Baseline Security Assessment
Askaris Cyber Security's all-inclusive Baseline Security Assessment is designed to keep your organisation's users and sensitive data safe and secure from all the growing cyber threats online.
Penetration testing
A penetration test is a great start to gaining a better understanding of your current cyber security vulnerabilities, however, our Baseline Security Assessment goes one further. We not only test your cyber defence capabilities, but we also help you meet cyber regulations, reveal your areas of vulnerability, and future risk.
360° security review
What you can't see, you can't measure. Aligned with the MIST methodology, our 360-degree cyber review gives you a highly detailed assessment of where your vulnerabilities lie, and how Askaris can help you become more effective in remediating high-risk cyber attacks using the latest strategies.
Cloud security assessment
How vulnerable is your cloud posture? As you will know, security is a critical component to successful cloud adoption, and organisations need to put measures in place when fending off increasingly complex attacks against their cloud environments.
Phishing and user awareness
Included in our baseline security assessment is our phishing and user awareness risk assessment, not only educating your workface but also saving you the extra cost at the same time.
Baseline Security Assessment
Our Baseline Security Assessment brings together key metrics into one solution to give you a fuller and more holistic view of your security posture.
Gaining a clearer view of your security vulnerabilities
Providing an inside-out and outside-in view will allow your teams:
- To be more efficient with remediation plans
- To be more effective in remediating high risk
- To gain quick wins in reducing your risk
- To allow you a clearer view of what you will need to budget for going forward
Your Security Vulnerabilities
Your organisation may have many cyber security vulnerabilities, some that you don't even know exist.
Threat
A threat will impact your organisation when a cybercriminal attempts to take advantage of a vulnerability. It could be a malicious act that aims to damage or steal data, or disrupt your organisation's assets. Threats to your organisation could include computer system viruses, data breaches, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, and other attack vectors.
Exploit
Once a cyber attacker finds a weak point, exploitation is the next step by using a vulnerability to mount an attack. An exploit into your organisation could include a piece of code, or a program, that is purposely installed to create a security vulnerability.
Vulnerability
A security vulnerability is an error, flaw or weakness in a system that could be leveraged by a cybercriminal to compromise network security. Of course, there are various types of security vulnerabilities. Let’s take a closer look at them now.
What we offer
The power to protect
Network vulnerabilities
These are issues with a network's hardware or software that expose it to possible intrusion by an outside party. Our Baseline security assessment will test your network for vulnerabilities and provide instant consultation on improvements needed to become secure.
Endpoint vulnerabilities
Every device connected to your network is an endpoint. Each device is an entry point for infection. Our Baseline Security Assessment will test areas of endpoint vulnerability and create suggestions on application security polices to improve your security robustness.
User vulnerabilities
Most cyberattacks target people, not systems. In fact, the vast majority of attacks can be traced back to human failures. Our Baseline Security Assessment will find areas of vulnerabilities and identify what you need to protect from users, this could include user permissions or initialising cyber security training internally.
System vulnerabilities
Our Baseline Security Assessment will test your system vulnerability to identify weaknesses from your IT systems that can be exploited by an attacker to deliver a successful attack on your organisation. They can occur through flaws, features or user error, and attackers will look to exploit any of them, often combining one or more, to achieve their end goal.

More than a pentest
Our penetration testing service is a great way to test your cyber security defence in the first instance. It will attempt to pierce the armour of your organisation, however, we have combined penetration testing with Phishing and User Awareness Training, a Cloud Security Assessment and our Baseline Security Assessment will provide you with an in-depth and sophisticated 360-degree cyber security review aligned with the leading NIST methodology.
- External Pen Test
- Internal Pen Test
- 360 degree Cyber Security Review aligned to NIST
- Cloud Security Assessment
- Phishing and User Awareness Risk Assessment
Security validation
Our BSA helps to validate adherence to internal policies and the effectiveness of controls across any business infrastructure. It also provides a detailed overview of the main components of many frameworks and regulations, ISO27001, COBIT, EU GDPR, DPA 2018 and PCI DSS.
We use the NIST Methodology as the basis of our assessment and reporting. We also provide simple and risk-based recommendations as part of the review, allowing organisations to clearly understand the steps they can take to reduce risk and improve their overall security culture, to better protect the organisation.
Need a baseline security assessment?
Gaining a clear view of the security risks you face can be a minefield when doing it as an internal project. Collating penetration test reports and cyber security audits to try to get one defined prioritised list of remediation, can be extremely time-consuming. That’s why the team at Askaris recognise your struggle, and that is why we’re here to help.

"A Baseline Security Assessment from Askaris really helped our IT teams identify our network vulnerabilities but also aided us in user awareness and phishing training, which we now deploy regularly throughout our entire organisation."
