Understanding Your Actual Security Posture

Most enterprises believe their security posture is stronger than it actually is. The gap between perceived and actual security is where breaches occur. A cybersecurity posture assessment provides an objective, evidence-based evaluation of your organisation's defences — not what your security policy says, but what your systems, configurations, and processes actually deliver.

A comprehensive assessment covers multiple layers: external attack surface (internet-facing assets, DNS, SSL configuration), network security (segmentation, firewall rules, intrusion detection), application security (OWASP vulnerabilities, authentication weaknesses, API exposure), identity and access management (privilege escalation paths, dormant accounts, MFA coverage), and human factors (phishing susceptibility, security awareness). Each finding is scored for severity and exploitability, producing a prioritised remediation roadmap.

For Malta enterprises operating under MFSA, MGA, or public sector governance frameworks, a cybersecurity posture assessment is not a one-time exercise. Regulators increasingly expect periodic assessment and demonstrable improvement. redskios conducts assessments that produce actionable, prioritised findings rather than generic reports, and we can implement the remediation measures needed to close identified gaps.
