Security assessments with

vulnerability testing at its core

by an experienced security

specialist




can mean the difference

between a profitable,

productive year and

a whole lot of chaos




Here are some key benefits

your LA CPA firm would get

by hiring a professional to do

a thorough, yet appropriately

scoped, security assessment




1. Protect Your Reputation




A Certified Information Security

Services Provider (CISSP) can

evaluate and find any security

gaps in your network




and then provide guidance as

to how to remediate desktops,

laptops, tablets, and servers or

any other points on the network




And should you require

firewall tuning, intrusion

detection/prevention system

upgrades, or other remediation

services,




you can implement changes

with no loss of productivity or

system outages




2. Demonstrate Your Diligence




When you have your

vulnerability scans done and

have fixed any exposures,




make sure to get written proof

documenting that you’ve gone

to the effort of ensuring your

network can be trusted




Being declared secure by a

security scanning provider is

comparable to having the

Good Housekeeping Seal of

Approval on your network




3. Build Lucrative Relationships




You can provide

presentations to local

Chamber of Commerce

groups, help your clients

to remediate their networks,




and become a thought leader

in areas such as Payment Card

Industry (PCI) compliance




Collaborating on IT security

policy preparation is another

way you can leverage a

relationship with a CISSP expert




Vulnerability testing by a

knowledgeable, certified

professional might seem like a

costly, or unnecessary expense

when your business seems to

be running with no hiccups




The trust you maintain among

your clients, the health and

stability of your network,

and the expansion of your

own knowledge of IT security




is well worth the investment

of having these services

performed




What have your experiences

been with vulnerability testing

and vulnerability scanning

services?
