Get a Clear Picture of Your IT Security Risks

Unsure if your business is actually secure? We review your infrastructure, access controls, and configurations to identify common gaps before they become incidents.

Security breaches don't require sophisticated attacks. They just require an opportunity — and most businesses have several they don't know about.

audit-report.txt
  • Critical

    SSH key from former contractor still active

    A key provisioned 14 months ago for a contractor engagement was never revoked. It grants full root access to the production server.

  • Medium

    Database port 5432 exposed to 0.0.0.0/0

    The security group rule was opened "temporarily" six months ago to debug a connection issue. It was never restricted back to internal traffic only.

  • Low

    MFA disabled on shared finance mailbox

    Multi-factor authentication has been bypassed for a mailbox used by three people. Shared accounts are frequently targeted in credential-stuffing attacks.

A sanity check for your tech

We go through four key areas that commonly harbour unaddressed risk in growing businesses — and report back in plain English.

01

Identity & Access

Who has access to what — and should they still? Admin permissions accumulate over time, ex-employees linger in systems, and access revocation is rarely consistent.

What we check

  • Admin and elevated permissions by user account
  • Dormant accounts (no login in 90+ days)
  • Offboarding completeness for recent leavers
02

Secrets & Authentication

MFA bypassed here, an API key hardcoded there. Credentials that started as temporary shortcuts have a habit of becoming permanent security gaps.

What we check

  • MFA enforcement across all user accounts
  • API keys and secrets in version control or config files
  • Credential rotation policies and last-changed dates
03

Infrastructure Hygiene

Unpatched servers, open ports from old debug sessions, and security groups set to allow-all are among the most common findings — and the most avoidable.

What we check

  • OS and package patching status across all servers
  • Open ports and inbound security group rules
  • Firewall rules that are broader than required
04

Backup Status

Backup software installed is not the same as backups completing. We verify that your recovery capability is real — not assumed.

What we check

  • Backup jobs running and completing successfully
  • Destination reachability and retention window
  • Last verified restore date (can you actually recover?)

A clear report, not a list of jargon

You receive a written summary of every finding, ranked by severity, with plain-English explanations and recommended next steps you can prioritise.

  • Review of identity & access across in-scope systems
  • Check for exposed credentials and MFA gaps
  • Infrastructure and firewall configuration review
  • Backup job verification and restore capability check
  • Written report with findings ranked Critical / Medium / Low
  • Plain-English recommendations — no jargon, actionable steps

Most audits are completed within 3–5 working days depending on the size of your infrastructure and the number of systems in scope.

Is this for you?

This audit is a good fit if any of the following applies:

  • You've never had a formal security review
  • You've grown the team and aren't sure who has access to what
  • You've had staff leave and access wasn't formally revoked
  • You use cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean)
  • You handle customer data and want to understand your exposure

This is an infrastructure and configuration review, not a penetration test. It covers the systems and access you provide — not application-layer security or social engineering.
