A vulnerability scan is an assessment where the operating environment of whole/part business is tested for IT security threats and vulnerabilities. These threats are posed by both internal and external attackers. Upon exploitation of vulnerabilities, significant damages may be caused to your business. The operating environment may consist of one or all or a combi­nation of the following;

• Application Services (Web Applications and Databases)
• Network (Routers and Firewalls)
• Operating Systems Software (Windows, Linux and Unix)

Our Approach

Risk Associates (RA) is renowned for its secu­rity aptitude; brains, astuteness and ethics, and these are some of the many traits which are missing from any “automated”/“do-it-yourself” scans. Manual/customized scans and reporting is what differentiates us from any other security provider in this region.

Automated/Online scans only look for ge­neric vulnerabilities and are unable to cater for any possible permutations that your op­erating environment or business may cre­ate. Un-like many other companies we don’t follow school book based or “for dummies” approach to vulnerability scanning.

Our testers have extensive accreditation, recognition and most importantly strong ethical values. RA employs industry recog­nised scanning standards such as OSST­MM, OWASP, PCI DSS, WASC) as part of their methodology.
