What we look at during a Cyber Security Audit
EMAIL : MS365 or GMAIL
Phishing and Spoofing: Emails that appear to be from a trusted source (like a bank or company) but are actually designed to steal sensitive information like login credentials through deceptive links or forms.
Malware Delivery: Attaching malicious files like viruses or ransomware to emails that can infect a user’s system when opened.
Spam Emails: Unwanted bulk emails that can sometimes contain malicious links or attachments.
Weak Password Practices: Using easily guessable passwords or reusing passwords across multiple platforms, which can leave accounts vulnerable to hacking.
Data Breaches: Potential for sensitive information to be exposed if a service provider experiences a security breach.
NETWORK
DDoS attacks: Distributed Denial of Service attacks overwhelm network resources with traffic, causing service disruptions.
Malware: Malware can infect systems without the user’s knowledge, stealing information or causing damage.
Insider threats: Employees, contractors, or partners with access to sensitive data can leak information, sabotage systems, or commit fraud.
Phishing attacks: Phishing attacks trick users into giving away access to an organization’s network.
Ransomware: Ransomware encrypts files on a network or website, making the system unusable. The hacker will usually demand a ransom payment to decrypt the files.
MITM attacks: Man-in-the-middle attacks can lead to the loss of sensitive information or financial loss.
Configuration-based vulnerabilities: Weak firewalls, lack of access control, and oversight in the configuration of network devices can leave a network exposed to threats.
Advanced persistent threats (APT): Advanced persistent threats are sophisticated attacks that can originate from automated mechanisms like bots.
CLOUD
Data breaches: The most significant risk, where sensitive data stored in the cloud is accessed by unauthorised parties through vulnerabilities like phishing attacks or malware.
Data loss: Accidental deletion, system failures, or improper data management can lead to data loss in the cloud.
Insecure APIs: Unprotected application programming interfaces can be exploited by hackers to gain access to sensitive information.
Account hijacking: Cybercriminals can gain access to cloud accounts by stealing login credentials, allowing them to access sensitive data.
Insider threats: Employees with legitimate access to cloud systems may misuse their privileges to steal data or disrupt operations.
Misconfiguration: Improperly configured cloud settings can leave systems vulnerable to attacks.
Lack of visibility: Difficulty in monitoring and managing cloud environments can make it hard to detect potential threats.
Compliance issues: Failure to adhere to data privacy regulations when using cloud services.
Malware: Malicious software can infect cloud systems and compromise data integrity.
DoS attacks: Attempts to overwhelm a cloud system with traffic, causing service disruptions.
Poor access controls: Weak passwords or lack of multi-factor authentication can allow unauthorised access to cloud data.
ATTACK SURFACE MANAGEMENT
Key Points
Definition: ASM is the process of continuous discovery, analysis, prioritisation, remediation, and monitoring of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors.
Objectives:
- Increase visibility into an organisation’s security posture.
- Reduce risks posed by vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors.
- Maintain ongoing security by adapting to changes in the attack surface.
Identification: Finding all digital assets and their vulnerabilities.
Monitoring: Keeping track of changes and new vulnerabilities in real-time.
Analysis: Assessing risks associated with identified vulnerabilities.
Remediation: Taking action to fix vulnerabilities or mitigate risks.
OUR APPROACH
The engagement requires our Cyber Security expert to have Administrations rights to do the 2week monitoring of the environment.
EMAIL : MS365 and or GMAIL
CLOUD : Azure ; Google; AWS
NETWORK : Organisational Network
ASM : Suppliers List ; Domains ; & Principle Website
We deploy a monitoring bot that provides a detailed snapshot of all traffic and files in the respective pillars listed above. If the monitoring bot is disabled or not functioning, we will not proceed with the work. Organisational Administrators of the ICT environment will have full visibility into our activities and can monitor everything we are doing.

Scan for malware: Use trusted security tools to detect and remove malware.
2. Reset Credentials
Change all passwords immediately, including admin credentials, hosting accounts, database access, and associated emails.
Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication wherever possible.
3. Notify Stakeholders
Inform clients, users, and stakeholders of the breach (if their data may have been exposed) and explain the steps you’re taking to address it.
Transparency is essential to maintain trust.
4. Monitor the Dark Web
Use dark web monitoring services to track if sensitive data (e.g., customer information or payment details) is being circulated or sold.
Notify law enforcement if sensitive or financial information is detected.
5. Implement Security Measures
Update software and plugins: Ensure your CMS, plugins, and extensions are updated to the latest versions.
Harden security: Install a web application firewall (WAF), use SSL encryption, and restrict access with IP whitelisting or other controls.
Conduct a vulnerability assessment: Have experts analyze your website and hosting environment for weaknesses.
6. Develop a Response Plan
Create a data breach response plan to act swiftly in case of future incidents.
Educate your team about cybersecurity best practices to reduce risks.
7. Seek Professional Assistance
Consult cybersecurity experts or a dedicated firm like Independent Voice to perform a comprehensive audit and implement robust security measures.
