up items when they aren’t. Without a review, you may not realize you are missing important pieces. We offer cybersecurity assessment services to review your current backup solution, including a report on the how, what and when of your current backup methods. Our redundancy evaluation examines where all the backups are held, how they are stored and how backed up information would be retrieved. We provide you with a report of findings that includes best practice recommendations.

Cybersecurity Testing and Gap Analysis

It’s important to perform a cybersecurity assessment to determine where software and system vulnerabilities exist giving you an opportunity to reduce your chances of encountering a cybersecurity breach. Hackers can exploit software bugs and flaws to compromise your systems. Typical vulnerabilities include misconfigured systems, missing software patches, encryption weaknesses and application bugs. During a gap analysis, our professionals pinpoint weaknesses in your infrastructure allowing you to know where your companies’ risks are and to then determine a plan for remediation that allows you to decide the amount of risk you are willing to accept.

  • Web Application Testing – determines security holes accessible through web applications into your corporate assets
  • Social Engineering (Email Testing/Spear Phishing) – determines training levels of personnel for email and physical attacks
  • Internal Vulnerability Testing – determines security holes from inside your organization

Incident Response Testing

It is always recommended that companies have an incident response plan in place. Through a different type of cybersecurity assessment, we can review and test your company’s current incident response plan. This allows you to fine-tune things that need to change or add to your plan before an actual incident. We can also provide advice and assist in developing an incident response plan that is based on your company’s needs if you do not already have one in place. We can take your team through incident response testing using checklists, walk-throughs and/or tabletop exercises, thus giving you and your team experience in what should take place when an incident occurs.
