Post-Audit Steps

Completing a penetration test or audit marks the end of the assessment phase, but there are crucial steps to take post-audit to ensure a thorough and secure outcome. Here's a detailed guide on post-audit steps:

1. Artefact Cleanup

After the assessment, it's our penetration testers perform a thorough Artefact Cleanup. This involves removing any artifacts left on systems or networks during the testing process. Cleaning up testing tools, scripts, or any traces of the assessment help maintain a clean and secure environment.

2. Submission of Audit Report

The final step is the Submission of the Audit Report to the client. The report, perpared by our qualified auditors, includes an executive summary, detailed vulnerability assessments, risk prioritization, and actionable recommendations for improving security. We include any necessary actions we took to perform any sort of exploitation, and through the actionable remediation steps included, you can easily path up any critical findings.

3. Debriefing Meeting

A Debriefing Meeting is essential to review the findings with key stakeholders. This session provides an opportunity to discuss identified vulnerabilities, their potential impact, and recommended remediation strategies. Clear communication is key to addressing concerns and ensuring a shared understanding.

4. Follow-up Consultation

Post-audit, CyberSanctus offers a Follow-up Consultation to address any questions or concerns the client may have. This ensures a clear understanding of the findings and recommendations provided in the audit report. Ongoing communication is valuable for long-term security improvements.

By following these post-audit steps, organizations can enhance their cybersecurity posture and proactively address identified vulnerabilities.
