Cyber Security Assessment
Protect Your Business from Cyber Risk
In today’s information economy, the protection of information assets (information security) is a key element in the long-term competitiveness and survival of commercial organisations. With the Internet becoming a ubiquitous communication and application platform, the greatest risk to your business is likely to come from risk of cyber crime.
We believe that cyber risk and business resilience are the most important security issues facing UK businesses today.
The Stakes are High!
The potential impact of ‘cyber risk’ to your business includes:
- Financial loss from theft or fraud
- Loss of invaluable customer information or Intellectual Property
- Possible fines from legal and regulatory bodies (e.g. FSA, Information Commissioner)
- Loss of reputation through ‘word of mouth’ and adverse press coverage.
Your Business Plan - Risk & Reward
The assessment and prevention of cyber risks associated with your information assets are crucial to the success of your business. As in any business, it is your responsibility to minimise risk and to maximise all business opportunities and return on investment. The adoption of an appropriate balance of risk and reward should now be an essential part of your business plan.
To provide a deeper insight into the risks facing your business, we recommend the following ITGP publications:

360 Degree Cyber Security Assessment Package
Provide your organisation with a complete cyber security assessment and deliver practical recommendations for the remedial activities required to eliminate or reduce the risks of cyber crime.
This package offers a suite of dedicated solutions which include:
Vulnerability Scanning – fully automated scanning to identify and report on the complete range of potential weak points in your system. We use the same technology that cyber criminals use to detect a vulnerability that would enable them to steal or damage your confidential information.
Penetration Testing - with the knowledge of your key vulnerabilities and your permission, we use ethical hacking techniques to identify and report on how each weakness can be exploited.
Web Application Testing – given that 70% of commercial cyber attacks use vulnerable Web applications, we test all relevant weak points that might be associated with essential functionality such as shopping carts, online forms, blogs and forums.
Social Testing – while the cyber risks from external sources are high, the risks from ‘white collar crime’ committed by staff and associates within your company are even higher. Our unique social testing service evaluates key factors such as staff awareness, access to information, adherence to policies, data disposal and incident reporting.
Assessment Report – a complete set of reports indentifying vulnerabilities and recommending appropriate solutions to remove or mitigate each of the cyber risks.

Implement Cybersecurity Standards
The foundation of cyber security is the ISO27001 Information Security Management Standard, the most significant international best practice standard available to any organisation seeking an organised and structured framework for addressing cyber risks.
Consistent with the management of information security, the development of a Business Continuity Plan is essential to ensure a business remains operational in the event of any disaster or emergency. The British Standards BS25999 and BS25777 provide an ideal framework for the guidance and best practice associated with developing a robust and efficient cyber resilience strategy.
Ensure you protect the assets of your business from the risks associated with cybercrime.
