Our proprietary 4-Pillars methodology is the only comprehensive security assessment that evaluates all critical dimensions of your organization's security posture. Developed over 20+ years and refined through 2,500+ assessments, it identifies vulnerabilities that traditional assessments miss.
Most assessments only examine technical infrastructure, missing 70% of security vulnerabilities that stem from people and processes.
Typical assessments use generic checklists without understanding your unique business context and operational requirements.
Employee vulnerability testing is ignored, despite humans being the primary attack vector in 95% of successful breaches.
Our methodology examines all four critical dimensions of security, providing complete visibility into your organization's true security posture.
Each pillar represents a critical dimension of organizational security that must be evaluated for comprehensive protection
CAVA Employee Vulnerability Assessment
Why People Matter Most: 95% of successful cyber attacks involve human error. Our proprietary CAVA (Computer Aided Vulnerability Assessment) testing identifies specific employee vulnerabilities that hackers exploit.
Healthcare Organization Case Study: Our CAVA testing revealed that 73% of employees in one department were susceptible to a specific type of phishing attack. Traditional assessments missed this because they focused only on technical controls. After targeted training, susceptibility dropped to 8% within 90 days.
Workflow Security Analysis
Why Processes Define Security: Even the best technology fails without proper processes. We analyze your actual workflows, not just written policies, to identify gaps between intended and actual security practices.
Financial Services Case Study: A credit union had excellent written policies but our process analysis revealed employees were bypassing security procedures due to system complexity. We identified 12 specific workflow improvements that increased security compliance from 34% to 91% while reducing processing time by 40%.
Complete 7-Layer Network Evaluation
Beyond Basic Tech Assessment: While other firms check for common vulnerabilities, we conduct a comprehensive 7-layer network analysis that examines your entire technology stack from physical to application layers.
Manufacturing Company Case Study: Our 7-layer analysis discovered that while the company had excellent perimeter security, internal network segmentation was virtually non-existent. A single compromised IoT device could access the entire production network. We designed a segmentation strategy that improved security by 400% while maintaining operational efficiency.
Team Security Culture Assessment
The Missing Dimension: Security is a team sport, but most assessments ignore how teams actually collaborate and share information. We evaluate the collaborative aspects that can either strengthen or weaken your security posture.
Law Firm Case Study: Despite having strong individual security practices, the firm's collaboration assessment revealed that attorneys were inadvertently sharing sensitive client information through unsecured channels. We identified 8 collaboration vulnerabilities and implemented secure alternatives that maintained productivity while ensuring client confidentiality and attorney-client privilege.
