Secure Architecture Audit
What is Security Architecture and why do I need it in my organization?
Security architecture is a broad, overarching process that is put in place to make the implementation of security solutions safer. It takes security risks and design mitigations into consideration through a combination of people, process and technology.
The role of security architecture has never been more important in managing your cyber security risks. The growing complexity of the IT landscape and increase in threats means that robust and comprehensive protections must be implemented to protect your company-wide digital assets.
What We Offer?
Our Security Architecture Reviews are a collection of services based on CIS Top 18, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53; designed to evaluate the effectiveness of technical and operational security controls deployed in an organization.
The resulting report will highlight risks associated with the below security domains with an advisory to re-mediate and improve the resilience of the organization’s security posture.
Secure Architecture Review
We begin by understanding the organizations business goals and control objectives and conduct a review using CIS 18 controls and assess the maturity of your security architecture.
In a comprehensive audit, we review the network design, protocols and data flow to and from the network, core technologies that the network is reliant upon to meet its security objectives and assess them against relevant standards, laws & regulations.
Our security architects can carry out a thorough GAP analysis to identify and record the current security status of your IT infrastructure. The objective of the assessment being to use the results to protect critical assets, infrastructure and information by strengthening your security posture.
Network Security Architecture Review
We review your network design, key components, protocols and data flow to and from the network, core technologies that the network is reliant upon to meet its security objectives, and assess them against relevant standards, laws/regulations, and prevailing good practice.
We scan your network for vulnerabilities and look for sensitive information. The resulting report will highlight the security risks in your network security and suggestions to mitigate the risks.
Infrastructure Security Review
Securing your core infrastructure is as important as securing your end-points and your network from external threats. To ensure business continuity and making sure that no unauthorized entity can access your critical assets means having security controls and in place and continuosly monitoring your devices for threats.
We can assess the capability of your Infrastructure, the security controls set on your servers and firewalls. We review the policies and technologies in use (wireless, VOIP, Email), Boundary protection (VPNs, BYOD, Airgaps).
We can provide advice and solutions on how to ensure security throughout your environment and highlight the security risks in your architecture and provide suggestions to mitigate the risks.
Network Device Audit and Configuration Review
We perform configuration reviews of all critical Network and Infrastructure devices (Firewalls, Routers, Switches, Servers).
The architect analyzes Device management environment, Minimum Security Baseline Configuration, Access control policies, Change Management, Patch Management, configuration hardening, Segmentation controls and performs Mapping of device rule base with organization security policy.
We perform the audit and configuration review of the device against industry standards using a mix of automated and manual tests.
