Security Assessment and Audit

altMData Solutions Security Vulnerability Assessment does a thorough examination of your networks to determine the adequacy of existing security measures and to identify security deficiencies.
Traditional vulnerability assessments are a snapshot of the organization's network; however, the MData Solutions Security Vulnerability Assessment program includes use on-demand scanning, real-time vulnerability notification, compliance and regulation information security review; and, a policy tracker for policies, memos and other electronic information.

We take a dynamic and multi-phased approach to web application security.
The first phase of our testing includes navigating the application to become familiar with the business model and the general operation of the application.  During this process we document the different functions within the site and identify possible areas of weakness.

Some key points regarding our methodology include:
Automated testing by leading commercial tools for well-known vulnerabilities, this methodology follows closely with industry best practices, such as OWASP Testing, and includes phases that cover all items identified in the OWASP Web Application Penetration Checklist.

Other key points outside of the testing methodology documented above include kick off meetings, status meetings and closing meetings with project team members.

These meetings are vital to team success when working with development teams to set expectations you must keep project teams abreast of findings and effectively communicate results.
