    Access our thorough
    10-step process to detect cyber vulnerabilities

    Cyber criminals are discovering new techniques to breach data. Their use of automation and artificial intelligence is a strong contender for most current cybersecurity plans. To fight back, companies need advanced technology and expert-level offensive and defensive security methods. We’ve mapped out in-depth cybersecurity resources to effectively block attacks from all angles.

    1. Discovery Consultation

    An in-person or Zoom consultation attended by you and one of our representatives in which we ask a series of discovery questions to familiarize ourselves with your hardware, software, equipment, network, IT system, configuration, infrastructure, products and processes constituting your IT environment (your “IT network”). Discovery consults are typically 60- 90 minutes in length.

    2. Install Remote Access Tool

    Following the discovery consultation, we will install a remote access software that allows our team to access and scan your network for malware and vulnerabilities.

    3. Scan for Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”)

    PII refers to any data that can be used to identify an individual. Examples include your addresses, email, phone numbers, IP addresses, banking credentials, login IDs, account details and more. Our scans determine where personal and sensitive data is located and what it contains so that we can make recommendations as to how you can ensure compliance and avoid breaches or loss.

    4. Scan for Exposure to Known Vulnerabilities

    We use trusted scanning engines to perform a vulnerability scan of your servers, cloud systems, websites and endpoint devices in order to identify cybersecurity weaknesses in your digital infrastructure and make recommendations as to what steps you may take to avoid costly data breaches.

    5. Scan Equipment and Compare with CIS Standards for Security

    CIS benchmarks are a set of best-practice cybersecurity standards for a range of IT systems and products developed by cybersecurity experts and industry research institutes. Our review analyzes whether your IT network is in line with the recommended baseline configurations to ensure compliance with industry-agreed cybersecurity standards.

     

    6. Run Phishing Test

    In this test, we create simulated phishing emails and/or webpages to be sent to you without advance notice in order to determine your security weaknesses. These simulated attacks are designed to help you understand the different forms a phishing attack can take and its identifying features, and to help you avoid clicking malicious links or leaking sensitive data in malicious forms. An overview of the test results with suggestions for improvement will be provided in the risk assessment report.

    7. Perform Dark Web Scan

    Our dark web scan checks the dark web for your information among lists of stolen data, such as usernames and passwords, social security numbers, and credit card numbers. This data is usually stolen during data breaches and is bought and sold on the dark web. If we discover your data on one of these sites, our report will advise you of the necessary next steps to protect your organization and data in the future.

    8. Run Software as a Service (SaaS) Scan

    This scan allows us to scan your network perimeter, identify potential threats relating to SaaS solutions currently in use, and provides a report of possible security risks.

     

    9. Evaluate Equipment and Infrastructure

    We take a detailed look at your hardware and infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities and bottlenecks such as outdated hardware and equipment, connectivity and integration problems, and other issues that prevent your IT network from running at its highest uptime potential. We will make recommendations for troubleshooting network elements that cause inefficiency, or may recommend a complete network overhaul if necessary.

    10. Present Results and Recommendations.

    We will provide you with a risk assessment report outlining the findings of the risk assessment, including an executive summary and detailed reports of the scans performed. You can use this risk assessment report to make strategic decisions on managing the identified risk moving forward. Our recommendations will include tasks and items which in our opinion are required to bring the environment up to the standards recommended by us. We will also make a recommendation as to the monthly reoccurring services to maintain the environments security and provide for quick and safe recovery in the event of a breach or issue.

    Assign the heavy IT problems to tech-savvy people

    Top-notch technology is the driving force behind successful companies. Let the specialized staff at IT ArchiTeks take on the legwork of maintaining your IT setup. We offer a 24/7 security operations center (SOC), backup and disaster recovery (BCDR) and co-managed IT services you can depend on.

    Upgrade to a newer, more efficient data storage

    Cloud Based Computing

    The age old model of storing company information on a server, within walls, is quickly losing traction. Cloud-based computing is the safest way to store data. That’s why many transportation and logistics companies are making the move. Yet this is not an easy concept. It takes experienced professionals to safely and effectively migrate entire networks. As a leading IT service provider, we efficiently transport data with the least disruption.

    Well-established IT environments are a business must-have. Don’t let your company fall behind.
