Security Architecture Review

Security health checks and risk assessments that show where you stand and what to fix first.

Know your weak spots. Fix the right ones first.

Our security health check helps you manage the risks to your data. It evaluates the maturity of your current information security capabilities, identifies weak areas and recommends the order in which to remediate them. The assessment goes beyond a technical focus: we consider people, processes and technology, and give you an understanding of your overall risk posture. On request, we can also undertake an in-depth code review and test your whole security architecture.

Security Architecture Review

How we assess your security.

We conduct thorough assessments and health checks of your security infrastructure, drawing our findings from three sources of evidence.

  • Interviews

    We interview management, data owners and other employees.

  • Systems

    We analyse your systems and infrastructure.

  • Documents

    We review your documentation.

A risk assessment that starts with how you make money.

Security assessments identify, estimate and prioritise risks to your operations and assets. Ultimately, they help you manage weaknesses and limit the threat to your data. When a business is focused on financial transactions, a security risk management process is even more important.

Things to think about

  • How your organisation makes money.
  • How employees and assets affect the income of the business.
  • Which risks could result in large financial losses for the company.

Afterwards, it is important to understand how to improve your IT infrastructure to reduce the largest financial risks.

Three factors

Our risk assessment uses only three factors:

  • How important the assets at risk are.
  • How critical the threat is.
  • How vulnerable your systems are to that particular threat.

Using those factors, you can assess the risk: the likelihood that your organisation will lose money.

Risk = Asset × Threat × Vulnerability

Risk assessment is about logical constructs, not numbers, but it helps to represent it as a formula. Anything multiplied by zero is zero: if the threat and the vulnerability are both high but the asset is worth nothing to you, your risk of losing money is zero.
