Businesses and public-sector organisations face a bewildering array of cyber security threats. Some 70% of those threats originate on an increasingly large and diverse set of endpoints, increasing the attack surface and the challenge for IT security teams.
Even though you can defend against an estimated 98% of attacks with relatively basic security hygiene, the sheer volume of remediation work can make it difficult to take a step back and build an effective bigger-picture strategy.
To enhance cyber security, your organisation first needs to understand its existing position and capabilities.
Northdoor offers fixed-price cyber security assessment workshops to help you identify active threats and vulnerabilities, understand their criticality and potential impact, and take best-practice actions to mitigate and resolve them.
If you want to kick-start your response to cyber security threats, or get a second opinion on your readiness to repel attacks, contact Northdoor today to arrange a security assessment workshop. It’s a fast, low-cost way to cut through the complexity and build an effective cyber security strategy.

Northdoor’s fixed-price security assessment workshops combine reviews from expert cyber security consultants with automated technology checks to analyse your existing security posture across six key areas:
We discover and review access, permissions and usage of all applications, wherever they run.
We evaluate data security, including classification and encryption, and review your data protection measures.
User devices constitute an enormous attack surface; we review how they are monitored and secured.
Our zero-trust approach starts from a review of the robustness of your identity and access management
We assess the management and security of your infrastructure, probing for vulnerabilities and anomalies.
We review your existing network security controls and consider how they will change in a zero-trust environment
The onsite workshops are aimed at:
After a pre-engagement call to define the engagement scope, establish your objectives and priorities, identify the appropriate stakeholders, and align expectations, we run a threat check kick-off meeting to set goals and deliverables, define engagement tools, and set up a secure, non-intrusive data-gathering exercise.
This threat-check exercise lasts two weeks, and helps us to uncover threats across the six key areas.
Alongside this automated review, our security experts audit your organisation and existing practices.
We benchmark your existing strategy and controls against industry best-practice models, determine your cyber security maturity, identify areas for improvement, and highlight immediate vulnerabilities that require urgent attention.
Following the threat-check exercise, we run a full-day workshop at a location of your choice to present our findings. During the initial discovery session, we discuss the challenges, opportunities and priorities for your organisation.
We then provide an overview of our capabilities and the options for you to consider. Next, we present and discuss the results of the threat-check exercise. Finally, we provide a joint plan and recommended next steps.
Northdoor’s security assessment workshops are tailormade to address the risks that are most relevant to your organisation.
In addition to highlighting threats that target email, endpoints and identity/access solutions, we can flag risky behaviour and practices around sensitive data, we can help you report on risk and compliance, and we can analyse your security stance across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure.
Our comprehensive approach to cyber security looks at all key elements in your digital estate, helping you to understand the most relevant threats to your organisation.
What’s more, our workshops provide tangible benefits in the form of a detailed report on the most urgent remedial activities.
Each highlighted vulnerability includes a measure of criticality, and an estimate of the time and effort that will be required for remediation.
Northdoor can carry out as little or as much of the remediation work as you require – all the way up to full outsourcing of your cyber security – and our partnerships with the leaders in security technology mean that we can advise on, implement and run the best solutions for your longer-term needs.
These include a smart hybrid vulnerability management platform, with qualified penetration testers to validate every vulnerability and minimise false positives. Our technology uses the open Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) to help you understand the real-world threat from identified vulnerabilities.
