Technical Security Assessments
Validate Implementation and Security Configuration of your IT Systems
Technical Security Assessments
Service Overview
A Technical Assessment provides you with an understanding of the security posture of an IT system with a specific focus on validating security functions, including technology that has already had security hardening.
Technical Assessments can also include validating the implementation of technical controls under industry or government frameworks, such as the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s (ACSC) hardening guides.
A Technical Assessment will provide you with a report outlining the systems assessed and detailing security issues identified and recommended remediation activities.
Suitable for Government Organisations and Private Enterprises
Technical Assessments are designed to provide government organisations and private enterprises with an in-depth understanding of an IT system security weaknesses and to identify remediation options to lift security posture. We will work with you to understand your goals and tailor the assessment to suit your organisation’s needs and support the specific outcomes you are seeking.
Benefits to your Organisation:
- Understand the security weaknesses in your IT systems
- Get visibility of your current security posture and where the gaps are
- Get actionable remediation recommendations
- Access an executive summary in a format you can communicate to senior stakeholders
Summary Presentation for C-Suite & Board Members
This optional presentation of findings to key executives helps to align your security initiatives with your organisation’s business goals and overall risk management strategy. This session provides senior executives with jargon-free digestible information around the Technical Assessment findings and enables them to ask questions and voice any concerns. By forging an understanding of security threats as they manifest on a business level, this presentation is useful in justifying security spend and getting buy-in for further budgetary requirements.
We chose to engage an Australian company called Shearwater to lead that (IRAP) assessment because of their reputation for rigour and expertise.
