Step 1 – Regular Security Audits
ITCS security audits provide you with a detailed assessment, used for identifying vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks. Our scans help organisations discover and address security weaknesses in their IT infrastructure. Here are some of the aspects covered by our audit reports:
ITCS security scans target network services running on systems, such as web servers, email servers, FTP servers, and more. It identifies open ports and checks for known vulnerabilities associated with those services.
The scanner assesses the operating systems of target devices, detecting vulnerabilities and misconfigurations specific to the OS.
ITCS security scans examine installed software applications for known vulnerabilities. This includes both server-side applications and client-side applications like web browsers and media players.
The tool identifies misconfigured settings that could lead to security vulnerabilities. This might involve insecure settings in firewalls, routers, or other network devices.
ITCS security scans test the strength of authentication mechanisms and access controls, looking for weak passwords, default credentials, and improper user privileges.
The scanner checks if systems have the latest security patches installed. It identifies missing patches that could leave systems vulnerable to known exploits.
ITCS security scans can identify signs of malware infections, such as suspicious files, processes, or registry entries.
The scanner assesses SSL/TLS certificates and configurations, identifying potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses in encryption.
ITCS security scans analyse network vulnerabilities like open ports, misconfigured firewalls, and potential avenues for attackers to gain unauthorised access.
ITCS security scans analyse network vulnerabilities like open ports, misconfigured firewalls, and potential avenues for attackers to gain unauthorised access.
For organisations with mobile devices in their network, ITCS security scans can assess mobile app vulnerabilities, mobile device configurations, and their security posture.
ITCS security scans can be configured to check for compliance with specific standards and regulations, such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, and others.
The scanner can verify if systems adhere to security policies and guidelines set by the organisation.
ITCS security scans can identify all active hosts on a network, helping organisations keep track of their networked assets.
Step 2 – Cyber Essentials Plus:
Cyber Essentials Plus is an advanced cybersecurity certification program that builds on the basic Cyber Essentials framework. It involves thorough external assessment and testing of an organisation’s IT systems and networks by certified assessors. By identifying vulnerabilities through rigorous penetration testing and verification, Cyber Essentials Plus ensures that an organisation’s security controls are effectively implemented and provides a higher level of confidence in their ability to defend against common cyber threats. This certification showcases an organisation’s commitment to cybersecurity best practices, helps build trust with stakeholders, and enhances its overall cybersecurity posture.
All the benefits of the Security Scans, as listed above.
Cyber Essentials Plus provides a baseline of cybersecurity practices that organisations should have in place. This includes measures like firewall protection, secure configuration, user access control, and malware protection.
Implementing Cyber Essentials Plus helps reduce the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches by ensuring that fundamental security controls are in place and effective.
Displaying the Cyber Essentials Plus badge demonstrates your commitment to cybersecurity and can enhance your reputation with customers, partners, and stakeholders.
Many organisations require their suppliers to have Cyber Essentials Plus certification to ensure that cybersecurity risks are minimised across the supply chain.
Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus can assist in meeting certain regulatory requirements and demonstrate due diligence in protecting sensitive information.
The certification process can raise awareness among employees about the importance of cybersecurity best practices and data protection.
Step 3 – ISO 27001:
Cyber Essentials Plus is an advanced cybersecurity certification program that builds on the basic Cyber Essentials framework. It involves thorough external assessment and testing of an organisation’s IT systems and networks by certified assessors. By identifying vulnerabilities through rigorous penetration testing and verification, Cyber Essentials Plus ensures that an organisation’s security controls are effectively implemented and provides a higher level of confidence in their ability to defend against common cyber threats. This certification showcases an organisation’s commitment to cybersecurity best practices, helps build trust with stakeholders, and enhances its overall cybersecurity posture.
All the benefits of the Security Scans, as listed above.
ISO 27001 provides a comprehensive framework for managing information security risks across the organisation. It covers people, processes, and technology aspects of security.
ISO 27001 employs a risk-based approach to information security, enabling organisations to identify, assess, and manage security risks in a systematic manner.
The ISO 27001 standard emphasises continuous improvement through regular audits, reviews, and updates to security controls, ensuring that security measures remain effective over time.
ISO 27001 helps organisations align with various legal and regulatory requirements related to data protection and information security.
Demonstrating ISO 27001 compliance can instil confidence in customers and partners, assuring them that their data and sensitive information are handled securely.
ISO 27001 certification can differentiate your organisation from competitors, particularly in industries where data security is a critical concern.
ISO 27001 includes requirements for incident response planning and management, ensuring that your organisation is well-prepared to handle security incidents effectively.
ISO 27001 certification can provide third-party assurance to clients, partners, and stakeholders, making it easier to establish and maintain business relationships.
ISO 27001 provides a structured framework for demonstrating compliance with international information security standards, which can be crucial for organisations operating globally.
Incorporating these security standards into your organisation’s IT security strategy demonstrates a commitment to safeguarding data and protecting against cyber threats. However, it’s important to note that certification is a process, and ongoing vigilance is required to ensure that security measures remain effective in an ever-evolving threat landscape
