Our Services In Details

The services we offer are listed and explained below. If your organization need any or combination of these services, we encourage you to schedule a meeting with us to discuss how we can be of service to you.

System Security Engineering

  • One of the many ways that bad actors compromise most systems is through the exploitation of weakness in the system configuration process. This usually start with system administrators regardless of their roles – backup sys admin, database admin, web applications admin etc. They all have one goal in mind most of the time (just like many of us) – How can I simplify my daily task or “job”. Many use custom scripts either written by them or gotten from friend and of course from the Web – the famous repository for all the solutions to your issue. This type of solutions often provide bad actors and attackers means to find weakness in any system configuration. It is a practice that often lead to inadvertently backdoor access to many systems. Even when your system is properly configured and secured, system administrators as the trusted entity to root into the system for root level changes can cause compromise knowingly and inadvertently to your computing environment.

  • The Assurance Hawk solutions to this type security breach is to start with a security engineering that encompasses where such compromise can be mitigated without hindering the system administrators’ capabilities.

Policy Development

  • A well-developed policy has a significant impact on security implementation. Policy provides guidance, direction, process, and implications. An organization should have well developed policies that can be referenced for guidance when implement security solutions and should be revised time-to-time to reflect the organization security posture at all time.

  • At Assurance Hawk, our team of experts can help ease the burden of writing, implementing, and maintaining your organization security policies.

STIGing

  • System STIGing is one of the most efficient ways of ensuring that a system is properly configured – at least to the acceptable baseline of the system being assessed. One of the most challenging parts is knowing which STIG to apply and understanding the impact when it is applied. Organizations run custom applications that a STIG could break. Without proper analysis of a STIG, it is possible that the STIG can break an operational environment if not carefully applied. Not all organizations have a sandbox to perform test, but all still want to protect their computing systems without causing a downtime.

  • Assurance Hawk can help in simplifying this process through comprehensive analysis of necessary STIGs and GAP data to ensure that even when all appropriate STIGs can not be applied, compensating controls can be engineered to effectively protect the system environment

Security Assessment

  • Security Assessment is one of the most important if not the most necessary when assuring users that a computing environment is suitable to use for whatever service the organization computing environment is built for. Many organizations rarely perform this basic task because it is either seeing as a waste of time or unnecessary. This basic exercise has saved many organizations from serious compromise.

  • Our versatile team of assessors are always ready when needed to help your organization with this basic and very important process in computer system security.

CMMC Implementation

  • Our extensive experience within the DoD Information Assurance process is an institutional knowledge we leverage to assist customers in their CMMC compliance. And with CMMC 2.0 being mandated, compliance should not be nightmare.

  • Our team of experts with their industry and institutional knowledge of the process can help your organization get through the process with ease.

Endpoint Security

  • This is the new trend (a “new” complex challenge) in cybersecurity. Bad actors are always looking for the “weakest link” meaning the easiest device to compromise in a computing environment and leveraging that weakness to launch attack. With growing use of BYOD, API, and teleworking just to mention a few, many organizations have already relaxed their security in authorize to connect to accommodate growth, reduce cost, increase productivity and many more. While this model is a great way of reducing operational cost and increase productivity, the balance are not always evaluated.

  • Assurance Hawk team can help your organization with the design and implementation of Endpoint Security solutions that balance your organization operations and the need for BYOD, API, and teleworking etc.

  • Threat identification and management is a tactical and strategical process in information system security. Many organizations barely or never even thought of it as a critical information system management that should be invested in. Bad actors are always looking for vulnerable systems that they can compromise. Threat management is a process of getting ahead of the bad actors or at least meeting them halfway to expose their plan before it is executed.

  • Our team, with of expert skills in Threat Management can help your organization with threat management using well known industry tools and personal skills to build a threat model that your organization can leverage to mitigate threat.
