What is a Security Audit?

An IT security audit is a systematic and comprehensive evaluation of your IT infrastructure, web applications, and security policies. At SEQUR.CA, our cybersecurity experts meticulously analyze every aspect of your digital environment to identify potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors.

Our methodical approach combines automated analysis with in-depth manual testing to discover security flaws that standard tools might miss. We assess not only your technical systems but also your organizational processes and employee security awareness.

Our Security Audit Services

Penetration Testing

Our penetration tests simulate real-world attacks conducted by hackers. By adopting an attacker's perspective, we identify possible exploitation paths in your infrastructure. This proactive approach allows you to fix critical vulnerabilities before they are discovered and exploited by actual cybercriminals.

We perform black-box testing (no prior system knowledge), gray-box (partial knowledge), or white-box testing (full access to documentation), depending on your specific needs and objectives.

Vulnerability Assessment

Our vulnerability assessment uses cutting-edge tools combined with human expertise to scan your network, servers, applications, and databases. We identify misconfigurations, outdated software, missing patches, and known security flaws that could expose your sensitive data.

Each discovered vulnerability is classified by criticality (critical, high, medium, low) and accompanied by detailed remediation recommendations, including action priorities based on actual risks to your organization.

Configuration Audit

We analyze the configuration of your operating systems, firewalls, routers, web servers, and other network equipment to ensure they comply with industry best practices and recognized security standards such as CIS Benchmarks, NIST, and ISO 27001.

Professional Methodology

Our security audits follow a proven methodology compliant with international standards including OWASP, PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard), and OSSTMM. Each engagement follows these key steps:

• Planning and reconnaissance: Scope definition, preliminary information gathering
• Scanning and enumeration: Identification of systems, services, and technologies in place
• Vulnerability analysis: Detection and validation of security flaws
• Exploitation: Controlled tests to confirm the real impact of vulnerabilities
• Reporting: Detailed documentation with proof-of-concept and recommendations
• Follow-up: Assistance with implementing fixes
