CYBER SECURITY & INTELLIGENCE
Is your business safe? Your assets and data secure? How do you know? You have security in place, but does it work… let bitConcat Cyber Security help secure your business.
HOW TO TELL IF YOUR BUSINESS IS SECURE
Think about your most valuable assets. Your customer information, your data, your intellectual property. How do you know it is safe? You may have your firewalls, your protections but do you know they work?
To ensure their effectiveness, it is crucial to test them. The most reliable approach is to engage an independent cyber security consultant with the same skill set as threat actors. Don’t leave your security to chance. Make sure the money you invest in security is well spent.
HOW TO GET SECURE AND INCREASE PROFITS
Our cyber security audits are often used independently to assess a company’s security posture and baseline, or in line with helping to determine regulatory compliance, in the wake of current increased legislation (such as DPA, PCI DSS, GDPR) that specifies how organisations must deal with information.
Gaining a certain level of established security baseline and/or compliance with regulation can often aid a business to open doors. Lucrative sales and investment channels and partnerships open up which were otherwise closed off. These include government contracts; work with companies who have strict 3rd party security agreements in place. Security can drive business and your bottom line in addition to securing your organisations future.
CYBER COMPLIANCE?
Compliance has a number of competitive advantages. From building customer and partner trust to enabling our clients to work with governments throughout the world. Any decent-sized organisation needs to prioritise compliance, risk assessments, and audits. By aligning our clients with preferred frameworks, we help them develop and compete effectively in their industry sector.
The gains far outweigh the time and investment many times over. With penalties for data breaches growing just showing you take security seriously is an absolute necessity in modern business not a choice.
GDPR
The EU GDPR extends the data rights of individuals and places a range of new obligations on organisations that process personal data.
GDPR has transformed how personal data is collected, shared, and used globally. Organisations will need to make changes to policies and processes, as well as technical and organisational measures.
COBIT
COBIT enables clear policy development and good practice for IT control throughout an organisation, emphasizing regulatory compliance whilst helping to increase the value attained from IT.
When properly implemented, COBIT standard allows evaluation and control of the information environment so that it constantly contributes to the company’s operational and business objectives.
ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is the international standard that provides the specification for an information security management system (ISMS).
The Standard is designed to help organisations manage their information security processes in line with international best practice. Technology and vendor neutral it is applicable to all organisations – irrespective of their size, type, or nature.
CYBER ESSENTIALS
Implementing these five controls correctly will help protect your organisation and commercially sensitive data.
Certification shows your commitment to security, demonstrating to your business partners, regulators, and suppliers that you take cyber security seriously, it gives you a competitive advantage, particularly with rivals without accreditation. Certification is a mandatory requirement to work with the UK government.

Are You Looking FOR A CONSULTANT?
HOW WE WORK
A bitConcat compliance audit is a comprehensive review of your organisation’s adherence to regulatory guidelines. Our Independent professional security consultants will evaluate the strength and thoroughness of your compliance preparations and adherence. Auditors will review many targets including but not limited to, security polices, user access controls, risk management procedures over the course of a full compliance audit.
What we look at
The content of our compliance audits varies depending on factors such as the organisation’s nature (public or private), the type of data it handles, and whether it transmits or stores sensitive financial information. The specific regulations applicable to the audit also play a role. For example, Sarbanes-Oxley requirements necessitate backing up and securing electronic communications with robust disaster recovery infrastructure and policies. Healthcare providers that store or transmit health records, such as personal health information, are subject to alternative regulations. Financial services companies who transmit credit card data are most certainly subject to PCI DSS requirements. In each case, your organisation must be able to demonstrate compliance by producing a comprehensive audit trail.
Hands on Audit
bitConcat compliance auditors will generally ask your CIOs, CTOs and IT administrators/department heads a combination of targeted questions. These will be asked over the course of a thorough audit. These questions may include, but are not limited to, who added users and when, who has left the company, whether user IDs are revoked, and which IT administrators have access to critical systems.
IT administrators usually prepare for compliance audits using event log managers and robust change management process software. These will allow tracking and documenting authentication and controls in your IT systems. bitConcat will independently strive to comprehensively audit in a thorough and helpful manner. Enabling your organisation to be fully compliant and will therefore not be subject to costly fines or business sanctions.

This insight enables penetration testing services to be more targeted and focused in their approach.
We are certified professionals and provide threat intelligence services globally.
PENETRATION TESTING
Penetration testing ensures that products, applications, and networks are sufficiently robust to cope with cyber threats.
Prior to penetration testing being conducted, specific threat understanding can be acquired to provide added insight into contemporary cyber risks. Penetration testing can then mimic the approaches that real, current threat actors can adopt in attacking the network, identifying relevant security weaknesses, vulnerabilities and possible attack vectors in the process.
We conduct these tests to minimise detection, simulating the strategies employed by actual attackers. This allows us to identify critical security weaknesses and assess the effectiveness of SOC and security monitoring capabilities. We measure how quickly they detect an ongoing attack and evaluate their response.
This approach enables us to offer comprehensive and relevant recommendations which enable organisations to determine the best way to allocate resources to further enhance their protections and more effectively mitigate their cyber risks.
We are certified professionals and provide security testing services to a wide range of industry sectors.
