Cybersecurity Assessment Services

The focus is on understanding and mitigating risks by aligning with reliable cybersecurity frameworks and standards.
ESA Methods
Modernizing Cybersecurity Through Human-Centered Methods
We recognize that behind every security threat there is human involvement. The digital landscape is evolving and so are the methods of perpetrators. As cybersecurity threats become more sophisticated, your organization becomes more vulnerable to internal and external threats.
That’s why at Secure Halo, our Enterprise Security Assessment (ESA) methodology emphasizes the critical role of human behavior in fortifying cybersecurity defenses. This strategy focuses on preempting security incidents, and swiftly responding to minimize both operational disruptions and reputational damage.
Our ESA evaluates an extensive array of policies, procedures, behaviors, and technical security controls, tailoring its insights to the specific needs of each client. We draw on best practices and standards from NIST, COBIT, ISO, PCI-DSS, and CIS alongside our in-house expertise to gauge cyber risks and evaluate existing security programs.
Our ESA process is comprehensive and will enable you to begin securing your areas of greatest risk and value through a human-centered approach.
Our Process
How Our Assessment Process Works
Secure Halo’s ESA approach examines six interconnected domains, each critical to a holistic security strategy.
Secure Halo’s ESA process is implemented through detailed review and collaboration between our senior threat analysts and client experts. This interactive approach fosters immediate security awareness and cultivates an embedded security culture within your organization.
Data Security
We conduct thorough assessments focused on enterprise IT resources that pinpoint risks from sophisticated attacks. Our evaluations cover endpoint, server, and network security controls to detect commonly exploited vulnerabilities within IT environments.
External Business Operations
We scrutinize the security implications of external partnerships and supply chains by assessing administrative, technical, and human-related vulnerabilities introduced by these relationships.
Internal Business Operations
Our evaluation of this domain begins with the effectiveness of internal administrative strategies designed to protect critical assets, with a focus on the robustness of information security programs.
Physical Security
Our unique approach assesses physical security risks from an adversarial viewpoint, considering both traditional security measures and intellectual asset protection.
Insider Threat
We delve into the risks posed by both malicious and unintentional insider actions, the second being the cause for the majority of security incidents.
Mobility
We address the challenges of mobile security in business travel and BYOD policies by assessing the risks related to mobile data exposure and access vulnerabilities.
