01 / The Philosophy

The "White Box" Advantage

In a Security Audit, we don't guess—we know. By analyzing your full configuration, source code, and architecture diagrams ("White Box"), we identify latent risks that black-box attackers might miss but could exploit later.

This is the domain of Prevention. We enforce the Principle of Least Privilege, reduce attack surface, and ensure that when an attack does happen, its blast radius is contained.

The Audit Lifecycle

DX
01

Scoping & Gap Analysis

We define the boundary (People, Process, Tech) and map your current state against the required standard (e.g., ISO 27001).

TC
02

Technical Control Audit

Deep-dive verification of firewall rules, encryption standards, access controls, and code security.

GRC
03

Process & Policy Review

Auditing non-technical controls: HR vetting, Vendor risk assessments, and Incident Response plans.

OK
04

Final Certification

Issuance of the Audit Report and Attestation Letter, ready for external auditors or client due diligence.

03 / Deep Dives

Systemic Verification

01. Secure Code Review

We analyze your codebase to find vulnerabilities at the source. Using SAST (Static Application Security Testing) tools and manual expert review, we identify unwashed inputs, insecure crypto implementations, and hardcoded secrets.

Focus Areas:

  • Input Validation
  • Auth Logic Flaws
  • Cryptographic Failures
  • Dependency Vulnerabilities

}
]

02. Cloud Configuration

Misconfigured cloud buckets (S3, Blobs) are the #1 cause of data leaks. We audit your AWS/Azure/GCP environment against CIS Benchmarks to ensure IAM roles, Security Groups, and Encryption policies are watertight.

Benchmarks:

  • Identity & Access Mgmt (IAM)
  • Storage Encryption (At Rest/Transit)
  • Logging & Monitoring (CloudTrail)
  • VPC Network Segmentation

03. Vendor Risk Management

Your security is only as strong as your weakest vendor. We assess the security posture of your third-party suppliers, SaaS providers, and detailed supply chain to prevent "Island Hopping" attacks.

Assessment Scope:

  • Vendor Security Questionnaires
  • SLA & Contract Review
  • Data Processing Agreements
  • Supply Chain Attack Simulation

06 / Questions & Answers

Audit Briefing

Why do we need an Audit if we already do VAPT?

VAPT verifies if you *can* be hacked right now. Audits verify if you *will* be hacked in the future. VAPT misses misconfigurations that aren't currently exploitable but violate security principles.

How long does a typical compliance audit take?

A technical gap analysis takes 2-3 weeks. Full compliance (e.g., ISO 27001 implementation) can take 3-6 months. We accelerate this with automated scanning tools.

We use AWS/Azure. Doesn't Amazon secure it?

No. Under the 'Shared Responsibility Model', AWS secures the cloud *hardware*, but YOU are responsible for securing the data, access, and configuration *in* the cloud.

What happens if we fail the audit?

You don't 'fail' our audit. We provide a Remediation Roadmap using a RAG (Red-Amber-Green) status. We work with your engineering team to fix the 'Red' items until you pass.

Do you review Source Code?

Yes. We perform Secure Code Reviews (SCR) using both automated SAST tools and manual inspection to find logic bombs and hardcoded credentials.

Is this report valid for regulatory auditors?

Yes. Our reports map every finding to specific controls in ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS, serving as valid evidence for external auditors.
Strategic Overwatch

An Audit is a Snapshot.
Security is a Process.

Compliance isn't just about passing the audit once—it's about staying secure every day after. A vCISO ensures you maintain the standard.
