Comprehensive Security Assessment
Evaluate your organization's complete security posture through systematic analysis of networks, applications, and processes. Identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
About This Service
Our Comprehensive Security Assessment provides organizations in Cyprus with a thorough evaluation of their cybersecurity posture. This service combines automated scanning tools with expert manual analysis to uncover vulnerabilities that might otherwise remain hidden until exploited by malicious actors.
The assessment process begins with asset discovery and classification, where we identify all systems, applications, and data repositories requiring protection. We then conduct vulnerability scanning across your entire infrastructure, examining networks, servers, workstations, and connected devices. Our team performs manual testing of critical systems to identify logic flaws and configuration issues that automated tools typically miss.
We review system configurations against industry standards and compliance frameworks relevant to your sector. The assessment includes examination of access controls, authentication mechanisms, data protection measures, and network segmentation. Where appropriate, we conduct controlled social engineering tests to evaluate human factors in your security posture, as employees often represent a significant vulnerability in organizational defenses.
Physical security reviews are conducted for on-premises infrastructure, examining access controls, visitor management, and environmental protections. We analyze your incident response capabilities, backup procedures, and business continuity plans to ensure comprehensive coverage of security domains.
The assessment concludes with a detailed report that prioritizes findings by risk level, explains the potential impact of each vulnerability, and provides practical remediation recommendations tailored to your resources and business context. Our goal is not simply to identify problems but to help you understand your security landscape and develop an actionable plan for improvement.
Expected Outcomes
Clear Security Picture
Understand exactly where your organization stands from a security perspective. Our assessment provides a comprehensive view of vulnerabilities, risks, and compliance gaps across your entire infrastructure.
Prioritized Action Plan
Receive recommendations ranked by risk level and business impact. Focus your security efforts where they matter most, addressing critical vulnerabilities before lower-priority issues.
Compliance Support
Identify gaps in meeting regulatory requirements such as GDPR, ISO 27001, or industry-specific standards. Our assessment maps findings to compliance frameworks relevant to your organization.
Stakeholder Confidence
Demonstrate due diligence to partners, customers, and regulators. Professional assessment reports show your commitment to protecting sensitive information and maintaining security standards.
Recent Assessment Results
Organizations completing our security assessments typically identify between 30-80 findings requiring attention, with critical and high-priority vulnerabilities representing about 15-25% of total findings. Most clients implement remediation plans within 2-3 months, significantly improving their security posture and reducing exposure to potential incidents.
Tools and Techniques
Network Security Analysis
We employ industry-standard network scanning tools including Nmap for port and service discovery, combined with packet analysis using Wireshark for traffic inspection. Network vulnerability scanners identify configuration weaknesses in routers, switches, firewalls, and other infrastructure devices. Manual review of network architecture examines segmentation, access controls, and traffic flow patterns.
System and Application Testing
Vulnerability scanners such as Nessus and OpenVAS examine servers, workstations, and applications for known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Web applications undergo manual testing for common vulnerabilities including injection flaws, broken authentication, and security misconfigurations. Database security reviews assess access controls, encryption, and configuration hardening.
Manual Penetration Testing
Our security specialists conduct manual testing to identify business logic flaws, privilege escalation paths, and complex vulnerabilities that automated tools cannot detect. This includes authentication bypass testing, authorization verification, and exploitation of discovered vulnerabilities in controlled environments to demonstrate real-world risk.
Compliance Framework Analysis
We map findings to relevant compliance standards including GDPR for data protection, ISO 27001 for information security management, and PCI DSS where applicable. Policy and procedure reviews identify gaps in documentation and implementation. Configuration baselines from CIS Benchmarks and NIST guidelines inform our recommendations.
Safety Protocols and Standards
All assessment activities are conducted with strict protocols to prevent disruption to your business operations. We coordinate closely with your IT team to schedule testing during appropriate windows and maintain communication throughout the process.
Operational Safety
- Testing scope clearly defined and approved before work begins
- Non-disruptive scanning techniques for production systems
- Immediate notification of critical findings requiring urgent attention
- Emergency stop procedures if unexpected issues arise
Data Protection
- All assessment data encrypted at rest and in transit
- Strict confidentiality agreements covering all findings
- Assessment data deleted after agreed retention period
- Secure delivery of reports and sensitive materials
Compliance with Professional Standards
Our assessment methodology follows the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES), OWASP Testing Guide, and NIST SP 800-115 Technical Guide to Information Security Testing. All team members hold relevant professional certifications and adhere to strict ethical guidelines governing security testing activities.
Ideal for These Organizations
Growing Businesses
Companies expanding their digital infrastructure need to understand security implications of growth. Our assessment identifies vulnerabilities introduced by rapid scaling and helps establish security foundations for continued expansion.
Compliance Requirements
Organizations facing regulatory audits or seeking certification benefit from independent security assessments. We identify compliance gaps and provide documentation supporting your compliance efforts.
Cloud Migration Projects
Businesses moving to cloud infrastructure should assess security before and after migration. Our assessment identifies misconfigurations and helps ensure cloud environments meet security requirements.
Partnership Due Diligence
Companies entering partnerships or merger discussions use security assessments to demonstrate their security posture to potential partners and identify risks that might affect business relationships.
Results Measurement and Tracking
Our assessment provides measurable insights into your security posture through quantitative and qualitative metrics. We establish baselines that enable you to track improvements over time and demonstrate progress to stakeholders.
Risk Scoring
Each finding receives a risk score based on likelihood and impact, creating an overall security risk rating for your organization. This scoring enables prioritization and tracking of risk reduction efforts.
Vulnerability Metrics
Detailed statistics on vulnerability types, affected systems, and severity distributions help you understand where security weaknesses concentrate and measure remediation progress.
Compliance Mapping
Findings mapped to compliance requirements show exactly where gaps exist and provide clear objectives for achieving compliance with relevant standards and regulations.
Follow-up Validation
After implementing recommended fixes, we offer validation testing to confirm vulnerabilities have been properly remediated. This follow-up assessment provides documentation of improvements and identifies any residual issues requiring additional attention.
Annual reassessments help track security posture changes over time, identify new vulnerabilities introduced by infrastructure changes, and demonstrate ongoing commitment to security improvement.
