What's Involved

The Security Assessment starts with a kick-off meeting that starts with gathering requirements, followed by a detailed assessment with your core team. Our team then provides a summary of the observations and assessments, customized for your system and objectives. In some cases, customers will start experiencing system improvements before this three-step process is finished.

The Security Assessments focus on a broad range of system security aspects. Example topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Locking down your system’s information flows against unauthorized access to ensure information confidentiality and integrity
  • Identifying the required interactions between the different stakeholders and the information flows, resulting in rules to enforce access based on a need-to-know basis
  • Integrating secure identity and key management technologies into your distributed system
  • Improving the development process to align with security needs
  • Expanding awareness of security-related events and accelerating response time
  • Migrating existing systems to a secured solution
