What is a Vulnerability Assessment?

This assessment involves identifying vulnerabilities that expose your business to cyber threats. We use multiple tools and scanners to identify cyber vulnerabilities across your technology landscape. We then assign a severity level to each vulnerability. This paves the road, determining what needs fixing and in what order. We present our findings in a report along with recommendations on exactly what to do to fix these gaps.

Benefits of a Vulnerability Assessment

Get a snapshot of risks to your organisation

A vulnerability assessment gives you a snapshot of risks to your organisation from cyber attack. Highlighting weaknesses helps keep you on the front foot of cyber defence.

Know what to fix and when

As well as identifying weaknesses in your cyber security, we’ll provide an order of priority so you know what to tackle and when in order to patch these vulnerabilities. Consider it a roadmap to better cyber security.

The MyEmpire Group difference

"We’re big enough to support all manner of businesses, from ma and pa’s to enterprise, but small enough to still obsess over detail."

We don’t obsess over detail to the point of paralysis, but we do take great pride in delivering exceptional work. And it’s not just because we get a thrill receiving elated client feedback, although that’s something we all share in common. Primarily it’s because we genuinely care about building cyber security systems that protect businesses. That means really learning your business and your people so we can develop a cyber security strategy suited to you, not a close-enough template pulled from a file. That’s what makes us different; we only feel satisfied when we know a job’s been done right.

Our People

Our cyber security specialists are a mixture of seasoned veterans, many with 30+ years’ experience in IT, management and security. We also have young faces on the team, our rising stars–those whose talents we recognised early and chose to invest in.

Beyond being experts in their fields, our people share a few things in common, a result of how we hire. Prior to any skills being tested in an interview, we look for personable people. Authentic, honest people who are passionate about their field and good communicators. In other words, we look for people who light up when they talk about their line of work. People whose passion is contagious. Only candidates who meet this criteria are taken through the typical interview steps where we probe skills and work history.
