Group-IB Compromise Assessment

There are three main reasons why security breaches go undetected and cyber threats can secretly dwell in your infrastructure for months:

• Threat actors constantly update attack tools and techniques to remain undetected by conventional security mechanisms.
• In insider attacks, adversaries operate cautiously, using legitimate software to remain undetected.
• Attackers may not infiltrate your infrastructure directly but rather through less secure subcontractors, partners, or customers.

A compromise assessment service offers several benefits, including proactive detection of cybersecurity breaches and compromises, enabling rapid threat mitigation even when traditional security measures have been evaded. In addition, compromise assessment helps identify weaknesses in existing security controls and measures to improve overall cybersecurity hygiene. It also improves incident response capabilities based on the assessment findings and recommendations.

The duration of the compromise assessment will vary depending on the scope of the project. However, it is usually between two and six weeks.

Compromise assessment is conducted by dedicated Group-IB experts with extensive experience and international certifications. Our specialists can conduct the assessment either on-site or remotely, depending on the specific case.

The service combines manual and automated methods of compromise detection, including threat hunting exercises, analysis of security alerts and host forensic analysis.

The compromise assessment service is designed to discreetly determine whether an organization has been breached by examining systems, networks, and data for evidence of malicious activity.

Typically, Group-IB experts conducting these assessments use non-invasive tools and methodologies to ensure minimal to no disruption to the organization’s operations. Their goal is to detect and analyze threats without disrupting day-to-day business activities.

Group-IB provides clients with complete data to mitigate the immediate threat and tailor their security strategy. Key deliverables include

• Executive summary – a high-level overview of the compromise assessment findings suitable for non-technical stakeholders.
• Detailed findings – a comprehensive report detailing any potential threats, vulnerabilities, or compromises found during the assessment.
• Tactical remediation steps to mitigate the threats found.
• Strategic recommendations for improving the cyber security posture.
• Final presentation to discuss the findings.

We value your privacy, so all your data is deleted from our system once the compromise assessment report has been accepted.

Depending on the compromise assessment results, customers typically request Incident Response Readiness Assessment services to estimate how prepared they are to withstand a real-world cyberattack or Education and Training services to improve the skill of their IS team.
