Security Vulnerability Assessment

A cost-effective assessment to identify security weaknesses

Reveal Hidden Risks Before Attackers Do

Risk Crew’s Security Vulnerability Assessment

Uncovers and prioritises weaknesses in your digital environment, delivering a clear roadmap to reduce risk and strengthen defences.

Whether at the network or application level, it’s a critical step in reducing your attack surface and preventing breaches.

Risk Crew provides security vulnerability assessments of:

  • Interior-facing networks
  • Exterior-facing networks
  • Web applications
  • Application programming interfaces (API)
  • Hosting platforms
  • Mobile applications

Risk Crew's 5 Phase Methodology

Confirming test scope, target IPs, URLs, APIs and specific locations of business information assets, compliance requirements, testing times, points of contact and rules of engagement.

Identifying vulnerabilities associated with targets, all the devices associated with the target network and associated hardware, operating systems and software security vulnerabilities related with these devices.

Determining false-positives and confirming risk-levels associated with identified vulnerabilities.

Documenting findings and specific step-by-step remedial recommendations.

Verifying vulnerabilities identified during testing were appropriately remediated.

Features and Components

Our assessments are conducted using best practice methods that utilise both manual and automated tools to authenticate the effectiveness of present security controls.

Methodology
Risk Crew's assessment methodology is based upon best practices established and defined by ISECOM's Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM) and Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Cloud Security Project guidelines.

Tools & Techniques
Our experts use both automated tools and manual techniques to identify security vulnerabilities that threaten the integrity of your systems. These may be configuration flaws, excess builds, missing security patches, updates or fixes or programming errors on internet-facing systems.

Examination
Additionally, our experts will examine how your servers appear to users on the internet and pinpoint where information is exposed, which could be exploited by attackers.

Risk Crew Deliverables

Risk Crew’s service provides a comprehensive report that details security vulnerabilities identified and specific actions for remediation, a courtesy workshop and on-call assistance.

FAQs

Best practice is to conduct a security vulnerability assessment quarterly (once every three months) and/or after any significant change to the system.

A security vulnerability assessment most commonly identifies overlooked configuration flaws, excess builds, missing security patches and updates or fixes or programming errors that could be exploited.

A vulnerability assessment identifies security weaknesses associated with the target systems but does not attempt to exploit those weaknesses. Penetration testing entails identifying security vulnerabilities associated with the target system AND attempting to exploit them for unauthorised access.

Compliance to the Payment Card Industry (PCI), Data Security Standards (DSS) is required for business systems that process, store or transmit cardholder data (and any business systems that are connected to systems that process, store or transmit cardholder data). Vulnerability scanning must be done with an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) technology on all components of a card data environment quarterly. If this requirement applies to your business, ensure your vendor uses ASV technology in conducting these scans.
