Security Assessment
A thorough assessment is essential for any corporate security program because it
measures your risk exposure and is the only tool that can guide you to plugging all of
those yet-to-be-discovered security holes.
Whether your assessment is simply a “reality check” or a foundation for security
policy development, Structured takes a comprehensive look at your existing security
infrastructure. Structured’s holistic approach evaluates your entire security program,
not just vulnerable, ill-patched servers. Our seasoned team of Certified Information
Systems Security Professionals (CISSP) will assess your entire security program
across three major dimensions:
Physical Security—The physical protection of IT systems is essential to
guard against theft, destruction or physical accessing of data. Structured
consultants will walk through your facility to examine your physical
security controls, asset protection and human protection systems.
Administrative Security—Our consultants analyze your administrative
safeguards (such as employees’ security awareness and password
policies) to determine how well your information security program
is designed and executed. Many organizations find this part of the
assessment very helpful because it gives them insight and guidance
on how to implement administrative policies to strengthen the overall
security program.
Technical Security—System and network vulnerabilities are lurking on
your network, and it is our job to find them. We thoroughly analyze
your network—including your existing security systems—to find hidden
security issues and fix them.
A formal security assessment can be overwhelming because of its scope and
complexity. That’s why Structured provides documented analysis and follow-up
support. Following our analysis, we deliver you a complete assessment document
that meets ISO-17799 standards for detailing both vulnerabilities and recommended
solutions. Our consultants will then present the findings to your company’s key
members. They’ll illustrate how security protects the integrity of your information and
reduces costs by putting formal processes around the things you do already.
