Questions about these services
What does an IT security assessment cover?
We review the agreed workplace environment for vulnerabilities, security gaps and compliance readiness. This can cover identity and access, endpoints, collaboration, data controls and cloud security, with priorities for the next steps.
Can AUL work with our existing security tools?
Yes. We assess the platforms already in use and define the configuration, integration or improvements required. The project scope determines which tools, permissions and ongoing support are needed.
