Why should you consider getting a Cyber Security Assessment and Penetration Test?

In today's digital landscape, cybersecurity breaches are plaguing businesses of all sizes. Upon investigation, these breaches often reveal vulnerabilities that could have been easily mitigated with a basic level of cyber awareness and discipline. These issues are precisely the kind that a Cyber Security Assessment can pinpoint and resolve. Unfortunately, many businesses suffer the consequences of these vulnerabilities, enduring substantial losses and irreparable damage to their reputation.

Since 1999, Infortech has been dedicated to providing White-Glove, Tailored IT Services to small and mid-sized businesses in the Bay Area. For a limited time, we are extending our experience and expertise in Cyber Security to other small to mid-sized businesses in the Bay Area through a complimentary Cyber Security Assessment and a Penetration Test. For our ExpertCare and CoManaged Service customers, we perform these assessments periodically.  In addition, we are committing to offering up to four audits for non-customer small to mid-size businesses within our service area at no cost or obligation. Typically, this Level-1 Assessment and Penetration Test comes with a $1200 fee.

This audit offers an unbiased cybersecurity risk score and validation from a qualified third party to determine if you are adequately protected against ransomware and various other cybercrime attacks. Importantly, we collaborate with an impartial, third-party security advisory firm to conduct the scanning and penetration tests, ensuring that the assessment and report remain entirely free from influence or bias on our part.

Here’s How It Works:

  1. After an initial discovery call with the relevant stakeholders at your company, we will provide you with a Mutual Non-disclosure Agreement to safeguard the confidentiality of the assessment findings.
  2. We will assign one of our cyber security consultants to the project, who will interact with your key contact and discuss the process in detail.
  3. The assessment uses state-of-the-art discovery tools to collect metadata information from a few computers in your network.  The tools do not require administrator permissions, are non-invasive, and do not interrupt your business operations.
  4. The consultant will review the collected information, and a report will be generated with the findings and an action plan to mitigate the risks.
  5. Subsequently, we will schedule a call with you to discuss the findings in the report and its implications, and actions plan to address them.

Note... If you so choose, we can perform this assessment discretely without the knowledge of your IT team, our outside IT company. Your time investment is minimal: 15 minutes for the initial meeting and one hour in the second meeting to go over the findings.

The Assessment Report will include...

  1. Security Patches & Vulnerability Management: Discover whether your network exhibits vulnerabilities stemming from patch management issues.
  2. Your Network's Perimeter Defense: In today's digital landscape, multilayered boundaries are crucial, incorporating elements such as firewalls, intrusion prevention, and intrusion detection. Our scanner will assess the configuration of your firewalls and evaluate their effectiveness in generating appropriate alarms.
  3. Identity & Access Management: Ascertain if your team employs outdated, repeated, or easily cracked passwords for network accounts. We will advice you in implementing best security practices for password and credential management. This includes measures such as multi-factor authentication for remote access, stringent password policies for critical and administrative accounts, elimination of default or shared accounts, and more.
  4. Identify Serious Data Leaks: Pinpoint the locations where sensitive data resides within your network and ensure its proper protection. Hackers frequently target both your network and data assets during attacks.
  5. Measure Your Malware Defenses: Evaluate the effectiveness of your cybersecurity stack in responding to simulated virus attacks. Deploying a solution that effectively manages the installation, propagation, and execution of malicious code at multiple points is paramount.
  6. Information for Informed Cybersecurity Decision Making: Gain a clear understanding of your current cybersecurity posture. Determine the functionality of data encryption, assess what information a hacker could potentially access from an infected device, and evaluate your network's resilience in the face of an attack, even if it originates from a single machine.

NOTE: ALL OF OUR FINDINGS AND EVERYTHING WE DISCUSS WILL REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL PER THE MUTUAL NDA.
