Do you really know where your IT is vulnerable?
Find vulnerabilities before attackers do
Comprehensive analysis of your IT infrastructure for security gaps — from network to applications to endpoints. With a detailed action plan.
Anonymized Reference CaseTax Advisory Firm · Europe, 28 employees+
Initial Situation
Client data on outdated servers, no active security monitoring, NIS2 obligations unclear.
Solution & Result
Full IT security audit: network, endpoints, applications, and social engineering test.
19 critical vulnerabilities found and remediated, NIS2 readiness established, cyber insurance obtained.
Unknown vulnerabilities are the greatest security risk
- Most attacks exploit known, unpatched vulnerabilities — most businesses do not know they are affected
- NIS2 and ISO 27001 require regular security audits — without evidence, fines of up to $10M are at risk
- Cyber insurers are increasingly requiring audit evidence — without it there is no insurance coverage
Systematic audit — find, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities
- Complete analysis of all systems: network, endpoints, cloud, applications, and human factors
- CVSS-based risk assessment: you know exactly which gaps are critical and what can wait
- Detailed action plan with responsibilities and timeline — no open ends

Our Approach
How we work
Scope Definition
Joint definition of the audit scope, objectives, and legal authorizations.
Technical Analysis
Execution of automated scans and manual security reviews of all agreed systems.
Report & Assessment
Creation of the audit report with risk assessment and concrete recommendations.
Follow-Up
Verification of implemented measures and optional re-test for confirmation.
The audit found 19 critical gaps we were unaware of. Three of them would have given attackers full access to our client data. That was a wake-up call.
Typical Findings
What we find in every second audit
These vulnerabilities appear regularly — even at companies with active IT departments. Most have existed undetected for years.
Open admin ports on the internet
Network
Unpatched operating systems
Endpoints
Default passwords on devices
Passwords
Missing SPF/DKIM/DMARC records
Public storage buckets
Cloud
Outdated web applications
Application
Our Methodology
Systematic. Complete. Documented.
Our audit process follows OWASP, NIST and ISO 27001 — with proven effectiveness.
Reconnaissance
OSINT analysis, footprinting of all external systems, DNS enumeration, Shodan check — just like an attacker would proceed.
Vulnerability Scanning
Automated scans with Nessus, OpenVAS and proprietary tools. OWASP Top 10 for web applications. CVE database matching.
Manual Analysis
Experienced security experts manually review what scanners miss: logic errors, misconfigured permissions, business logic flaws.
Report & Handover
CVSS-rated report: management summary + technical detail section. Closing meeting with prioritized action plan.
Your Result
Two reports — for two audiences
Management and the IT team have different needs. You get both: clear risk assessment for management and technical details for your IT team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about IT Security Audit at a glance.
01What does an IT security audit cost?+
An audit for SMEs with 10–50 employees starts at $3,500 fixed price. For larger infrastructures (50–200 employees) we estimate $8,000–$20,000. After a free initial consultation you receive a binding quote.
02How long does an IT security audit take?+
The active review phase takes 3–10 days depending on scope. From kickoff to final report, plan for 4 weeks. Operations continue normally during the audit — no downtime.
03What exactly is audited?+
Standard scope: all network components, firewalls, servers, endpoints, cloud services, and web applications. On request we add social engineering tests (simulated phishing) and physical security reviews.
04Does the audit satisfy NIS2 and ISO 27001 requirements?+
Yes. Our audit process is fully ISO 27001-compliant. The final report is accepted as NIS2 evidence and for cyber insurers. You receive a signed audit protocol.
05What happens after the audit?+
You receive a prioritized action plan. We optionally support remediation of all vulnerabilities and perform a free re-test after 60–90 days to verify implementation.
06Do the tests disrupt ongoing operations?+
No. Automated scans run outside production hours. All tests are configured so that no service goes down. We have never caused a business disruption in any audit.
