Cyber Security Audit
A cyber security audit will help us review your current security footprint and identify your weak spots, and opportunities for improvement.
A Firstline IT security audit is the first step in your IT security solution. An in-depth review of your IT systems will give us the information we need to determine your current security footprint, and how we tailor a plan to improve it.
How it works
Our cyber security audit is carried out collaboratively with you and your team, giving you full control over the process. We begin by getting to know your business, your priorities and your budget, then carry out a thorough review of your systems and network. Finally, we get to know your teams and assess their current knowledge and awareness of cyber security best practice.
By the end of this step you will have received:
- A thorough and comprehensive cyber security report with an assessment of your current security posture explained in plain English
- A remediation action plan, giving you our expert view of the prioritised steps you need to take to improve your security posture based on your budget and appetite for risk

Our cyber security audit is based on three key areas:
1. Understanding your business
We invest the time to understand what makes your business unique. We get to know your business objectives, your organisational structure, staff roles and responsibilities and locations of critical systems and sensitive data. This context allows us to tailor our assessment to your business and recommend steps based on your priorities and budget.
2. A thorough review of your systems and network
We will establish a security baseline through a review of your current network infrastructure, endpoint assessments, access point scans, perimeter control reviews, wireless security measures, mobile devices, software patching, data management controls and measures, any current business continuity measures, log monitoring processes and data centre procedures. We can also carry out penetration testing where required.
3. How your teams operate and how they are governed
We review all your current IT policies and assess how well they are followed and enforced. In addition, we conduct staff interviews and observations to monitor user behaviour, training and awareness measures.
4. Your cyber security report
We bring together our findings to present you with a straightforward yet comprehensive cyber security report. Our jargon-free, simple language will give you a good understanding of your current security risk and the steps you need to take to improve it.
Because we’ve taken time to get to know your business, our report will be based on an understanding of your appetite for risk vs cost, giving you an action plan tailored to your priorities and budget. We do not recommend solutions if you don’t need them or have the budget to invest in them.
