Business IT Risk Assessment – IT Service Audit for Los Angeles Businesses
You understand the value of your IT and network to your business. IT management and network security for your organization must be managed by certified professionals who maintain standard procedures to secure business networks. Allow Geek Force USA’s professionals to assess all areas of your IT systems and network. When we first meet with a new customer, we first inspect, evaluate, and audit the scenario, after which we report on the issues & vulnerabilities discovered. Cloud solutions, network management, data security, backup systems, servers, firewalls, user permissions, desktops, software, and hardware are all tested as part of our IT & cyber security risk assessment.
We’ll assess your IT infrastructure and deliver recommendations on how to improve it. With our support, you can increase your network’s performance while lowering your company’s IT costs. Suppose your system requires upgrades, maintenance, or other enhancements, we will notify you and provide a thorough finding report and a proposal with our suggestions, followed by a Managed Service Agreement for continuous support, maintenance, and regular upkeep.
Our IT audit and cyber security assessment take into account the following factors:
IT Consultation on-site or remotely
We spend the time collecting as much information as possible to provide you with the most effective solutions possible. To do so, we use a hybrid strategy that includes running automatic cyber security assessment tools on your network and conducting a manual evaluation and investigation. Reviewing your network technology and potential risks allows us to understand your infrastructure fully.
Analyze Network Security Proactively
We perform a security audit of your Active Directory configuration and compare your email accounts to known breaches on the dark web to see if your credentials have been exposed. Our technical support experts will monitor your IT networks around the clock for complete network management. You can relax knowing your assets are safe when your IT networks and systems are fully protected.
Exploration of the Dark Web
Is your password available for purchase on the dark web after it was compromised? We’ll check your email account to determine if any of your users’ credentials have been leaked into the dark web. Malicious actors steal unprotected credentials from public organizations such as Facebook and LinkedIn and sell them on the dark web. We can perform a dark web scan to see whether your user passwords have been compromised.
Endpoint Scanning, Security Analysis, and Virus Scanning
Everyone understands they need an antivirus to stay safe, but with the rise of cyber security threats, it’s more necessary than ever to have the appropriate antivirus. Let us analyze your current solution if you aren’t already using a well-tested and verified cloud-managed antiviral solution or aren’t sure that you have. We also check to determine if your firm is secured by a robust cyber security solution such as an EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) or MDR (Managed Detection and Response).
Detection of Spam and Malware in Emails
Are you getting a lot of spam? Have you ever experienced phishing emails sent to your company? An enterprise-class managed spam filtering service is essential for preventing junk mail and aggressive malware from reaching your staff. Let us assess your current spam protection and recommend a better solution that will keep more spam out of your inbox.
Analyze Backup and Data Recovery Solutions
Are you safe from cyber threats that lead to data loss? Many businesses feel they are, but their backup solutions fall short when put to the test. Let us examine your infrastructure backups to ensure you’re protected in the event of data loss due to configuration errors or a shortage of a robust enough solution.
Power Protection System Evaluation
Are your UPS overworked, or do the batteries appear to be failing? Let’s look at your present power protection measures to ensure you’re safe from power outages.
Inspection of a Business Continuity Plan in the event of failure
Will you lose productivity if every system you rely on fails? Do you have a plan to ensure that your team continues to generate money in the case of a disaster? We can provide the best solution to limit your downtime to a minimum because we have a staff with experience with disaster recovery planning for companies of all kinds
Check Network Failover and Internet Speed & Capacity
Is your internet connection slowing you down? Is your firewall restricting internet access and lowering employee productivity? Do you have a firewall or router that can use redundant internet connections and provides WAN failover, which means that if one ISP fails, the second ISP automatically takes over (known as WAN failover)? Let us evaluate your internet connections, analyze the data, and recommend methods to improve your internet & cloud service access.
Check for Outdated Hardware and Supporting Software
End-of-life software and operating systems with security weaknesses are one of the most common sources of breaches. It is critical to upgrade your system with the available operating systems that can securely patch in this new age of cyberattacks. We can assess the support status and age of your present server & workstation operating systems and help you replace or update them. We’ll also estimate the age of your servers, networking equipment, desktops & laptops and suggest replacing outdated, slow & vulnerable hardware.
Review of Secure Remote Connection and VPN Solutions
With dynamic cyber security solutions, you can boost your remote workforce. You may already be using remote access in some manner, but when was the last time you checked the configuration? When using any remote access, it’s critical to have security in place. We can assess your present solution and make changes to increase cyber security so that you can rest assured that your firm is secure when employees work from home.
Analysis of Cloud-based Solutions
Do you want to switch to a cloud network infrastructure but aren’t sure where to begin? Have you migrated your applications to the cloud and aren’t happy with the results? Allow us to assess your infrastructure so that we can provide you with the best advice on being as effective as possible. We can enable you to make the best technological solutions that increase productivity and meet your technology budget, from Office 365 Apps to infrastructure as a service.
Auditing of Active Directory User Accounts
During our audits, we’ll look at your active directory to see if there are any inactive or weak accounts or security practices that hackers could use to obtain unauthorized access to your network and sensitive information. According to our research, many competing managed service providers do not have a method to disable terminated employees’ active directory user accounts. A business owner’s nightmare will cause if terminated employees’ active directory user accounts are not correctly disabled.
Security Auditing of Active Directory Group Policies
We assess your security-related group policies. For instance, do your PCs lock after 15 minutes of inactivity? Do you restrict password complexity? Have you scheduled your passwords to expire in 3-6 months? Can your users connect USB hard drives to their computers and copy data? Do you know which staff should have remote access and limited or no access? Can your users install software and perform scripts if they have direct exposure?
Scan for External Security breaches
An external cyber security and security scan is conducted from outside an organization’s network to identify flaws in your cyber infrastructure’s perimeter defenses, such as ports and services in the network firewall. Recognizing security weaknesses helps organizations address security flaws that could allow hackers to access their network, such as unprotected transfer protocols or servers configured with outdated services
Check for Necessary Security Patches and Assess Configuration Management
We’ll check out the current patch management program’s effectiveness by looking at a high-level overview of missing security updates and service packs throughout the entire network and on each workstation. Use this information to apply critical patches to your network, lowering the overall risk and ensuring the security of your company’s necessary data.
A Certified Computer Services Network Consultant Will Review the Efficiency & Reliability of Your Infrastructure
Since businesses are concerned about data theft and security, a security mechanism can provide complete data protection. We will test security holes on all computer systems, networking devices, servers, and peripherals. The following process is to submit a report that includes a network analysis & network improvement approach.
