Compromise Assessment

Home / Compromise Assessment

Uncovering compromises for proactive security improvement.

Compromise Assessments are critical for organizations seeking to understand if their systems have been breached or are currently under threat. Hax Security’s Compromise Assessment service provides a thorough evaluation of your environment, scanning for indicators of compromise (IoCs) and analyzing suspicious activity. Our team helps you identify existing or past intrusions, pinpoint vulnerabilities, and implement improvements to prevent future incidents. With a focus on rapid detection and response, our assessment provides peace of mind and actionable insights to strengthen your security.

Our Compromise Assessment Approach

Our penetration testing follows recognized industry standards, such as **OWASP Top 10** and **SANS CWE**, ensuring comprehensive security coverage. Our approach includes:

01

Initial Scoping and Planning
We start by defining the scope of your environment and identifying high-risk assets, ensuring our assessment focuses on your most critical areas.

02

Comprehensive Threat Hunt
Our team conducts a proactive threat hunt across endpoints, network traffic, cloud assets, and applications to identify suspicious patterns and anomalies.

03

Indicator of Compromise (IoC) Detection
Using advanced tools, we scan for known IoCs associated with malware, unauthorized access, and data exfiltration, targeting signs of compromise.

04

Root Cause and Impact Analysis
For any signs of compromise, we investigate the root cause, assess the impact, and provide detailed findings to guide remediation.

04

Reporting and Recommendations
We deliver a detailed report outlining any identified compromises, vulnerabilities, and clear recommendations to bolster your defenses.

What We Cover in a Compromise Assessment

Endpoint Analysis
Scan workstations, servers, and other endpoints for malware, unauthorized access, and suspicious activities that may indicate compromise.
Persistence Mechanisms Check
Search for persistence mechanisms left by attackers, such as backdoors or scheduled tasks, which could allow re-entry into your system.
Application and Database Integrity
Assess applications and databases for indicators of tampering, injection attacks, or unauthorized modifications.
Cloud Environment Assessment
Analyze cloud assets (AWS, Azure, GCP) for misconfigurations, unauthorized access, and unusual activities across your cloud resources.
Active Threat Detection
Deploy real-time monitoring tools and manual checks to detect any ongoing threats that may still be active in your environment.
Network Traffic Monitoring
Examine network traffic to identify anomalies, lateral movement, and potential data exfiltration that
could signify a breach.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a Compromise Assessment?

    A Compromise Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your systems to determine if they have been breached, either currently or in the past.

  • When should I consider a Compromise Assessment?

    It’s recommended after suspicious activity is detected, following a third-party incident, or as a proactive measure to check for hidden threats.

  • How does this differ from a vulnerability assessment?

    Unlike a vulnerability assessment, which identifies potential weaknesses, a compromise assessment specifically seeks evidence of active or past intrusions.

  • What indicators of compromise do you look for?

    We search for malware signatures, unauthorized access attempts, data exfiltration indicators, unusual network traffic, and persistence mechanisms.

  • Can this assessment detect ongoing attacks?

    Yes, we deploy real-time monitoring and manual analysis to detect any ongoing threats that may still be active in your environment.

  • What if we find evidence of a compromise?

    We’ll provide a detailed report, root cause analysis, and immediate remediation steps to contain and eliminate any identified threats.

  • How long does a typical Compromise Assessment take?

    Most assessments take 1-2 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the environment.

  • Do you provide support for remediation?

    Yes, we offer guidance and support to implement remediation measures and can assist with post-assessment security enhancements.
