A network configuration assessment reviews the design and settings of network devices and controls to identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and unnecessary risk. It evaluates components such as firewalls, routers, switches, segmentation, access control rules, and network services against security best practices. By identifying overly permissive rules, legacy configurations, and design gaps, a network configuration assessment helps ensure the network is securely configured, well-segmented, and aligned with an organization’s overall cybersecurity strategy.

A cloud security assessment evaluates the configuration, architecture, and controls of cloud environments to identify risks unique to cloud platforms. It reviews areas such as identity and access management, network segmentation, data protection, logging, and compliance with cloud provider best practices. By identifying misconfigurations and security gaps across services like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, a cloud security assessment helps ensure cloud resources are securely deployed, properly monitored, and aligned with an organization’s overall cybersecurity strategy.

A password audit evaluates the strength and management of an organization’s passwords and authentication practices. It identifies weak, reused, or compromised credentials, as well as gaps in password policies, multi-factor authentication, and account management procedures. By uncovering vulnerabilities in how passwords are created, stored, and enforced, a password audit helps organizations reduce the risk of unauthorized access, credential-based attacks, and account compromise, strengthening the foundation of overall cybersecurity.

A security policy assessment evaluates an organization’s existing security policies, procedures, and governance frameworks to ensure they are comprehensive, effective, and aligned with industry best practices. It reviews policies covering areas such as access control, data protection, incident response, and acceptable use, identifying gaps, inconsistencies, or outdated practices. By providing actionable recommendations, a security policy assessment helps organizations strengthen compliance, improve security governance, and ensure that people, processes, and technology work together to support a strong overall cybersecurity posture.

A security risk assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of an organization’s systems, processes, and assets to identify, analyze, and prioritize potential security threats. It examines vulnerabilities, potential attack vectors, and the likelihood and impact of security incidents, taking into account people, technology, and physical controls. By highlighting risks and providing actionable recommendations, a security risk assessment helps organizations make informed decisions, strengthen defenses, and align their security strategy with business objectives to reduce the likelihood and impact of breaches.

Our Approach
With roots in education and hands-on training, our network configuration assessments are designed to help your team understand not just what we find, but why it matters and how to fix it. From day one, you’ll have direct access to our testers through a dedicated communication channel, where we provide ongoing updates and context around our findings. We also offer the option for your team to shadow our testers, giving firsthand insight into real-world adversary techniques and practical ways to strengthen defenses.
At the conclusion of the engagement, you’ll receive a detailed report that clearly prioritizes security issues by risk to support efficient remediation. Our reports also highlight areas where your security controls are performing well – giving technical teams, managers, and executives a balanced, actionable view of your security posture.
Our Methodology
All testing performed is based on the NIST SP 800-115 Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment, OWASP Testing Guide (v4), and customized testing frameworks.
Our network configuration assessment process includes the following steps:
Plan
Customer goals are gathered and clear rules of engagement are established to guide the engagement.
Discover
Perform scanning and enumeration to identify potential vulnerabilities, weak areas, and exploits within the environment.
Report
Document identified vulnerabilities, exploits, failed attempts, and key security strengths and weaknesses.

Why Network Security Matters
A secure and properly configured network is a critical foundation for an organization’s overall cybersecurity strategy. Misconfigured devices, overly permissive rules, and gaps in segmentation can create hidden pathways for attackers to access sensitive systems and data. A network configuration assessment examines firewalls, routers, switches, and other network components to identify and remediate these weaknesses. By ensuring your network is correctly configured and aligned with best practices, this service strengthens your defenses, reduces the risk of breaches, and supports a resilient, layered approach to cybersecurity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Network Configuration Assessment
How does a network configuration assessment differ from a network penetration test?
Network configuration assessments review device settings and architecture for weaknesses, while penetration tests actively attempt to exploit vulnerabilities.
How does a network configuration assessment help prevent lateral movement or unauthorized access?
By identifying misconfigurations and overly permissive rules, the assessment reduces the risk that attackers can move through the network or access sensitive systems.
What network devices are included (firewalls, routers, switches, VPNs)?
Assessments typically cover firewalls, routers, switches, VPNs, and other critical network devices.
Will the assessment disrupt network operations?
No, it is designed to be non-intrusive and avoid impacting normal network functionality.
Is it safe to perform a network configuration assessment on production networks?
Yes, the assessment can be safely performed on live environments without causing downtime or disruption.
