Common Questions
How often should we conduct penetration testing?
For most small businesses, annual penetration testing is sufficient, with quarterly vulnerability assessments. However, if you handle sensitive data or have recently made significant IT changes, more frequent testing may be warranted.
Will penetration testing disrupt our business operations?
We conduct all testing during agreed-upon timeframes and use safe, non-disruptive methods. Our goal is to identify vulnerabilities without affecting your day-to-day operations.
What compliance standards do you help with?
We help businesses meet requirements for ISO 27001, Australian Privacy Principles (APP), PCI DSS, and other relevant standards depending on your industry.
Do we need cybersecurity if we use cloud services?
Yes! While cloud providers secure their infrastructure, you're still responsible for configuring services properly, managing user access, and protecting your data. We help ensure your cloud setup follows security best practices.
What happens if you find security vulnerabilities?
We provide a detailed report with risk ratings, business impact assessments, and step-by-step remediation guidance. We also offer implementation support to help you fix critical issues quickly.
Can you help with cyber insurance requirements?
Absolutely. Many cyber insurance policies require regular security assessments. Our reports are designed to meet these requirements and can help you negotiate better coverage terms.
