In-Depth Security Audits

Understanding the full scope of your organisation’s security is crucial. Our in-depth Google Workspace security audits examine over 150 security controls, providing a thorough risk assessment that identifies vulnerabilities and prevents potential data breaches. This comprehensive report is designed for business owners, IT managers, and outsourced IT companies like MSPs.

One significant challenge we address is the lack of visibility into company-wide applications and browser extensions. On average, IT teams are aware of less than 10% of the apps and extensions used within their organisation, leaving the remaining 90% as potential security risks. We offer full visibility into all your SaaS apps and extensions connected to your Google Workspace accounts, providing a risk rating score to help you understand and mitigate these risks effectively.

Our cybersecurity risk management assessments are aligned with industry-standard GRC frameworks such as ISO 27001, Essential Eight, and SMB1001, ensuring effective GRC risk management for your organisation. Your organisation meets compliance requirements while strengthening its security posture.

Google Workspace Posture Management

Google Workspace is one of your critical SaaS applications that requires ongoing monitoring. We specialise in Google Workspace posture management to help you maintain a robust security stance. Significant areas we monitor include:

  • Suspicious Login Requests: Detect and alert on unusual login activities that may indicate unauthorised access attempts.
  • Compromised Device Events: Monitor devices connected to your network for signs of compromise.
  • High-Risk Apps or Extensions Installed: Identify and manage risky third-party applications and extensions.
  • Unusual Activity in Google Drive: Track large amounts of files deleted or copied, which could signify malicious activity.
  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Monitor for actions that could lead to data breaches.
  • Sensitive Data Sharing: Alert when Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or Payment Card Industry (PCI) data is shared externally.
  • Admin User Privileges Enabled: Keep track of changes in administrative privileges to prevent unauthorised access.
  • Ransomware Indicators: Detect signs that Google Drive files are being encrypted by ransomware.
  • Inactive Users: Flag inactive accounts for review to remove access for former employees.

Asset Risk Management

Beyond Google Workspace, it’s vital to set up monitoring for your other important digital assets. Similar to Google Workspace alerts, these should apply to all your SaaS applications, especially concerning user logins, admin privileges, and data access and sharing externally.

Computers and Endpoints:

  • Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): We deploy EDR software to continuously monitor endpoints for evidence of threats and perform automatic actions to mitigate them.
  • Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM): Our RMM solutions manage the security stack of your devices, including operating system and application patching, often used by IT teams or Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

Network and Infrastructure:

We monitor all your network hardware, including:

  • Wireless Networks and SD-WAN
  • Firewalls and Web Application Firewalls (WAF)
  • Gateways (Proxy, IDS/IPS, Analytics)
  • Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Logging
  • Vulnerability Management
  • Identity and Access Management (IDAM), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and Privileged Access Management (PAM)
  • Cloud Security Solutions: We secure public, private, hybrid, and community cloud environments, as well as virtualization security.
  • Unified Communications and Remote Access: Monitoring solutions for your communication tools and remote access systems.

Our comprehensive asset risk management ensures that all aspects of your IT environment are secured and monitored effectively, adhering to compliance standards like ISO27001 and SMB1001, which is key to effective GRC risk management.

Dark Web Monitoring

Protecting your organisation’s data extends beyond your immediate network. Sentry Cyber’s Dark Web Monitoring service offers an additional layer of security by keeping an eye on hidden online spaces where compromised data is often traded.

What is Dark Web Monitoring?

The dark web is a part of the internet that isn’t indexed by standard search engines and requires specific software to access. It is often used for illicit activities, including the buying and selling of stolen data such as login credentials, personal information, and financial details.

Our dark web monitoring service involves scanning these hidden networks to detect if your organisation’s data has been compromised or is being circulated. We use specialised tools and techniques to search for mentions of your company, employee information, and other sensitive data.

How It Benefits Your Organization

  • Early Threat Detection: By identifying compromised data promptly, you can take immediate action to mitigate risks.
  • Cyber Security Breach Response Enhancement: Early awareness allows your incident response team to react swiftly, reducing potential damage.
  • Compliance Maintenance: Helps in adhering to regulations that require proactive monitoring of data breaches, such as ISO27001 and SMB1001.
  • Reputation Management: Prevents reputational damage by addressing breaches before they become public knowledge.
  • Comprehensive Security Posture: Complements your existing security measures, providing a holistic approach to cybersecurity.

Our dark web monitoring is an integral part of our security monitoring services, helping you stay one step ahead of cyber threats.
