When
was the last time you had independent confirmation that
your IT infrastructure and business information is secure?
Your
organisation is dynamic and will continually update environments,
technologies and personnel. Elefire audits will ensure that
your information systems remain private and secure by seeking
out any security flaws that can be created in the rush to
stay up to date.
An Elefire
security audit will provide you with feedback on the integrity
of your infrastructure, by breaking it down into several
sections and auditing these:
Network Architecture Audits
A review of your network topology and hardware. We check that
all your network diagrams are appropriate and up to date,
minimising risks. We also ensure that your topology does not
have inherent vulnerabilities leading to security issues.
Internetworking Audits
Elefire will assess your connectivity to other networks, including
the Internet. All aspects of security relating to network
routing are covered.
Firewall Audits
Your firewall is your main line of defence against outside
attacks. Elefire will audit the firewall systems in place
and check that it will perform to the high standards required.
Operating System Audits
It is often necessary to maintain a network with more than
one operating system running, for example - Windows NT server,
NT workstations, Windows 9x laptops and Unix firewalls. It
is essential that these operating systems function well together
without creating security holes. Elefire's auditors are experts
in all operating systems and will review their interoperability.

Database Audits
Your company database is often one of your most important
assets, containing wage information, customer details, etc.
It is unthinkable to leave this data open to theft or damage,
so let Elefire make sure it is safe.
Business Application Audits
Many common applications leave your network open to attack.
An effective example is the way the 'love bug' exploited Microsoft
Outlook. An application audit will allow you to secure these
high level programs
Software Audits
Elefire will make sure your software licenses are up to date
and that no one is running unauthorised software on your network,
offering you peace of mind that you will not be at risk from
legal action.
Elefire
Security Auditing Services methodology is based on British
Standards Institution (BS 7799) recommendations, and common
best practice. We interrogate both the organisational measures,
as well as the low-level technical measures required to maintain
the appropriate level of security and the reliability of operations.
Furthermore, legislative responsibilities are also considered
by the Elefire Security Auditing Services team during the
audit and reporting processes.
Upon completion
of an Elefire Security Audit a detailed audit report is submitted,
highlighting all issues identified and the implications for
your organisation. The report also contains practical recommendations
on how your organisation can mitigate risk and offers solution
directives for those vulnerabilities uncovered.
