Cybersecurity Audit Services We Offer
Different audit types serve different purposes. We help you choose the right assessment based on your compliance requirements, risk profile, and business goals.
Comprehensive Security Audit
Full evaluation of your security posture including network infrastructure, endpoint protection, access controls, policies, procedures, and incident response capabilities. Our most thorough assessment, typically completed in 2-4 weeks.
Compliance-Focused Audit
Targeted audit aligned to specific compliance frameworks. We map your current controls to framework requirements, identify gaps, and provide a remediation roadmap. Supports CMMC, HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and NIST 800-171.
Penetration Testing
Authorized simulated attacks against your network, applications, and physical security to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. Our certified ethical hackers use the same techniques real attackers use, then show you exactly how to fix what they find.
Vulnerability Assessment
Automated and manual scanning of your entire infrastructure to identify known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and outdated software. Delivered with risk-prioritized remediation recommendations so you fix the most critical issues first.
Cloud Security Audit
Assessment of your cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace) for misconfigurations, excessive permissions, data exposure, and compliance gaps. Cloud environments have unique risks that traditional audits miss.
Digital Forensics Investigation
When you suspect a breach has already occurred, our digital forensics team (DFE #604180) investigates the incident, determines the scope of compromise, preserves evidence for legal proceedings, and provides a complete incident report.
Our Audit Covers Every Layer
A cybersecurity audit is only valuable if it is thorough. We evaluate your security across eight critical domains.
Network Security
Firewall configuration review, network segmentation analysis, wireless security assessment, VPN configuration, and traffic flow analysis. We identify misconfigurations, unnecessary open ports, and opportunities for lateral movement that an attacker could exploit.
Endpoint Security
Assessment of all workstations, servers, and mobile devices for antivirus/EDR coverage, patch levels, encryption status, and configuration hardening. We verify that every endpoint meets your security baseline and identify devices that have fallen out of compliance.
Identity and Access Management
Review of user accounts, service accounts, privileges, multi-factor authentication, password policies, and access review processes. We identify dormant accounts, excessive privileges, shared credentials, and other identity risks that attackers target first.
Data Protection
Evaluation of data classification, encryption at rest and in transit, backup procedures, data loss prevention, and data retention policies. We identify sensitive data that is improperly protected, unencrypted, or accessible to unauthorized users.
Policies and Procedures
Review of your security policies, acceptable use policies, incident response plans, business continuity plans, and vendor management practices. Strong technical controls are insufficient without documented policies that define how they should be used.
Employee Security Awareness
Assessment of your security awareness training program, phishing simulation results, and employee security behavior. Human error remains the leading cause of security incidents, making this one of the most impactful areas to evaluate.
