Identifying Environment Needs
Our process starts with assisting with choosing the right tools and or, options for your business. Whether you already have a solution or, you are currently seeking to purchase / replace one. We will analyze the regulatory as well as data retention requirements for your business sector and create a comprehensive list to help you choose and roll out a vulnerability management program. From the product(s) to use down to the manor in which patches are pushed and time required to do so.

Detailed Reporting
Once we have established the product(s) you will be using within your organization we will also help you create the necessary reports to include the relevant information needed for not only patching, but for the business to ascertain what exploits, vulnerabilities have been seen, the percentage it affects the business and historically how these changes are tracked, mitigated or left open until a remediation strategy can be formulated. From these efforts, we will also work closely with you to mitigate any hiccups which may deter applying patches in a timely fashion.

Validation of Findings
Patching systems is a very important part of security. However, what sometimes happens is companies are not pushing patches that are relevant to the findings of their vulnerability program. In some cases, patches are pushed when in fact the detected vulnerability is not even present on the computer and, the reporting is a false positive. We can also help to discover if in the event a particular vulnerability is plaguing a system before a patch is deployed. This not only saves your organization time and money, it can also save your company from pushing a patch which may have unforeseen implications for your data or applications and services.
