Decision Consultants' Security Assessment Packages for Enterprise Networks

Decision Consultants offers three levels of set-price security assessment packages designed to provide larger enterprises an objective and thorough evaluation of their network security vulnerability. The assessments are performed by Decision Consultants’ world-class team of certified security engineers using test procedures ranging from relatively friendly to aggressive. All three levels of security assessment include automated scans of services and ports from outside and inside your network firewall, manual analysis of web applications, manual checking of network configurations by a Cisco-certified CCIE engineer, interpretation of scan results by seasoned network security consultants, creation of a concise high-level summary and presentation of an interactive briefing for your executives, plus a comprehensive technical report and extensive live briefingfor your IT staff. Decision Consultants' security engineers are available to help your IT staff with remediation support, and these services, if requested, are billed at Decision Consultants' standard consulting rates.

For Decision Consultants' standard security assessment packages, Decision Consultants' security engineers collect all information about your environment remotely and require temporary access to a computer inside your firewall for hosting a virtual machine from which to conduct internal testing. Decision Consultants also presents live, interactive briefings online rather than in person. Decision Consultants has found that by performing security assessments remotely rather than on site, the client saves money, experiences less disruption, gets faster results, and still receives a comprehensive and actionable security vulnerability evaluation. In situation that require onsite support, Decision Consultants can for an added fee provide a team of security engineers to perform testing and briefings at your location anywhere in the United States.
