Introduction to Email Security Audit
What is an Email Security Audit?
Email security refers to the actions we take to protect email messages and the data they contain against unauthorized access and damage. It entails maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of email messages, as well as protecting against phishing attacks, spam, viruses, and other forms of malware. It can be accomplished by combining technical and non-technical measures.
Importance and benefits of Email Security Audit Services
Security Issues
Email is a popular target for thieves. Malware, phishing attempts, and other risks frequently arrive over email. In fact, 94% of malware is distributed over email channels. Organizations can protect themselves from these dangers by putting in place strong email security measures.
Reducing Risk
Cybersecurity disasters can have severe effects, including financial losses, operational disruptions, and reputational damage. Effective email security protects your brand, reputation, and bottom line.
Compliance
Email security assures adherence to data protection requirements such as GDPR and HIPAA. By protecting sensitive information, businesses can avoid legal penalties and other intangible expenses connected with cyberattacks.
Productivity Enhancement
With email security in place, disruptions from risks such as phishing emails are reduced. This enables firms to focus on business growth rather than security concerns.

Our Approach
Planning and Discovery
Information Gathering
Vulnerability Assessment
Penetration Testing
Reporting & Remediation
Planning and Discovery
We collaborate with you to understand your business objectives, security posture, and regulatory requirements. This phase also involves system discovery and scoping to determine the applications and infrastructure to be assessed.This information then forms the foundation for developing a tailored assessment plan that meets your specific needs.
Information Gathering
We employ various techniques to map your attack surface, including OSINT and secure interviews, to identify potential vulnerabilities beyond those revealed by automated scans. Additionally, we leverage vulnerability scanners designed for specific technologies and conduct penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks.
Vulnerability Assessment
Automated vulnerability scanning tools and manual techniques are employed to identify potential weaknesses within your systems. These vulnerabilities are then prioritized based on their severity and potential impact, allowing security teams to focus on the most critical issues first. Following remediation efforts, a retest is typically conducted to verify that the vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed.
Penetration Testing
Our ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks to exploit vulnerabilities and evaluate your defenses. Through penetration testing, we identify these weaknesses before malicious actors can, allowing us to patch them and significantly improve your overall cybersecurity posture
Reporting & Remediation
We deliver a comprehensive report outlining vulnerabilities, severity levels, and a prioritized remediation plan. Our team offers guidance to help you patch vulnerabilities and enhance your security posture. We go beyond reporting – our experts will work alongside you to implement the remediation plan, ensuring efficient patching and minimizing disruption to your operations.
