What is a Security Position Review?

A Whitehelm Security Position Review provides a high level overview of the current state of your security processes and infrastructure, identifies potential business risks and provides a roadmap to achieve your security goals.

It is intended as a quick snapshot of your organisation’s current security status. However like all Whitehelm service offerings it is tailored to the exact requirements of each client.

Example Use Cases

• Security Baseline prior to major project work.
• Initial analysis prior to compliance or certification process (e.g. ISO 27001).
• Validation of security infrastructure against current threat landscape.
• First stage of security enhancement project.

Methodology

The assessment will be based on a review of the available documentation and interviews with relevant IT & business area staff and inspection of system configurations. It will typically not involve the carrying out of any active penetration testing or detailed vulnerability assessment although elements of these may be included if desired.

Deliverables

Although the exact deliverables would be customised to the clients requirements, typical deliverables could include:-

• Management Report - High level overview of security position highlighting areas of significant business risk
• Technical Findings - more detailed technical background
• Benchmarking - against similar organisations & best practice
• Gap Analysis - against key requirements - e.g. regulatory requirements or standards
• Security Roadmap - phased & prioritised recommendations for addressing identified risks & outline plan/scope of work for achieving desired security goals.
