Security Health Check

The Scanit security health check is designed to meet the Internet security needs of medium-to-small businesses. We have put together a package that will cover the key components of your security needs. This package is offered at a fixed price of 5.000 USD.

In short, the security health check includes the testing of the following:

• Firewall and/or proxy server configuration
• Web server security
• E-Mail security
• Anti-virus
• Workstation security

The tests will start with a penetration test performed by one of our skilled engineers. A penetration test is a simulated network attack. Think of it as a war game for the network and systems security staff. It is an excellent way to test the robustness of your security posture and to determine if your network defences are successful in detecting and deterring an attacker.

The next step is to analyse the design of the network and computer systems to identify any possible shortcomings:

• Check if the firewall and/or proxy are configured and installed to deliver maximum security, not only from attacks from the outside, but also to ensure that your employees are not able to endanger your network by running potentially dangerous software (E.g. peer-to-peer software used to exchange MP3, movies and pirated software)
• Security check of a sample of workstations. This will assure that workstations are well protected against viruses and other malicious software.
• Verify that your e-mail servers are configured correctly so that they cannot be abused for spamming or the sending of fake/malicious e-mails.
• Check the security of the web server.

At the end of the tests, Scanit deliver an audit report that describes all the tests that have been performed. The report, delivered in both hard copy as well as soft copy, will contain detailed information on the security related problems that have been found, as well as a comprehensive description on how to solve them. In addition a copy of all software tools used will be supplied. Scanit engineers are happy to be shadowed by client’s staff as we believe this helps to provide a full knowledge transfer.
