PRE-BREACH ASSESSMENT

Cyber Maturity Driven by Effective Cyber Strategy

When most organizations experience a cyber breach, they were passing all of their compliance audits. This is what makes SpearTip’s pre-breach assessment so critical. The engagement focuses on real-world events and goes further than simple audit checks to target those vulnerabilities leading to compromises. This analysis protects the organization from data loss, identity theft or fraud, financial loss, and reputation loss, and if a breach occurs by exposing blind spots and providing high-value remediation opportunities. The pre-breach assessment will focus on your cyber maturity, diving deeper than the simple enumeration of patch levels. Throughout the course of the engagement, we examine your entire security posture from the top down during our cybersecurity risk assessment process.
