Hacker attacks pose a real danger for companies of all sizes. We at Trufflepig Forensics work daily with companies that have been attacked by hackers or are actively seeking protection. Many business owners want a quick and easy solution to manage IT security for their company. That"s why we have developed a service that allows us to thoroughly examine a company"s IT in just a few weeks and present a report with vulnerabilities and solutions. Our CEO Aaron Hartel explains exactly how this works.
Small and medium-sized companies in particular often have a great need for action in terms of IT security, as they have so far invested little in the preventive protection of their IT structures. We are here to advise you on the best place to start in this case: the cyber risk analysis from Trufflepig Forensics offers companies a holistic view of their own IT security. Hartel explains: “We are able to provide a truly complete and comprehensive picture of a company"s IT security situation within a few weeks – by applying three core elements.”
The first of these three core elements is a security scan from a hacker"s perspective: “We conduct a security assessment, an external scan to identify where someone who wants to get into the system would most likely start,” explains Hartel. This allows potential vulnerabilities and existing misconfigurations to be identified directly and then eliminated in a targeted manner.
The second central aspect of the cyber risk analysis is a questionnaire on technical and organizational aspects. This enables you, as a business owner, to point out known vulnerabilities in the IT system and to carry out an initial self-assessment. This gives us an even better opportunity to address your individual needs and expectations so that we can work together with you towards this goal.
The third core element of the cyber risk analysis is the dialogue with the company"s own IT department: “We are always in close dialogue with IT. We discuss the findings that we have already collected on the basis of the external scan and the questionnaire with them again and validate them.” The experts from Trufflepig Forensics then work with the IT staff to investigate how existing security gaps in the IT system could have arisen and why they have not yet been independently remedied. “This dialog enables us to provide targeted and effective advice that also increases the company"s IT security in the long term,” says the IT security expert. The results of the cyber risk analysis are then summarized in a comprehensive report and presented to management and IT staff. Trufflepig Forensics continues to provide support even after the project has been completed: “Of course, we don"t leave the customer alone after the IT security analysis that we carry out,” emphasizes Hartel. The IT security company often continues to support its own customers in implementing the recommended measures. Truffelpig, for example, offers regular reviews to ensure effectiveness. “We offer to check our customers” systems again after a certain period of time – for example, after six or twelve months – to see what has changed and what has improved. If necessary, we can then also issue a corresponding certification," says Hartel.
