Security Audits.
Leverage our security expertise to protect your business from online threats.
What is a security audit?
A security audit is critical if you’re looking to successfully protect your business from online threats, acting as a preventative measure to reduce the risk of malicious cyber attacks.
Comprehensively examining the integrity of your network solutions to minimise any risk of downtime, our security audits employ a powerful in-depth scanning tool to examine ports, processes, firewall policies and software updates to provide you with a complete security overview of your solution.
This examination produces a detailed report which will include an assessment of the vulnerabilities on your system, its threat level and how much of a risk it poses to your solution.
By performing regular tests, you are securing your solution, safeguarding your brand image and guaranteeing the future of your business.
- Minimise the risk of downtime
- Prevent unauthorised access
- Identify new vulnerabilities
- Provide solutions to re-secure your network
- Classify the grade and severity of any vulnerabilities and highlight the more immediate or urgent risks.
