What is a Compromise Assessment?
A compromise assessment involves detecting and analyzing security breaches within an organization's IT infrastructure. It aims to uncover hidden threats that are still active or historical.
You could benefit from a compromise assessment if you’ve suffered a known breach, detected suspicious activity on your network or simply for peace of mind before undertaking significant IT activity.

Compromise Assessment FAQs
A compromise assessment is focused on detecting signs of active or past breaches within an organization. A vulnerability assessment is more concerned with identifying the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in a system before an attack occurs, basing analysis on potential risks rather than evidence of current or past risks.
