Why acknowledging your cyber security weaknesses is a strength

It’s important to take a pragmatic and practical approach to risk in every area of our life, and corporate cyber security is no different.

When working with a consultant to assess your firm’s cyber security, expect them to identify weakness, vulnerabilities, ways in, how to get data out and ultimately find out where you are exposed.

We’re aware that it’s difficult for anyone to admit weakness but understanding vulnerabilities is of paramount importance for effective cyber security.

Why acknowledge your cyber security weaknesses?

Organisations face many risks that can be difficult to identify and quantify without the help of an external consultant. By working with Inavate, you can get an objective view of your current cyber security status as well as recommendations for improvement.

Our team has a wealth of experience in carrying out successful cyber security assessments for organisations of all sizes across all sectors. We understand that every client is different and tailor our approach accordingly.

One of the key benefits of working with us is that we take a collaborative approach to cyber security assessment. We recognise that our clients are the experts in their own business and work with them to identify areas of improvement. Our goal is to provide our clients with the knowledge and tools they need to reduce their exposure to cyber threats.

The most common request

The most common request we get asked is to gauge the level of risk a company faces, what the risks are, and how to fix them. This will cover physical controls, data leakage, staff awareness, identity challenge, penetration testing, and a few covert tactics.

In order to effectively assess these risks, we need your help. We need you to be open and honest about your organisation’s weaknesses so that we can help you find solutions. Only by working together can we hope to create a more secure environment for everyone involved.

Security assessments

We can conduct a range of security assessments including overt, covert, digital attack and penetration testing by certified CREST and Tigerscheme security professionals. Assessments include:

  • Data Leakage Prevention: A review of your strategy and implementation. This will identify any gaps in your current data leakage prevention solution and make recommendations for improvement.
  • Social Engineering Testing: A series of tests designed to identify vulnerabilities in your staff’s awareness of cyber security threats and their ability to spot and report suspicious activity.
  • Penetration Testing: A simulated cyber-attack carried out on your systems and infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
  • Digital attack: A series of simulated cyber-attacks carried out by our team of experts over an extended period of time designed to test your organisation’s ability to detect, respond to and recover from a sustained cyber-attack.

Strength in your weakness

There are many benefits to acknowledging your cyber security weaknesses. By conducting a vulnerability assessment, you can identify where you are exposed and take steps to mitigate the risks. Cyber security is an ever-evolving field, and it is important to stay up-to-date on the latest threats and best practices.
