The average cost of a data breach continues to rise — including regulatory fines, customer notification, legal fees, and reputational damage. Most breaches result from known vulnerabilities with available patches or misconfigurations that assessments would have identified.
Our security practice follows established frameworks — NIST, CIS Controls, and OWASP. We assess your current posture, prioritize findings by business impact, and implement controls proportionate to your risk tolerance. Deliverables include executive summaries for leadership and technical findings for engineering teams, with clear remediation timelines.
External vulnerability scans weekly or monthly. Internal penetration tests annually or after significant infrastructure changes. Web application tests per release cycle or at least quarterly. Compliance-mandated assessments follow regulatory schedules (PCI DSS quarterly, HIPAA risk analysis annually).
Vulnerability scans are automated, high-level checks that identify known vulnerabilities without exploitation. Penetration tests involve manual human testing attempting to exploit discovered weaknesses — demonstrating actual business impact and chaining multiple vulnerabilities together.
We sign NDAs and business associate agreements where required. Test data uses anonymized or synthetic datasets. Findings reports exclude actual customer data. For on-site testing, we provide isolated testing credentials with access limited to test environments only.
Yes. Our reports include step-by-step remediation instructions, configuration examples, and code snippets. We offer follow-up validation scans to confirm fixes. For complex findings, we provide direct engineering support to implement patches or re-architect vulnerable components.
