Site Security Assessment Protect your site with a security checkup.
Few measures are more cost-effective than those which ensure your business has the proper security standards in place. Our Security Assessment identifies risks to your information assets and systems based on known threats, system vulnerabilities and existing security measures. Venture and its skilled security-professional partners then evaluate these risks relative to business requirements of integrity, confidentiality and availability. Our assessment prioritizes risks compared to the business value and level of security desired. Different levels of security are required based upon which data and/or system is being protected.

A comprehensive picture of your security program.
Our Site Security Assessment provides you with a complete overview of what your business is doing (both right and wrong) to protect your information sources. And it shows what it's not doing that it should be. This assessment outlines in detail the actions you can take to reduce network and staff related security risks to your information resources. A Site Security Assessment is vital in helping you improve operational efficiencies and costs of your enterprise-wide security solutions.

Structuring enterprise-wide security solutions.
A Site Security Assessment typically includes the following:

• A review of existing computer usage, security policies, and administrative procedures

• An assessment of typical physical protections applied to computing equipment and network components

• A technical and procedural analysis of the client network architecture, protocols and critical networking components

• A review of the configuration, implementation and usage of remote access systems and external network connections, including the client Internet connection

• An inspection of the configuration of external Web servers

• A review of password and authentication usage

• An examination of the configuration of critical servers within the client network using your defined security policy statements and objectives as criteria, we verify that the hardware architecture, software, and procedures support your security objectives.

Getting a handle on security in four easy steps.

1. Information is gathered using our proprietary Site Survey Questionnaire, a detailed document that allows us to better understand your network architecture, supported protocols, operating systems, applications, server types, network services, access controls, identification and authentication mechanisms, security objectives, documented and informal policies, and more.

2. On-site interviews are conducted to verify previously obtained information.

3. We perform an on-site technical and procedural risk analysis.

4. We draft a Security Assessment Report.

Verified results you can count on, and act on.
Venture will deliver a Security Assessment Report that contains an executive security overview, listing of vulnerabilities and prioritized risks, mitigation recommendations and relative implementation costs. The recommendations may also include identification of appropriate perimeter controls, data encryption, and identification and authentication methods. The report will be delivered in a bound hard copy and in electronic form on diskette in Microsoft Word™-compatible format.
