Cybersecurity Risk Assessment

When your organization stores health or financial information or works with organizations like the Department of Defense (DoD), cybersecurity is of the utmost importance. A strong cybersecurity posture starts with understanding what’s happening inside your network. The CISA Group’s network assessment services help you identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and areas of risk so you can address issues before attackers find them. Whether you’re preparing for compliance, pursuing insurance requirements, or simply improving your security maturity, our cybersecurity risk assessments provide the clarity you need to plan your next steps with confidence.

Internal & External Network Vulnerability Scanning

We perform both internal and external network vulnerability scans to identify weaknesses that could expose your systems or data. These scans evaluate open ports, outdated software, missing patches, configuration issues, and potential entry points across your environment. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of what attackers could discover, along with practical recommendations to address each finding. This process forms the foundation of a comprehensive network assessment.

Comprehensive Network Testing

Our service is designed to identify vulnerabilities, not to exploit them.

Network infrastructure testing evaluates the security of the systems that support and protect your environment. We want to make it clear that we do not utilize penetration tests. We do not attempt to break into your systems, bypass controls, or simulate active attacks. Instead, we focus on comprehensive discovery, visibility, and preparation so your team has all the information needed to implement stronger cybersecurity defenses or pursue future specialized testing.

Our assessment identifies misconfigurations, vulnerable services, and exposed systems that could allow unauthorized access or lateral movement within your network. You receive prioritized findings, clear risk explanations, and practical recommendations to strengthen your network security.

Clear Reporting & Remediation Guidance

After completing your assessment, we deliver a detailed report outlining the identified vulnerabilities, their severity, and their potential impact on your organization. You’ll receive guidance on how to address each network issue, from technical fixes to process improvements. We focus on actionable steps your team can take immediately, with no guesswork or unnecessary complexity. Our reports are written to be understood by both technical staff and leadership.

After identifying vulnerabilities, the CISA Group can also assist with fixing the network’s issues. Our remediation team uses best-in-class tools to patch your network security and stop vulnerabilities before they grow into larger issues.

Advanced Cybersecurity Risk Assessment

A vulnerability scan is only part of the picture. The CISA Group’s cybersecurity risk assessment looks beyond individual findings to evaluate how your systems and processes work together. We assess risk based on likelihood, impact, and the controls you already have in place. This helps you understand your overall exposure, prioritize improvements, and make informed security decisions aligned with your organization’s goals.

Application Security Testing

Application security testing examines web applications and services to identify vulnerabilities that could expose data or allow unauthorized access.

Our testing reviews authentication controls, user permissions, input handling, and application workflows to identify issues such as injection vulnerabilities, insecure file handling, and business-logic weaknesses. Findings include severity-ranked issues and clear remediation guidance to help development teams address risks quickly.

API Security Testing

API security testing focuses on the interfaces that allow systems and applications to exchange data. These endpoints are often overlooked but can expose sensitive information if not properly secured.

Our assessment evaluates authentication controls, input validation, and endpoint exposure across REST, GraphQL, and other API structures. The results include affected endpoints, proof-of-concept findings, and recommendations to strengthen authentication, rate limiting, and data protection.

Mobile Device Security Testing

Mobile device testing evaluates the security of mobile apps and their interaction with backend systems.

Our review looks for risks such as insecure data storage, weak encryption, insecure network communications, and platform-specific misconfigurations. Organizations receive a clear report outlining vulnerabilities along with recommendations to improve secure storage, communication protections, and application hardening.

Certified Capabilities & Current Scope

We provide valuable support as you prepare for compliance-focused audits or cybersecurity insurance requirements. Our team includes experienced cybersecurity professionals who help you understand industry expectations, identify readiness gaps, and develop a roadmap for improvement. We support organizations across healthcare, military/DoD, financial services, and other regulated industries.

Social Engineering Assessments

Social engineering assessments evaluate how well an organization’s people and processes respond to human-targeted attacks.

Simulated phishing or other controlled scenarios help identify awareness gaps and process weaknesses that could expose sensitive information. Organizations receive campaign metrics, user behavior insights, and recommendations for targeted training and policy improvements.

Who We Serve

We provide network assessments and cybersecurity risk evaluations for organizations that:

  • Are subject to regulatory compliance
  • Support DoD contracts or subcontractor work
  • Store or process sensitive or regulated data
  • Handle payment information or financial transactions
  • Provide or host healthcare-related services
