Expert cyber security. Trusted protection

Cyber security threats are evolving rapidly and the potential impact of an attack has never been greater. From phishing scams to sophisticated data breaches, organisations risk severe losses to confidential data, customer trust and brand reputation.

Passwords and firewalls alone are no longer enough. Effective cyber security today requires a holistic, integrated approach to risk management across systems, networks, and users.

Our cyber security specialists deliver comprehensive IT and cyber security services, combining deep technical expertise with certified ethical hacking capabilities. We proactively monitor existing and emerging cyber threats, helping organisations like yours reduce risk before incidents occur. Acting as a single point of contact, our experts streamline cyber security operations while improving service efficiency and lowering overall costs.

Penetration testing

Penetration testing (pentest) measures the security of a computer system, network, or application by simulating a real-world attack conducted by a malicious hacker. Using the same tools and techniques as cybercriminals, our ethical hacking specialists analyse your environment to identify vulnerabilities, technical flaws and security weaknesses before they can be exploited.

Our penetration testing services can be performed externally, testing your defences from outside the security perimeter, or internally, assessing the risks posed by compromised credentials or insider threats. This comprehensive approach demonstrates exactly how well your systems would withstand a cyberattack and provides clear, actionable insights to strengthen your security posture.

Key benefits of pentest include:

• Enhancing overall security: Pentest gives you a quick and low-cost overview of your infrastructure security and resilience to attacks.
• Addressing risks: Data breaches, service disruption and website defacements are just a few of the serious risks to your business, which our pentest can easily mitigate.
• Justifying IT investment: We can evaluate how secure and well developed your system is. You can then use our pentest as a sign-off tool before accepting a site or service developed by a third party.
• Compliance: Personal Data Protection Act, PCI-DSS and ISO27001 are just some of the standards requested by clients these days. A successful pentest will be a key part of passing these standards.

Key questions we ask clients:

• Do you have an IT governance programme?
• Is your governance programme up to date and supportive of your business objectives?
• Are you compliant with federal and state security and privacy laws?
• Which staff might fall prey to phishing?
• Have you tested your network’s internal and external vulnerabilities?
• Are your remote and wireless networks fully secured?
• Do you employ encryption to sensitive information assets?
• Are physical servers and equipment protected from sabotage?
• Can your system withstand a malicious hacker or trusted insider’s attack?
• Do all employee passwords meet industry and firm standards?
• Will your back-up system protect your data in a disaster?
• Have you done all you can to ensure that your cyber insurance policy will cover financial loss?
• Do you have the ability to detect a data breach?
• Are your systems patched and is anti-virus software comprehensively installed, up to date and monitored?

Our global experts provide the solutions

To protect against these cyber security threats, our global experts implement practical risk assessment frameworks that include continuous monitoring and real-time assessments. Member firm specialists tailor solutions to protect application information and network security, prepare for disaster recovery and business continuity and deliver end-user education.

Highly qualified and deeply knowledgeable, our cyber security professionals serve as trusted advisors, providing clients with expert support protecting networks, computers, programmes and data from attack, damage or unauthorised access.

We present our findings in a formal report, together with recommendations for strengthening IT organisational policies, operational standards and procedures. Reports provide a starting point, but the real value comes from ensuring senior leadership teams understand the implications of the findings. Remediation is often not cost prohibitive; cost-effective solutions are identified and can be easily implemented.

Trained specialists can develop practical solutions that leverage existing resources (i.e. people, processes and/or technologies) to remediate any deficiencies identified. At the same time, when more problematic risk scenarios are identified, they’ll recommend tailored solutions to protect multi-layered systems and those with large amounts of confidential, financial, health and other personal data.
