Vulnerability Testing

The aim of vulnerability tests are to find weaknesses criminals could use (or are already), it tests areas such as:

  • Patching and updates on all systems
  • Checking how securely configured are your systems
  • Weak or reused passwords
  • Testing of your network and devices for known weaknesses
  • External test of your office IP address(es), what is exposed?
  • Test of your WiFi, how is it secured?
  • and many other areas

The benefit of doing this is:

  • avoid reputational damage
  • avoid GDPR fines and
  • avoid breach reporting hassles
  • reduced damage if you are breached/hacked in future
  • expensive downtime
  • Partly meet you obligations under Article 32 of the GDPR in relation to testing

Once complete you will have a full technical report that you can provide to your internal or external IT support to resolve, you may want another test to prove it has been done correctly.

This service can also be used to gauge the effectiveness of your external IT support service in relation to security.

“Our company has been steadily growing over the past few years and our IT systems required various additions and have been well supported externally by Lighthouse Network & IT Systems. We found participating in the Cyber Essentials scheme useful, a methodical way of checking our IT systems to make sure they are up to a standard able to achieve certification. We could not have achieved our badge without the professional expertise of CyberAggress.”

“Working with Dave at CyberAggress was a joy. There’s nothing he doesn’t know about cyber security, and he made the whole process simple. It’s not just the form filling that helps you become more secure, it’s the fact that doing so gets you to question everything in the process. Cyber Essentials is just as much related to education and awareness, as it is about making technical changes and security improvements. It’s an eye opener, and one that every business should invest in.”
