What is a Technical Security Audit?

This is an in-depth analysis of information systems that makes it possible to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement from a security perspective. The review covers the different elements that make up the organisation's technology environment, providing a complete view of its current situation.

Benefits of the audit

The result of the audit offers a clear and precise view of the organisation's present and future security needs. It also makes it possible to assess systems using good practices and the principles established by internationally recognised standards, such as ISO 27001, as a reference.

Thanks to this analysis, the company can learn its level of maturity in security and have objective information to define priorities and adopt improvement measures.

Network security

Analysis of the network structure, review of the devices in charge of controlling data flow, of the configuration and status of remote and wireless access devices and of protection, filtering and intrusion detection devices, as well as detection of unsecured public points.

Security of Internal Servers and Network Services

Detection of servers and services with outdated versions, of inadequate configurations of Operating Systems and Network Services and of security requirements (updates and patches, security configuration adjustments or complete hardening processes).

Systems and Data Availability Management Systems

Detection of deficiencies in the Backup Policy or its application, in Monitoring or Remote Management Systems and in Contingency and Continuity Plans or their application; detection of devices and systems that are highly critical for business continuity; and verification of the fault tolerance measures applied.

Protection Systems

Review of the security of Content Containment and Filtering Systems, detection of anomalies in the operation of application-level protection systems (Antivirus, Antispam and Content Filtering -Web, FTP, P2P...-), identification of security requirements (need for updates or patches, security configuration deficiencies and scope of action) and the possibility of legal compromise or damage to reputation.

Security of User Computers

Determine the ability of a user to perform actions without control by network administrators on or from their machine (compromising a system, accessing or sharing data or resources and installing or uninstalling software) and detection of machines that are not up to date or that have disabled or misconfigured security systems (client antivirus, personal firewalls, remote monitoring or management tools...).

Results

As a result of all the work analysing the systems and the subsequent analysis of results and documentation, the report will set out the results obtained in the security audit together with the recommendations, where necessary (on network architecture, systems...).

Some of the results, which will depend on the specific characteristics of each case, are the following:

  • Executive summary.
  • Result obtained for each of the points analysed.
  • Vulnerabilities detected and classified by severity level, along with recommendations for removing them.
  • Recommended configuration changes to the systems to improve security.
  • Recommended changes to authentication, access control and password policies...
  • Recommendations on new applications and services that help raise the security level.
  • Current network map and recommendations for changes to improve the current network topology.
  • Recommended changes to the rules of the Perimeter Protection Systems (routers, firewalls, IDS...).
  • Identification of critical points where it is advisable to improve availability.
  • Recommended changes to the different network accesses.
  • Recommendations to improve user authentication and access points on the wireless network.
  • Recommended changes to antivirus systems, their distribution and configuration.
  • Improvements to reactive security systems.
  • Recommendations, reservations and corrective actions on the technical aspects defined by ISO 27001.
