    Identifying Security Risks and Vulnerabilities through application, infrastructure, social engineering, web, mobile and cloud testing.

    People, process and technology are your risk factors in your security. Use Ward Solutions social engineering assessment as part of a more holistic testing regime, to determine the posture of your people, your physical infrastructure and your process and to make recommendation as to how any identified weakness may be remediated.

    A significant element of modern attacks on organisations information systems is perpetrated using social engineering in some form, whether through phishing, vishing, smishing, invoice redirection or physical compromise of facilities. In our experience physical, personnel and organisational controls are just as important as Industry leading security technology in securing Information Systems. This aspect of security is often forgotten in an organisations security assessment

    As part of our Security Assurance services use our Social Engineering services to help test and validate your physical, organisational and personnel Information Security posture against best practices, your own policies, procedures and compliance frameworks.

    Use our Social Engineering services to:

    • Perform risk assessment of your physical, organisation and personnel risks associated with your Information Systems.
    • Test your physical controls of your Information assets.
    • Test your organisational controls of your Information assets.
    • Test your personnel controls and your personnel Information Security awareness.
    • Identify and Determine mitigation strategies to address any identified short comings.
    • Perform ongoing representative phishing tests to determine likelihood of your staff being compromised through this threat vector. Measurement of your vulnerability such as read and click through rates gives you an indicator of progress of end user education and awareness programs.

    • Your organisation benefits from enhanced security. Test and identify vulnerabilities in physical and organisational controls.
    • Our service enables SMART mitigation. Our engagement will identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely mitigations to any vulnerabilities or risk identified.
    • You benefit from increased end user awareness. Conduct of a social engineering test with proactive and constructive feedback to any participants in the test generally raises security awareness of the threat.
    • We provide an independent objective Service. Ward experts can objectively and expertly assess the risk, vulnerabilities, potential impact and make recommendations as to prioritised mitigations continually.
    • Your organisation receives measurable results. Our service can provide the relevant vulnerability metrics to show progress of your security programs or mitigation activities.

    Identifying Security Risks and Vulnerabilities through application, infrastructure, social engineering, web, mobile and cloud testing. In a world where the biggest giants are hit, it is so risky to not conduct a test or scan on a regular basis.
