Uncover your weaknesses to stay ahead of the latest threats
What is a Security assessment?
A security and infrastructure assessment identifies and documents key security controls in your IT environment. When your organization performs a security assessment, it allows you to review your technology portfolio from the view of a prospective attacker.
The report will help technology managers make informed decisions on where to allocate resources, what managed security tools they need to invest in, and what additional security controls need to be acquired.
How does a security assessment work?
Security assessments can range from high-level generalized reports to in-depth analyses. Factors that impact the depth of the assessment model include company size, expected growth rate, technology stack, and resources.
Dynamic Quest’s security assessments comprise the following steps:
Identification
We document all the critical components of your technology infrastructure, mapping out how your data is stored, accessed, and transmitted through these resources.
Assessment
Once we’ve identified your critical technology assets, we evaluate the risks they face, the likelihood of an attack, and the strength of your current security measures.
Mitigation
For each critical asset, we document and recommend tailored mitigation strategies to address vulnerabilities effectively.
Prevention
We implement the necessary security measures and controls to protect your technology infrastructure, network, software, employees, and data.
What problems does a security assessment solve?
Conducting a thorough security assessment addresses various challenges:
Unidentified vulnerabilities
By assessing your infrastructure, a security assessment uncovers hidden vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit, allowing you to address them before they become a threat.
Ineffective security measures
A security assessment evaluates the effectiveness of your current security protocols, helping identify gaps or outdated measures that could put your business at risk.
Noncompliance risks
Security assessments identify potential compliance issues that could lead to costly fines and legal issues.
What industries require a security assessment for compliance?
Any organization that collects personally identifiable information (PII) or personal health information (PHI) should undergo an annual risk assessment. These organizations must also properly store their clients' sensitive data such as Social Security numbers, passport details, medical history, and financial information.
There are various laws, regulations, and standards that dictate what assessment is needed for particular businesses. Some governing bodies include the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the Federal Information Security Management Act.
