The Importance of
Endpoint Security Posture Assessments
Our security consultants perform Endpoint Security Posture Assessments (ESPAs) using industry-standard benchmarks like CIS to help organisations understand and improve the security configuration of their devices (e.g., Windows, macOS), minimizing risk and ensuring compliance.
- Configuration Drift Device settings deviate from secure baselines over time due to updates, user changes, or lack of oversight.
- Benchmark Complexity Implementing and verifying adherence to detailed CIS Benchmarks across diverse devices is challenging.
- Evolving Threats Endpoints remain prime targets; maintaining hardened configurations against new attack vectors is crucial.
- Limited Visibility Difficulty in getting a clear, consistent view of the actual security posture across all managed devices.
- Resource Constraints Security teams often lack the dedicated time or specific expertise for in-depth device configuration audits and remediation planning.
