Businesses today depend upon information systems for nearly all aspects of their financial and operational functions. IT security services provided by Grant Thornton enable your organization to identify the state of information security within your information technology environments from a management, technical and operational perspective.
These services include three distinct services that can be engaged individually or in combination by clients to develop sound IT security practices:
Security practices review - During a non-intrusive, high level security practice review, IT domains including applications, infrastructure, operations and governance are analyzed from a security perspective that is based upon a best practices gap analysis of control activities.
Security risk assessment - A security risk assessment provides a non-intrusive, detail-level process for systematically examining your IT environment to determine your tolerance for risk and the resulting security posture.
Vulnerability assessment - A vulnerability assessment involves detailed internal and external testing with scanning tools and the use of specific technical expertise to determine if controls are sufficient and operating properly.
IT security services result in detailed and practical advice in the safeguarding of corporate information assets and infrastructure, such as:
- identification of soft spots within your security infrastructure
- practical solutions on how to strengthen IT infrastructure and configurations to prevent unauthorized access
- increased knowledge of the typical progression of attacks used by unauthorized users to circumvent security
- experienced and credentialed resources, eliminating the need to hire new employees
- improved network perimeter security
- formal classification of critical information assets
