Cloud Security Assessment

Cloud adoption is on the rise, but so are cyber threats.  Breaches can be costly, damaging reputation and finances.  Our cloud security assessment takes a proactive approach to identify gaps and security concerns that are crucial in creating and maintaining a secure environment. 

Our comprehensive approach:

  1. Discuss – we discuss your requirements with all stakeholders to ensure that we take into account all your concerns and objectives.

  2. Review – we review the current system security policies and technical documentation to get a full understanding of you environment.

  3. Evaluate – we evaluate your security architecture to identify gaps and vulnerabilties.

  4. Conduct – we conduct a vulnerability scan using the latest tools that apply to your specific platform.

  5. Submit – we submit a Final Report detailing the vulnerabilities found and the corrective actions needed to mitigate the vulnerabilities

This assessment can be performed on both cloud and non-cloud (on-premise) systems. 

Cloud Security Compliance

Non-compliance with regulatory requirements can be costly, and lead to potential security breaches.  Organizations must strive to stay informed and prioritize compliance to protect data and maintain trust with stakeholders.  Our cloud security compliance services are designed to help organizations comply with relevant regulations and industry standards related to cloud security.

Our Cloud Compliance Strategy:

  1. Discuss – we discuss your requirements with all stakeholders to ensure that we take into account all your concerns and objectives.

  2. Review – we review the current system security policies and technical documentation to get a full understanding of you environment.

  3. Evaluate – we evaluate your responsibilities and requirements against applicable regulatory frameworks.

  4. Identify – we identify gaps and develop control implementations to comply with regulations.

  5. Update – we update current security policy and documentation to ensure alignment with applicable regulatory frameworks.

Cloud & System Architecture Review

Our security architecture assessment services are designed to help organizations develop and implement effective security measures to protect their cloud-based and non-cloud-based resources.  We provide a comprehensive evaluation that encompasses various aspects of your system environment including networks, data, applications, endpoints, and more.  Our review will identify gaps in the architecture, policies, and controls that could put critical assets at risk from attackers.  This is a more focused and in-depth review and analysis of your system architecture.

Some of the services offered in our security architecture review are:

  1. Threat modeling: Identify potential threats and risks to the cloud environment and develop mitigation strategies.

  2. Identity and access management (IAM): Develop an IAM strategy to ensure that only authorized users have access to sensitive data and applications. This may include multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and user provisioning.

  3. Network security: Develop a network security strategy that includes firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and virtual private networks (VPNs).

  4. Data protection: Develop a data protection strategy that includes encryption, data loss prevention (DLP), and data backup and recovery.

  5. Compliance and auditing: Develop an auditing strategy to monitor and report on security incidents and compliance issues.
  6. Disaster recovery and business continuity: Develop a disaster recovery and business continuity plan that ensures that critical data and applications can be restored in the event of a security breach or other disaster.

Vulnerability Management

Leveraging an array of cutting-edge security assessment tools, we meticulously scan your cloud and/or on-premise system environment. Our systematic approach involves identifying, classifying, and prioritizing vulnerabilities. We leave no stone unturned in our quest to uncover potential security weaknesses or flaws within your organization’s systems, applications, and infrastructure.

While a one-time assessment provides valuable insights, we advocate for a more proactive stance. Regular vulnerability assessments, conducted at least quarterly, are essential. Why? Because the threat landscape evolves incessantly. New vulnerabilities and system flaws emerge daily, demanding constant vigilance. By staying ahead of the curve, we safeguard your digital assets and fortify your security posture.

Here are the key aspects of a comprehensive vulnerability assessment:

  1. Scope Definition:
    • The assessment begins by defining the scope. This involves identifying the assets (such as servers, databases, network devices, applications) to be assessed.
  2. Asset Discovery:
    • The assessment team identifies all relevant assets within the defined scope.
  3. Vulnerability Scanning:
    • Automated vulnerability scanning tools are employed to scan the identified assets.
    •  

     4. Risk Prioritization:

    • Each identified vulnerability is assessed based on its severity, impact, and exploitability.

     5. Reporting and Documentation:

    • The assessment team compiles a detailed interim and final report that includes:
      • A list of vulnerabilities with descriptions.
      • Risk ratings (e.g., high, medium, low).
      • Recommendations for remediation.

Security Continuous Monitoring

The Security Continuous Monitoring program is designed to review the security posture of an organization on a recurring basis.  The SCM program is designed to measure the organization’s security posture over time.  This will allow management to understand whether the security of their system is improving or declining and to determine what areas to focus available resources.

We create and document SCM strategies aimed to detect security vulnerabilities, monitor information security controls, and ensure systems and data are protected.  All security continuous monitoring strategies are created and tailored according to your specific cloud or on-premise system platforms.  This SCM strategy will empower your security or technical staff with a proactive defense strategy that aims to detect and address security issues in real-time, rather than reacting after an incident has occurred.

CyberRisQ can also perform your SCM, as we understand that sometimes organizations face staff and resource constraints.  Our strategy is contained in our Cloud Security Assessment  process.  The processes in our Cloud Security Assessment apply to both cloud and non-cloud systems.  Our security assessment will be performed quarterly, however, we will highlight any processes that need to be performed on a more frequent basis.  By performing the assessment quarterly, it allows the organization time to prioritize and remediate the identified vulnerabilities before the next security assessment.  If cost is a concern, our Vulnerability Management program  can be substituted for our security assessment process and performed quarterly as well.  We can also tailor an SCM practice that fits your organization’s needs and financial commitments.

Some of the benefits of the SCM:

  • Discovering Weaknesses: Identifying security gaps that could be exploited by threat actors.
  • Prioritizing Remediation: Determining which vulnerabilities should be addressed first based on their potential impact.
  • Supporting Compliance: Helps ensure that the organization meets relevant regulatory requirements.
  • Enhancing Security Posture: Providing insights for improving overall security measures.

At CyberRisQ, we are committed to fortifying your defenses, ensuring resilience, and safeguarding your digital landscape.
