Security Assessment & Auditing
Structured audits of your security controls against a named standard such as ISO/IEC 27001, the CIS Controls or sector regulations, with evidence-backed findings and a remediation plan.
Capability overview
What security assessment & auditing involves
An audit answers a narrower question than consulting: do the controls you say you have actually work? We test a defined control set, collect evidence from systems and records, and report each control as effective, partially effective or missing.
Assessments are commonly run ahead of ISO/IEC 27001 certification, before a customer security due diligence, after a merger, or to meet sector expectations such as the RBI IT governance directions for regulated financial entities or CERT-In reporting and log retention requirements.
What is included
Typical assessment types
ISO/IEC 27001 gap assessment
Clause 4 to 10 management system requirements and Annex A controls reviewed, with a statement of applicability draft and certification readiness view.
CIS Controls assessment
The eighteen CIS Controls scored by implementation group, a practical fit for organisations that want technical depth without a certification goal.
Regulatory control review
Controls mapped to obligations such as CERT-In incident reporting timelines, 180-day log retention and sector-specific directions.
Internal audit support
Independent testing of IT general controls such as access reviews, change management and backup verification for internal or statutory auditors.
How we work
How we deliver security assessment & auditing
Scope and criteria
The standard, business units, systems and sample periods fixed in writing so findings cannot be disputed later on scope.
Document review
Policies, procedures, risk registers and previous audit reports read to understand the intended control design.
Evidence testing
Samples pulled from ticketing, identity and backup systems to confirm that each control operated during the review period.
Findings validation
Draft findings discussed with control owners to remove misunderstandings before anything reaches the final report.
Report and plan
Rated findings, root causes and a remediation plan with owners and target dates, plus an executive summary for the board.

Vulnerability Assessment
Authenticated scanning of servers, endpoints, network devices and web applications to find known weaknesses, ranked by real exploitability rather than raw severity scores.
Penetration Testing
Manual, intelligence-led attacks on your applications, networks and cloud accounts by testers who chain weaknesses together to show what a real attacker could reach.
Web Application Security
Protection for live websites and web applications: hardened configuration, a tuned web application firewall, bot and abuse controls, and fixes for OWASP Top 10 weaknesses in production.
Application Security
Security built into how your software is designed, coded and released: threat modelling, secure code review, SAST and dependency scanning in the pipeline, and developer training.

Questions & answers
Questions about Security Assessment & Auditing
Cannot find what you need? Our team responds to technical and commercial questions within one business day.
Ask a questionNo. Certification is issued by accredited certification bodies. We prepare you for the certification audit through gap assessment, remediation support and an internal audit run before the external one.
A focused CIS Controls assessment can finish in three to four weeks. A full ISO/IEC 27001 gap assessment across several sites typically needs six to eight weeks.
Hands-on exploitation is not part of an audit. If you need proof that a weakness can actually be exploited, a penetration test is scoped separately.
