Security services
Security audits
Understand where you stand. We assess agreed parts of your application or infrastructure and make risks and improvements clear.
Discuss your needsThe challenge
When is this useful?
You want to know whether important security controls are configured well, or you have specific questions about an application, environment or data flow. A technical security audit examines those questions systematically.
Depending on scope, we may review access and permissions, configuration, data handling and technical dependencies. We agree what is assessed and where the assessment ends.
Examples
Typical requests.
- Review application access rights and configuration.
- Assess data handling and technical dependencies.
- Prioritise security risks with your development team.
Working transparently
Clarity before we begin.
We agree the questions, systems and access or documentation required. We set the approach, schedule and deliverables, and explain any limits: missing information or access can affect what we can establish.
From question to outcome
How we work.
Agree the questions
We map the context and key questions, then define the areas and insight needed.
Assess and discuss
We review the agreed areas and discuss technical choices and findings with you, including relevant context.
Explain the findings
We support our findings, explain their meaning and discuss priorities and possible improvements.
What you receive
What you receive.
- An overview of the areas and questions assessed
- Evidence-based findings with context and impact
- Improvement options and a discussion of priorities
- An explanation of limits, open questions and next steps
You can ask questions about decisions and results. We explain what is complete, what still needs attention and which next steps may help.
Practical questions
More about security audits.
How much does a security audit cost and how long does it take?
It depends on the systems, questions and available access or documentation. We agree scope, approach, schedule and cost in advance and explain limitations.
How is an audit different from a penetration test?
An audit assesses agreed security controls. A penetration test checks whether weaknesses can actually be exploited. We can help choose what fits your question.
Can you also implement improvements?
Yes. We can remediate weaknesses in software, configuration and infrastructure. We agree separately which changes to make and how to verify them.
