Security Assessments

Comprehensive vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify weaknesses before attackers do.

Security Assessments.

You cannot protect what you do not understand. A security assessment gives you a clear, honest picture of your current cyber security posture - identifying vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers. Coffee Cup Solutions delivers comprehensive security assessments that go beyond automated scanning to provide actionable, prioritised recommendations.

Our assessments cover your entire IT estate including networks, servers, endpoints, cloud services, email security, and user practices. We combine automated vulnerability scanning with manual testing and expert analysis to identify risks that automated tools alone would miss. Every finding is rated by severity and accompanied by clear remediation guidance.

Whether you need a one-off assessment to understand your risk profile, regular quarterly assessments to maintain your security posture, or a pre-certification assessment ahead of Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001, we deliver thorough, professional results that give you confidence in your defences.

FAQs: Security Assessments

A vulnerability assessment identifies and catalogues known vulnerabilities across your systems using automated tools and manual review. A penetration test goes further by actively attempting to exploit vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world risk. We often recommend combining both for a comprehensive view of your security posture.

We recommend a comprehensive assessment at least annually, with quarterly vulnerability scans in between. Additional assessments are advisable after significant infrastructure changes such as cloud migrations, office moves, or new system deployments.

Vulnerability scanning and most penetration testing activities are designed to be non-disruptive. We schedule any potentially impactful tests outside business hours and agree all activities in advance. We always maintain rollback capability and have your systems safety as our top priority.

Yes. We do not just identify problems - we help you fix them. Our team can implement remediation measures, verify fixes, and re-test to confirm vulnerabilities have been successfully addressed.
