Security Assessment
IT Security Assessment
Security Auditing
Cyber attackers are developing new ways to target business and individual customers every day. Although your organization may provide the best products and customer service, you can ensure a bad customer experience with one IT security breach. To keep up a reputable business, understanding the vulnerabilities of your IT system is crucial. This is where an assessment from Trust Us Technologies comes in.
What is a Security Assessment?
A security assessment that consists of a series of tests that evaluate the current security position of an information system or organization. Depending on your current cybersecurity solutions, your security assessment may work to either find as many vulnerabilities as possible or to test your IT system against potential specific attack threats.
After gathering a clear understanding of where you stand, Trust Us Technologies can offer recommendations for improvement. There are several types of tests that may be included in your security assessment.
When Do You Need a Security Assessment?
The bottom line, if you haven’t been monitoring the security of your system, the sooner you get an assessment, the better. Businesses often question whether the IT system they use is involved enough to require managed IT services. If you’re trying to decide if you need a cybersecurity consultant, it’s probably time for an assessment.
These Are a Few Signs Your Company Needs a Security Assessment.
You're a small business.
Cyber attacks are a growing threat for small businesses and the U.S economy. Small businesses may be more at risk because cybercriminals assume (often correctly) they are easier to breach.
You're on the cloud.
Cloud computing gives attackers new methods to access information.
You've never had an assessment.
If you’ve never had a security assessment or it’s been a few years since your last check-up, it’s time for a new plan. New threats are created every day and your company needs to be up-to-date to eliminate these dangers.
You need to meet local, state, or federal compliance standards.
Noncompliance is an expensive mistake to make. An IT solutions company can ensure you maintain current compliance standards.
Do you know where your data is?
You might have highly confidential data stored on a cell phone, laptop or server that does not have sufficient defenses — or perhaps any defenses at all.
You've never checked for shadow IT
Shadow IT are IT projects (like cloud services) that are managed outside of, and without the knowledge of, the IT department. While shadow IT can improve employee productivity and drive innovation, it can also introduce serious security risks to your organization through data leaks, potential compliance violations, and more.
Security Assessment Types
Vulnerability Assessment
If you’re new to the world of IT security, this is likely the first step to get you started in the right direction. A vulnerability assessment is used to evaluate and prioritize all potential risks and help you build a plan to eliminate the most dangerous ones.
Risk Assessment
Trust Us Technologies will analyze your IT related workflows such as employee access controls, security management, and other administrative factors that can leave you with vulnerabilities that don’t show just by running automated scans like our competitors.
Audit
Frequently used to meet compliance standards, audits test your security against a certain standard. The results of this test will offer the changes you need to make to achieve compliance.
