Security Assessment

Basic Security Assessment

At Step Stone Security, we use freely available tools to perform a basic assessment of your organization's security posture. This initial review helps us identify potential vulnerabilities and determine if you need more comprehensive security measures.

Our Approach

We utilize industry-standard open-source security scanning tools to analyze your infrastructure, networks, and systems for common security issues such as:

• Network vulnerabilities
• Weak authentication mechanisms
• Insecure configurations
• Missing security patches
• Policy and procedure gaps

What You'll Receive

After our assessment, we'll provide you with:

• A clear report of identified vulnerabilities
• Prioritized list of security concerns
• Recommendations for remediation
• Assessment of whether you need further security assistance

Tools We Use

Our basic assessments typically utilize freely available security tools such as:

• Nmap for network scanning
• OpenVAS for vulnerability assessment
• OWASP ZAP for web application scanning
• Lynis for system auditing
• CIS Benchmarks for configuration assessment

Assessment Process

Our security assessment process typically follows these steps:

1. Initial Consultation: We discuss your business, technology stack, and specific security concerns.
2. Scope Definition: We define the scope of the assessment based on your needs and priorities.
3. Assessment Execution: We perform the assessment using our suite of security tools.
4. Analysis: We analyze the results and identify vulnerabilities and security gaps.
5. Reporting: We provide a detailed report with findings and recommendations.
6. Review Meeting: We review the findings with you and answer any questions.
7. Remediation Guidance: We provide guidance on addressing the identified issues.
