Security

We offer a comprehensive suite of security services that provide cost-effective solutions to support the identification and elimination of vulnerabilities.  Our assessment services help you to measure improvement, evaluate process efficiencies, and manage your organization's risk posture.  Employing our proven methodology, extensive experience, and specialized expertise, our primary goal is to improve your organization’s reliability, security, and regulatory compliance through a comprehensive approach and seamless due diligence. Even though the following services can be used individually, they are best used together in a complete process.

Vulnerability and Risk Assessment
The Mesa Group security team has an in-depth experience in vulnerability assessments in a wide range of environments.  We have performed vulnerability assessments on networks, web applications, servers, databases, VoIP, firewalls, network infrastructure, wireless, and PBX systems.  Our approach delivers substantiated findings and actionable recommendations for both the technical audience and the boardroom.

Regulatory and Compliance Assessments
We work with management, risk management groups, and information security management teams to evaluate your security program's alignment with and support of business processes and goals. Our assessment ascertains that your program complies with the necessary legal and regulatory requirements and that it supports the overall risk management program. It also evaluates your security management program components, including policies and procedures, security strategy, the selection of solutions, and the collection and management of metrics. 

Application Security Assessments
Despite increasing awareness of the need to protect application security, much of the software development testing process remains focused on functional testing.   The Mesa Group security team can help you identify issues that will never be uncovered using that approach. In fact, our experts frequently discover security vulnerabilities that even newer technologies—such as web application vulnerability scanners—have failed to detect.

Physical and Operational Vulnerabilities
In this step, we will help your organization accurately identify and understand the current vulnerabilities within your architecture by performing the necessary vulnerability assessments from both a vulnerability perspective as well as a controls perspective.  Mesa performs vulnerability assessments for physical, operations, and cyber vulnerabilities.

Threat Modeling
Every organization is unique and so are the threats that an organization may face. Our security experts are qualified to address concerns exactly like these. Through a process of technical, environmental, organizational, and operational analysis, combined with staff evaluations, we will build a threat model specific to your organization and environment providing specialized data needed for a proper risk analysis.

Compliance Gap Analysis
A gap analysis is the final step that brings the entire assessment process together. We will review all of your written policies and procedures, as well as all of the data collected from each of the other steps within the assessment phase, and compare it against all of the standards you are required to comply with. This can be industry standards as well as internal standards.

Mitigation & Remediation
In the mitigation phase, we will work with you to build an effective mitigation roadmap and then help you put your plan into action using our workflow management process specifically for risk management and compliance mitigation. From start to finish, we will help you enhance your policies and procedures, put the necessary safeguards in place, minimize your risk, and bring your organization up to compliance. Our team is also completely vendor agnostic/independent allowing us to impartially analyze the data from the assessment phase and present to you the most flexible, reliable, and comprehensive security solution for your organization.
