Public Sector Penetration Testing
As a public sector organisation, it is crucial to conduct regular penetration tests to protect the sensitive data you handle and ensure the resilience of your digital infrastructure. These tests help identify vulnerabilities that could be used by threat actors to harvest sensitive data or disrupt operations. By proactively addressing potential vulnerabilities, you can strengthen your defence and safeguard the vital services and information needed by the public.
As an NCSC assured provider, we are able to provide penetration tests for public sector organisations. These include the following:
CHECK Penetration Testing
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) CHECK Scheme is a specific set of standards for the penetration testing of public sector organisations. These standards were created to ensure public bodies receive the highest quality of service and deliverables.
CHECK Penetration testing involves the simulation of known attack techniques to identify any security gaps that exist within the current security architecture, and provide effective mitigation to help reduce the risk of a successful cyber attack.
As an NCSC CHECK approved service provider, SecQuest can provide public sectors with a full detailed overview of the security posture of their organisation.
IT Health Checks
An IT Health Check (ITHC) is essential for organisations connecting to the Public Services Network (PSN). It is an assessment of an organisation’s IT systems that is designed to identify vulnerabilities, ensure compliance with UK government standards, and measure its overall security posture. It covers a wide range of corporate assets, including externally-facing infrastructure, desktops, servers, patching, remote access configurations, wireless systems, and internal security gateways.
Conducted by experienced professionals, this annual requirement ensures public sector IT systems maintain the high standards of security and resilience necessary to protect sensitive public data.
PSN Penetration Testing Services
PSN Penetration Testing services are invaluable when it comes to ensuring that UK PSN connected infrastructures are operating securely. Our expert team conducts tests to ensure systems are compliant with UK government standards by assessing the resilience of network infrastructure, applications, and endpoint devices.
