We identify vulnerabilities, enforce data protection measures, and ensure compliance with the latest security standards.

- Type: agency

## The service

GigLabo runs technical security audits: a detailed inspection of an organization's IT infrastructure, identifying and assessing vulnerabilities in systems and software applications, pinpointing weaknesses and recommending improvements.

## Why run one

- **Protection against cyber threats** — finding vulnerabilities before attackers do, guarding against data breaches and ransomware.
- **Enhancing system performance** — audits often surface inefficiencies or misconfigurations that slow operations down.
- **Building client confidence** — regular technical audits demonstrate a commitment to safeguarding both the company's and its clients' data.

## What the audit includes

- **Vulnerability assessment** — scanning systems to identify and evaluate exploitable vulnerabilities.
- **Penetration testing** — simulating attacks to test how well the system withstands them.
- **Risk assessment** — analyzing the potential impact of the identified vulnerabilities.
- **Security policy review** — evaluating the policies and practices currently in place.
- **Access controls review** — who has access to what, and whether those levels are appropriate.
- **Audit trails and logging review** — whether logging and monitoring capture and store security-relevant information.
- **Incident response evaluation** — the ability to respond to incidents and breaches.
- **Encryption practices evaluation** — how data at rest and in transit is protected.

## Facts from the FAQ

- **Frequency:** at least annually, or more often when the environment changes, compliance rules shift, or new systems are introduced.
- **Vulnerability assessment vs penetration test:** the assessment identifies and prioritizes vulnerabilities; the penetration test actively exploits weaknesses to measure resilience. Both belong in a robust strategy.
- **Duration:** depends on the size and complexity of the audited systems; a customized timeline follows an initial consultation.
- **Disruption:** audits are designed to be minimally invasive and are scheduled with the client's IT team for off-peak or low-impact windows.
- **Deliverable:** a detailed report with findings, identified vulnerabilities, potential impacts and recommended actions.
- **Preparation:** have system documentation and previous audit reports accessible, and review existing security policies and procedures beforehand.
