IT Security Profile Assessment

Applied Trust's Security Profile Assessment is a high-impact audit of security vulnerabilities at your organization that are visible from the outside. This targeted approach gives you the information you need to fix your most critical network security gaps, by identifying and prioritizing areas of risk. This assessment measures risk from the network perspective, with a focus on infrastructure vulnerabilities in routers, firewalls, DNS, Internet servers, and all other network-visible hosts.

Benefits:

  • Provides a written inventory of current server and network vulnerabilities prioritized by risk to your organization.
  • Validates the effectiveness of existing network security infrastructure.
  • Enumerates recommendations for mitigating risks, including cost and effort estimates.
  • Raises awareness to support security training, hardware, or software expenditure.
At Applied Trust, infrastructure security experts perform and review each assessment. We are not affiliated with any vendor, have no preconceptions about your organization, and approach the assessment with no technology bias. This objectivity, combined with our expertise and experience in infrastructure security, ensures accurate findings and realistic recommendations.

Our Security Profile Assessment is available as a one-time service or a periodic service (quarterly, annually, etc.). In addition to the benefits of a one-time assessment, the periodic service enables you to track your risk over time, with the ability to measure changes and trends in your security risk. New exposures are constantly created by configuration changes, new services or software, and vendor security announcements, making it difficult to manage for security. Applied Trust's periodic Security Profile Assessment Service is the best way to maintain vigilance over network security, while avoiding the expensive overhead of purchasing software and training for your staff and dedicating hours of engineer time every day to keep up with the latest security issues.

Applied Trust can perform a Security Profile Assessment remotely, typically in less than two weeks' time. We work closely with your IT staff to ensure the assessment has no impact on your business. This is possible because our approach gathers information about security vulnerabilities without actually exploiting those vulnerabilities. At your request, we can perform an assessment without the assistance of your IT staff.

Applied Trust has several other assessments to meet your needs, including policy assessment, IDS testing, internal security assessment, and DoS testing.
