Home / Resources / Security Assessment
A thorough review of your security posture. Honest findings. Practical recommendations.
Most businesses know they should care about security. Few know exactly where their vulnerabilities lie. Generic advice only goes so far. You need someone to look at your specific environment, your actual configurations, your real risks.
Our security assessment does exactly that. We examine your systems, review your policies, test your defences. You receive a clear picture of your current state and a prioritised list of improvements. No jargon. No unnecessary alarm. Just honest findings and practical recommendations.
We look at the areas that matter most. Technical controls, human factors, and business processes.
Who has access to what? How are accounts created and removed? We verify password policies, MFA coverage, and privileged access controls. Access should be appropriately restricted and properly managed.
Your most likely attack vector. We review spam filtering, phishing protection, and impersonation defences. We check SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration. We test whether malicious content can reach your users.
Are your devices adequately protected? We examine antivirus coverage, EDR deployment, and patch status. We verify that security tools are configured correctly and actually working.
Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS - your cloud configurations need scrutiny. We review access controls and security settings against best practices and common misconfigurations that attackers exploit.
Firewall rules, network segmentation, VPN configuration. We look at how traffic flows, what is exposed externally, and whether your network architecture would limit the impact of a breach.
Where is your sensitive data? Who can access it? How is it protected in transit and at rest? We assess backup procedures, data classification, and your ability to recover from an incident.
Technology alone cannot protect you. We assess your security policies, training programs, and incident response procedures. Human factors often determine whether attacks succeed or fail.
We start with a scoping conversation to understand your business, your concerns, and your environment. This shapes the assessment focus and ensures we examine what matters most to you. From there, we collect documentation, configuration exports, and system information - most of this happens remotely with temporary read-only access to your systems.
Our team then reviews your configurations, tests your controls, and identifies vulnerabilities. We examine each area systematically against established security frameworks. Nothing is assumed; everything is verified.
Once analysis is complete, we document our findings, assess risk levels, and develop recommendations. Each finding includes context, evidence, and practical remediation steps. We then walk you through the results, answer your questions, and discuss priorities. You leave with a clear understanding of your risks and a roadmap for improvement.
The assessment produces tangible outputs you can act on. An executive summary gives leadership a high-level overview with key findings, risk ratings, and recommended priorities. The technical report provides detailed findings with evidence, risk assessments, and specific remediation guidance for each issue identified.
We also provide a prioritised roadmap - a recommended sequence of improvements based on risk, cost, and operational impact. Finally, we conduct an interactive presentation session with your team, walking through findings, answering questions, and providing context.
No obligation to engage further. The assessment stands on its own. You can implement recommendations yourself, engage another provider, or ask us to help. The report is yours regardless.
Security assessments reveal uncomfortable truths. That is the point. Better to discover vulnerabilities through a controlled assessment than through a breach. Better to know your risks than to hope for the best.
We have conducted assessments for organisations across New Zealand. Manufacturing firms, professional services, healthcare providers, technology companies. Each environment is different. The rigour we apply is consistent.
