Cybersecurity Assessments
Cybersecurity assessments are one of the essential components of an organization's cybersecurity program. In addition, many cybersecurity regulations and frameworks (I.e. HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST SP 800-53, GLBA) require an annual assessment of your cybersecurity risk posture. As your trusted partner, Edge's Cybersecurity experts can provide you with a point in time perspective of your cybersecurity posture letting you know what is going well and areas for improvement. Our assessment reports can serve as a roadmap for improving the organization's cybersecurity posture and reducing the risks of cyberattacks and data breaches.
At Edge, we are equipped to provide you with an overall assessment of your cybersecurity risk posture or assessment targeted to your specific needs. Target assessments include:
-
Vulnerability Assessment: Conducting automated and manual testing to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors.
-
Penetration Testing: Performing controlled "white hat hacking" attacks on systems and networks to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors.
-
Policy and Procedure Review: Evaluation the organization's cybersecurity policies, procedures, and practices to ensure they are aligned to the security industries leading practices and regulatory requirements.
-
Incident Response Evaluation: Assessing the organization's incident response plan and procedures to determine its effectiveness in mitigating and responding to cybersecurity incidents. Conducting tabletop scenarios is a good way to know how well your incident response plan holds up when an actual cybersecurity incident occurs.
-
Third-Party Risk Assessment: Evaluating the cybersecurity programs and posture of third-party vendor and partners to understand what risks are present in these relationships, especially for scenarios where third-parties have access to the organization's data and systems.
-
Application & DevSecOps Assessment: Assessing the organizations application development, IT operations, and cybersecurity practices to ensure security and risk is managed throughout the entire software development lifecycle. The assissment aims to identify how effectively an organization has integrated security practices into its DevOps processes.
