Our Consultancy Services

Website Vulnerability Assessment
AvauntGuard provides vulnerability assessment services to help companies or government agencies evaluate (internally and externally) the compliance of security controls against existing corporate or government security guidelines, at any point in time. Our analysis quantifies the systems and network environments from an operational perspective and provides recommendations for the implementation of sound security procedures.

System Security Audit
AvauntGuard offers a comprehensive security audit review service that includes: improper access control configuration, insufficient or non-existent passwords, improper system and network integrity and necessary system and application software updates and patches. The benefits to our clients are optimum system and network access control configurations, improved password/registry/bindery profiles, security authentication baseline reports, network and system security integrity checks, security support flows for network and system administration, and problem resolution and escalation procedures.

Penetration Testing
Our penetration testing evaluates the strength of current security defenses against unwanted intrusions. These are done both internally and externally. The tests are conducted manually and with a series of non-destructive probes. The tests include: a review of user and group permissions, security descriptions, access token functions, impersonation functions and access control lists for the network domains of interest. The tests also review the file and server for selected accounts, especially administrator privilege accounts: network trust for servers, insecure partitions, users with excessive rights, guest ID, and infrequently used logins.

Security Awareness Training
We provide onsite Security Awareness Training programs to show clients and their employees the latest sets of threats on the internet. We use your
company’s Security Policies & Procedures to properly tailor the course. Employees are asked to complete a test at the end of each session. Appropriate handouts and Certificates of Completion are given upon successfully passing the test.

A close up on Penetration Testing:
From a business perspective, penetration testing helps safeguard your organisation against failure, through:

1. Preventing financial loss through fraud (hackers, extortionists and disgruntled employees) or through lost revenue due to unreliable business systems and processes.

2. Proving due diligence and compliance to your industry regulators, customers and shareholders. Non-compliance can result in your organisation losing business, receiving heavy fines, gathering bad PR or ultimately failing. At a personal level it can also mean the loss of your job, prosecution and sometimes even imprisonment.

3. Protecting your brand by avoiding loss of consumer confidence and business reputation.

From an operational perspective, penetration testing helps shape information security strategy through: identifying vulnerabilities and quantifying their impact and likelihood so that they can be managed proactively; budget can be allocated and corrective measures implemented.
