Evaluation: Penetration Tests and Security Audits

Penetration tests simulate real-world cyberattacks to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in systems, helping organizations understand their security weaknesses. Security audits, on the other hand, systematically evaluate policies, controls, and configurations to ensure compliance with internal standards and external regulations.

Digital Risk Management: ISS Projects and Awareness

Digital Risk Management in Information Systems Security (ISS) involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with digital assets, technologies, and data. It ensures that organizations proactively manage threats to confidentiality, integrity, and availability while aligning with business objectives and regulatory requirements.

Managed security services provide continuous monitoring, threat detection, and incident response through specialized external providers. These services help organizations prevent attacks, quickly identify breaches, and respond effectively to minimize damage and downtime.
