External Security Audit – Red Cell

Prosectra provides several security auditing services to determine your company’s exposure to security breaches. Our Red Cell / External Security Audit includes a wide range of tests that can be performed to detect existing vulnerabilities.

To properly test your security systems, it is absolutely necessary to conduct independent 3rd party testing based on security standards and formal testing methodologies. Regular testing of your security system can help insure its proper operation at the time of an emergency.

An External Security Audit will test your security system and management for vulnerability to a wide range of exploits. Typical completion time for an External Security Audit on small companies is 5 days. At the end of this process, you’ll receive a detailed report showing how we accomplished a given breach of security and identifying the security weaknesses that allowed it.

Recommendations will be provided to correct the security flaws discovered.

Testing of Security Systems, either physical or procedural, can be done by penetration. The method is an intrusive live test of the effectiveness of security defenses through mimicking the actions of real-life adversaries. Any testing will be thoroughly documented and have a clear set of rules of engagement including what is considered a compromise of security. The results should be used to validate the organization’s Risk Management Plan.

Our agents will, acting in an undercover capacity, attempt to gain unauthorized access to secure facilities in such a manner that weapons, explosives, chemical/biological agents, listening devices or other hazardous material could have been brought into these facilities.

They will further attempt to obtain security-related information by someone who does not have the clearance and need to know. Test of security can include attempts to acquire or duplicate access badges, keys or security documents as well testing the strength of physical barriers.
