BUSINESS IT SERVICES
Understand where your business is exposed
A network security assessment examines the configuration and activity of your systems to identify weaknesses and areas for improvement. Our service covers vulnerability assessments, network security reviews and follow-up assessments.
OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH COASTAL CYBER
Cyber governance health checks
Prodigy has partnered with Coastal Cyber to provide independent cyber governance health checks. Understand how your business manages cyber risk across its leadership, policies, people and technology, with a clear view of current strengths and areas for improvement.
The health check looks beyond day-to-day IT operations to review areas such as governance and accountability, incident response, supplier risk and AI governance. Plain-English findings and prioritised recommendations help your leadership team plan practical next steps.
VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT
Vulnerability scanning with Intruder
Intruder provides vulnerability scanning and attack surface monitoring to help identify weaknesses across business systems and internet-facing services. Regular scanning helps bring emerging issues and changes in exposure into view, so your team can focus on the risks that need attention.
Prodigy can help scope the systems to assess, review findings and prioritise practical remediation. We work with you to connect the results with your wider IT environment and plan agreed improvements. Scanning scope, licensing and ongoing support are discussed around your requirements.
Review configuration and access
Depending on the agreed scope, a review can examine system definitions, protocols, password rules and firewall settings. Understanding these controls provides a starting point for addressing avoidable exposure.
Turn findings into priorities
Prodigy describes a security assessment report covering the review scope, identified vulnerabilities and recommendations, supported by a prioritised action plan. This gives business decision-makers a clearer basis for planning corrective work.
Follow through on improvements
An assessment is most useful when the findings lead to action. Discuss implementation support and a follow-up review to check agreed changes. Any compliance-specific audit or assurance requirements must be scoped separately.
Start with the systems your business depends on
A useful security discussion begins with context. Identify the applications, devices and information that matter most to your operations, who uses them and where access is needed. A small team with one office may have different priorities from a business with several locations and external collaborators.
This context helps define a review that produces relevant findings. Instead of collecting an unfiltered list of technical issues, the aim is to understand which weaknesses need attention first and what action is practical for your environment.
Consider access throughout the employee lifecycle
Access requirements change when people join, move between roles or leave. Reviewing how those changes are authorised and carried out can reveal accounts that need attention or responsibilities that are unclear. Discuss administrative access separately from everyday user access so the review reflects the different levels of responsibility.
The assessment scope can also consider remote access, shared resources and the way devices connect to your network. Recommendations need to account for how people actually work, rather than relying on a configuration that looks tidy on paper but is difficult to maintain.
Create a workable improvement sequence
Not every finding needs to become an immediate project. Some changes can be handled through configuration, while others require replacement equipment, application changes or a planned interruption. Prodigy can help you understand the recommendations and discuss an implementation sequence with clear ownership.
Keep a record of agreed actions, outstanding decisions and the changes that have been completed. Where a follow-up assessment is included, use it to review the agreed work and identify questions that remain. Security is an ongoing responsibility, so review timing should reflect changes in the environment.
Connect security with support and recovery
Security reviews, support documentation and backup planning address different parts of the same business environment. Looking at them together helps reveal dependencies, such as who can restore a critical system or how a configuration change affects remote access. Specialist compliance or assurance work needs its own agreed scope.
Common questions
What will the assessment cover?
The scope should be agreed for your environment. Our service includes network security and vulnerability reviews, reporting and improvement recommendations.
Does an assessment certify compliance?
Any compliance audit, certification or assurance deliverable must be separately confirmed and explicitly included in the agreed scope.
Will every recommendation require new equipment?
The response depends on the finding. Some improvements involve settings or processes; others require a planned change or investment.
How often should we review our environment?
Consider changes to users, systems, locations and business requirements. Agree a review approach appropriate to your environment.
