Compromise Assessment

Recognising hacker attacks at an early stage

Detect and contain attacks with compromise assessments

If attackers gain unauthorised access to a company's IT infrastructure, they have usually not yet reached their goal. They are more interested in gaining access to the most sensitive data or compromising other systems and user accounts. The longer their activities remain undetected, the greater the ultimate damage.

With the help of a compromise assessment, you can uncover traces of hacker attacks and compromised IT systems at an early stage, initiate appropriate countermeasures promptly and thus put an end to any ongoing attacks. By efficiently closing identified security gaps, you also prevent them from being exploited again in the future.

Legal certainty
A DSMS supports GDPR-compliant implementation and reduces the risk of fines and liability.
Transparency & control
Clear processes and structures provide an overview of all data protection-relevant processes in the company.
Risk minimisation
Data protection risks are identified at an early stage and systematically reduced.
Trust & image enhancement
A functioning DSMS strengthens the trust of customers, partners and supervisory authorities.

What is a Compromise Assessment

A compromise assessment is one way of recognising compromised IT systems. For this purpose, scanners are used that search for so-called Indicators of Compromise (IoCs). These are traces left behind by attackers and their tools, even if they appear to have deleted them.

To detect IoCs, we use an extensive set of YARA and SIGMA rules. The scanners analyse your systems using digital forensic methods and deliver the results in the form of events. These are then grouped into cases, classified and evaluated by our experienced experts. You then receive an assessment of each alarm and the resulting recommendation for action.
