Save time,, empower your teams and effectively upgrade your processes with access to this practical Security Assessment and Testing Toolkit and guide. Address common challenges with best-practice templates, step-by-step Work Plans and maturity diagnostics for any Security Assessment and Testing related project.

Download the Toolkit and in Three Steps you will be guided from idea to implementation results.

The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Security Assessment and Testing specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...


• The latest quick edition of the Security Assessment and Testing Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.


Organized in a Data Driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 987 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of Process Design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Security Assessment and Testing improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 987 standard requirements:


1. Ids/ips traffic pattern analysis can often detect or block attacks such as a denial-of-service attack or a network scan. However, in some cases this is legitimate traffic (such as using Cloud Infrastructure for Load Testing or security testing). Does the Cloud Provider have a documented exception process for allowing legitimate traffic that the ids/ips flags as an attack pattern?
   
   

2. Have the It Security cost for all investments/projects been integrated in to the overall cost including (certification and accreditation/re-accreditation, System Security plan, Risk Assessment, Privacy Impact assessment, configuration/patch management, Security Control testing and evaluation, and Contingency Planning/testing)?
   
   

3. Penetration tests are sometimes called white hat attacks because in a pen test, the good guys are attempting to break in. What are the different categories of Penetration Testing your organization performs?
   
   

4. If Penetration Testing has been determined to be reasonable and appropriate, has specifically worded, written approval from Senior Management been received for any planned Penetration Testing?
   
   

5. Of the PII incidents reported, how many were reported within the prescribed time frame for their category, according to the time frames established by US-CERT and/or OMB Memorandum(s) (IR-6)?
   
   

6. Are there alarms at the remote components of the SCADA communications system for corresponding things as intrusion, loss of electric power, loss of environmental control, and fuel reserves?
   
   

7. Client data in transit: does the work address issues surrounding the transmission of sensitive client data between targets and penetration testers systems in the course of the engagement?
   
   

8. If there are dedicated multiple independent telephone systems or dedicated switches and cables supporting the SCADA system, is each one individually adequate to support the entire system?
   
   

9. When developing the Security Assessment Report (SAR), what is the procedure or method for documenting findings that were corrected during testing or identified as false positives?
   
   

10. Static analysis is an essential part of Application Security Testing, and what if your team lacks the resources or skills to apply SAST effectively across your full portfolio?
