Risk Assessment Services By CyberUnlocked

Cybersecurity risk assessments involve understanding, controlling, managing, and mitigating your organisation's cyber risks. It's a vital component of your data protection and risk management strategy.


As organisations continue to leverage information systems and technology for daily business operations, the potential risks increase, most of which didn't exist prior.


The process is complex, especially if you have limited ICT knowledge. Fortunately, CyberUnlocked can help you manoeuvre the challenges through personalised cybersecurity guidance and risk assessment services.


Forms of Risk Assessment Services


CyberUnlocked offers the following Risk Assessment Services:


External Vulnerability Scan


Resources that can be publicly accessed over the internet are constantly at risk of attacks. So you must scan your systems continuously. CyberUnlocked offers comprehensive checks for your business data at the surface, deep, or in the dark web.


We test for data leakages and the areas vulnerable to attacks such as DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service attack) and flaws in SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) implementation. 


Cyber Risk Assessment


We can boost your organisation's cyberattack preparedness by benchmarking your cybersecurity structure against the recommended NIST cybersecurity framework. You'll get a budget-friendly, enhanced action plan that can reduce vulnerabilities, handle common risk, align with NIST, and enhance your security posture.


Our framework covers the following:

  • Identification of your company assets
  • Protecting the assets
  • Detecting events and anomalies
  • Responding with an effective mitigation plan
  • Recovering systems and data, then making improvements
  • Aligning with NIST and ACSC Essential Eight


Internal Vulnerability Scan


Though some systems don't expose services or ports to the internet, they still have weaknesses identified and addressed via internal network vulnerability assessments. CyberUnlocked will address vast attack scenarios that evade external vulnerability scanners and offer an all-inclusive report on vulnerabilities within your network.


We also identify wrongly configured software, common mistakes, and any ignored security best practices. 


Website and Web Application Vulnerability Scans


We conduct web application vulnerability scans to identify cybersecurity loopholes on your website and web applications. Threat actors can use numerous weaknesses to access your assets, attack users, or compromise your organisation's web server.


We look out for common exploits like sensitive data exposure, SQL injection, directory traversal weaknesses, and cross-site scripting. We also evaluate your hosting infrastructure's misconfigurations.


Cloud Workload Susceptibility Assessments


More organisations and business establishments rely on cloud computing services like Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS for web-based and internal applications. These solution providers offer advanced tools to secure your data, but you also need a constant evaluation of your threat environment.

CyberUnlocked experts will continually assess your cloud workloads for the ultimate system visibility and identify vulnerabilities in real-time.


Penetration Tests


Contrary to common misconception, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing are two different concepts. The processes are related, but they serve distinct purposes. Both small and established entities are at risk, and our comprehensive penetration test can identify and highlight particular exploits. This improves your security and serves compliance purposes.


Supply Chain Risk Assessment


Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting less-secure companies in the supply chain as a means to launch an attack on better-prepared organisations. Identifying risks and vulnerabilities associated with your suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers is becoming as important as keeping your own organisation secure. 


The primary reason is that businesses lack robust processes for identifying and successfully managing evolving supply chain risks.

CyberUnlocked offers external vulnerability assessments on vendors or partners to identify any potential risks.


Compliance Reporting


Every industry has specific regulations and standards that bind organisations. Violations usually result in heavy penalties or even complete shut-downs. Businesses that partner with government organisations and those in particular industries like finance or healthcare will find our compliance reporting helpful. We cover regulations such as GLBA, HIPAA, CMMC, NIST CSF, and PCI DSS.


Our Continuous Monitoring Risk Assessment Approach


CyberUnlocked acknowledges risk management as a continuous process. Our approach focuses on ongoing monitoring and regular risk re-assessment to offer visibility on how the enhancements impact your system. We also evaluate your system for any new cyber threats, risks, and weaknesses.


Why partner with CyberUnlocked?


Every agency promises comprehensive risk assessments, but not all of them offer unmatched services as CyberUnlocked does. Our risk assessments are flexible to match your needs, and we leverage a prioritised strategy that focuses on what matters. We also insist on constant monitoring and continuous improvement that offer measurable benefits to your security structure.
