Windows Security Assessment (WSA)
Specialist services to protect your business
Windows Security Assessment (WSA)
The service offered by ISGroup aims to discover any vulnerabilities present in the systems and then assess their severity with targeted attacks on the specific vulnerabilities highlighted in the previous phase.
This service will give the company the opportunity to review its security and configure the system to be secure in case of an attack. Once the system flaws are discovered, vulnerabilities can be eliminated on a priority basis.
The team's experience in the field allows for an effective and in-depth evaluation of a Windows system, reaching the most complex aspects related to architecture security.
The Windows Security Assessment service is specifically designed for the security of your operating system during its use in every phase and operation.
The Windows Security Assessments by ISGroup are provided by technicians who have served as Application Security Specialists.
Description
A secure operating system architecture and infrastructure are essential for the protection of the system itself and the related data within it.
The Windows security assessment service will allow you to precisely discover the security status of your systems and be aware of the actions to be taken to secure your infrastructure. Security must be implemented at the dawn of the operating system and, as the system evolves, periodically rechecked to avoid significant damage.
The effectiveness is also economic since integrating security late is time-consuming and costly.
Each member of our team has extensive experience in both software engineering and Windows security, and it is precisely thanks to this broad knowledge that we conduct a quality and above all effective security assessment.

Frequently asked questions about
Windows Security Assessment (WSA)
What is a Windows Security Assessment?
A Windows Security Assessment evaluates the security of Windows systems by looking for vulnerabilities, exposure and indicators relevant to system integrity.
Which checks does a Windows Security Assessment include?

Does the Windows Security Assessment include hardening guidance?
The Windows Security Assessment provides recommendations for changes that strengthen resistance to attacks and reduce risks.
What is the difference between a Windows Security Assessment and a Vulnerability Assessment?
The Windows Security Assessment focuses on Windows systems: it identifies vulnerabilities and exposure, assesses their severity with targeted attacks, and reviews security settings. A Vulnerability Assessment identifies and assesses vulnerabilities across a broader scope.
What determines the cost of a Windows Security Assessment?
Cost depends on the number and complexity of Windows systems, the depth of the checks, and the access required. Work includes reviewing security settings and produces a report with results and hardening recommendations.
