Security Posture & Compliance Assessment

Measure your security posture and compliance against the standards you need to meet

Ageing firewalls, unsupported operating systems and patching that fall behind are common in growing IT environments. The hard part is knowing how much risk they add up to. Our Security Posture & Compliance Assessment shows where you're exposed, checks you against the frameworks you answer to, and gives you a prioritised plan to fix what matters most.

Why assess?

See which security gaps carry the most risk and what to fix first

Security decisions are hard to make when you can't see the whole picture. Whether you're preparing for an audit, answering a question from the board or know some systems are overdue, an assessment gives you evidence to act on.

You’ll know what’s exposed and how you measure up against the compliance frameworks you answer to, with every finding prioritised so your team knows where to start. Leadership gets the evidence it needs to approve the budget.

Are any of your firewalls, servers or operating systems past end-of-life?

Would you pass a SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI or GDPR review today?

Which known vulnerabilities on your systems are still unpatched?

Do your firewall rules still match how the business works?

Can your IT team keep on top of security without a dedicated specialist?

Our assessment takes the guesswork out, bringing you data, analysis, and expertise to guide the way.

The process

What does the assessment cover?

We combine automated scanning with detailed review and analysis, scaled to the size of your environment and the frameworks that apply to you.

01

Discovery

We will work with your security, network, and infrastructure leads to understand your business context, to collect data on your existing systems, and to plan for the relevant testing and scanning.

02

End-of-life inventory and vulnerability scan

We catalogue hardware and software past its support date, run and compile the results of an automated vulnerability scan, and map your exposure to known CVEs.

03

Firewall rule and policy audit

In larger assessments, we will review your firewall configuration and policies for gaps, outdated rules and unnecessary exposure.

04

Compliance gap analysis

We measure your environment against the compliance frameworks you need to meet, whether it’s one standard or several.  Aptum has expertise with HIPAA, SOC 2, and others.

05

Penetration testing

For larger scopes, our team runs manual penetration tests, internal and external, to find any vulnerabilities the automated tools can miss.

06

Remediation plan and risk briefing

We rank every finding by priority and give you a remediation plan. Larger engagements include an executive risk briefing and a board-ready report. If we identify a critical security problem or an imminent failure, we'll let you know right away.

Depending on scope, you'll get an end-of-life inventory, CVE exposure mapping, vulnerability scan results, a firewall audit, a compliance gap analysis, penetration test findings and a remediation priority matrix.

Use cases

When does the security posture & compliance assessment make the most impact?

Preparing for an audit

SOC 2, HIPAA or PCI on the horizon? Find and fix the gaps before the auditor arrives.

After an audit finding

If your auditor flagged infrastructure issues last time, the assessment gives you a structured plan to address them and evidence of progress.

Regulated industries

Healthcare, financial services and education organisations that handle sensitive data need a clear, documented security posture.

No dedicated security team

When security falls to a stretched IT team, an outside review checks their work and gives them a prioritised plan to take to leadership for budget.

Why Aptum?

From findings to fixes, with one team

The people who assess your environment can also replace end-of-life firewalls and servers, harden your systems, and keep patching and security monitoring running afterwards.

You won't have to hand a report to another provider and hope they read it the same way. Our network and security services include managed detection and response, firewalls, DDoS protection and web application firewalls.
