Security Audit — Review and Risk Assessment
Concerned about data security, facing compliance requirements, or unsure about vulnerabilities in your application and infrastructure? A security audit reveals the real state of your defenses — from server configuration and authentication mechanisms to sensitive data protection. Instead of a false sense of security, you get an objective risk assessment and a concrete action plan.
The problem
Applications deployed without a security review, servers running default configurations, dependencies with known CVE vulnerabilities, no access management policy, sensitive data stored and transmitted without adequate protection, missing security headers in HTTP responses. This is the typical picture of systems built under time pressure — functionality was the priority, security was deferred. The problem is that "later" often means "after the incident." Vulnerabilities are usually discovered only after a data breach, account takeover, or ransomware attack. The cost of a security breach — financial, reputational, and legal — far exceeds the cost of an audit. Regular security reviews allow threats to be identified and eliminated before they are exploited.
Scope of work
- Application security review aligned with OWASP Top 10 (2021) — broken access control, cryptographic failures, injection, security misconfiguration, and the remaining categories
- Server and infrastructure configuration review — OS hardening, firewall configuration, open ports, permissions, and service isolation
- Access management and authentication assessment — password policies, sessions, tokens, 2FA, principle of least privilege
- Dependency and third-party component vulnerability scan — libraries with known CVEs, outdated frameworks, unused packages
- Security headers and SSL/TLS configuration review — Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, protocol versions, cipher suites
- Data handling and privacy assessment — sensitive data storage practices, encryption, logging, compliance with data minimization principles
What you get
- Security audit report with identified vulnerabilities, attack vector descriptions, and potential consequences
- Risk classification matrix — vulnerabilities categorized as critical, high, medium, and low with priority justification
- Prioritized remediation plan — recommended actions ordered by risk level and implementation complexity
- Security configuration checklist — a verification list for ongoing maintenance of correct settings
- Executive summary with business risk assessment — key findings and risk evaluation in a non-technical format
