Our Client’s Needs

The client was in the process of incorporating new systems to leverage the internet to transfer information between the Company and its Customers. Given that confidential information would be transacted between the servers via the internet, data security and confidentiality was of paramount importance. The end-goal was to assess the security posture for the large amount of systems that would be connected to the new system.

Scope of Engagement

The Client decided on conducting an External Vulnerability Assessment of the systems that would be directly connected to the new Information Sharing system. Our scope included: Web Servers, Firewalls, Workstations, and Routers.

Methodology

Taking in-consideration the Client’s requirements, Security Brigade’s consultants identified the best methodology that would cater to the Client’s goals.

The process determined was a unique combination of Open-Source, Commercial and In-house Proprietary software. Manual testing also played a large part through this engagement.

Deliverables

The report detailed all of the potential vulnerabilities that were identified through this engagement. Security Brigade personnel provided a security recommendations document to assist the client’s technical staff in improving their technical security posture and their information security policies. We also provided an executive summary to client’s senior management to assist them in their risk management decision making process.
