How Cloud Gateway were able to fully understand their security posture and identify potential vulnerabilities with an IT Health Check
Cloud Gateway
Case Study
The Requirement
Cloud Gateway needed to ensure that their flagship service was secure from any security threats. They required an IT Health Check to evaluate their security posture and understand their potential vulnerabilities. The implementation of both internal and external testing was necessary to identify potential threats to the network and the business. They sought a long-term partnership with a security service partner to assess, evaluate and support the strengthening of their security posture now and into the future.
“We chose DigitalXRAID for their reputation of being skilled with penetration testing and providing advice. This was our flagship product that carries sensitive data for public sector organisations and we needed someone that we felt that could help us secure this environment, point us in the right direction with any remediation activities, and DigitalXRAID delivered in a clear comprehensive manner. So much so, we engaged DigitalXRAID to help us with various other areas of our cyber posture and accreditations.”
Neil Briscoe, Cloud Gateway
Background
Cloud Gateway provides a hybrid cloud connectivity platform which securely and rapidly connects multiple cloud service providers, the PSN, the HSCN, and the internet. It allows organisations to harness the power and flexibility of hybrid cloud but with greater control, pace and visibility. Cloud Gateway secures internet and network traffic. By centralising connectivity, organisations have a single, timely and accurate source of truth with all data logged and available.
Solution
DigitalXRAID completed a full scope of work aligning to the requirements of Cloud Gateway and ensuring that Cloud Gateway were aware of exactly what testing will occur and what to expect in terms of next steps. During the ITHC DigitalXRAID & Cloud Gateway were in constant communication and were kept up to date of what was happening. The reporting provided by DigitalXRAID outlined exactly what gaps there were in both the network & the systems and provided all the information required to remediate any issues.
What is an IT Health Check?
An IT Health Check (ITHC) is an essential compliance requirement for any organisation working within the public services sector. Without it, your business will be unable to access the Public Services Network (PSN) – the government’s own high-performance network.
An IT Health Check gives you assurance that your organisation’s external systems have been fully checked for any unauthorised changes or access and that there is no possibility of unauthorised entry into the system. It will also offer reassurance that there are no weaknesses on the network’s infrastructure or on any individual systems which could allow any internal device to unintentionally or intentionally have an impact on any of the other devices’ security.
Protect Your Business & Your Reputation.
With a continued focus on security, you can rest assured that breaches and exploits won't be holding you back.
