How to Assess Your Exposure

Start with these questions:

When was your last penetration test?: If it was more than 12 months ago, your results are stale. The attack surface changes faster than annual testing can track.
Did it cover Security Vulnerabilities specifically?: Generic vulnerability scans check for known CVEs. They do not test for the underlying weakness (CWE-74) in your custom code and configurations.
Are your detection tools tuned for this?: Run a controlled test. If your SOC does not alert on a Security Vulnerabilities attempt, your monitoring has a gap.

When to Call a Professional

If you answered "I do not know" to any of those questions, a professional assessment gives you the answer. Sherlock Forensics specializes in Enterprise security testing with 20 years of experience. Quick audits from $1,500 CAD.
