Cloud Infrastructure Security Assessment [CIST] Solutions

Testing is critical for proactively identifying issues before they can be exploited and ensuring compliance with Regulations. It also provides ongoing assurance that defences remain effective as the cloud environment changes.

Regular testing is recommended. We recommend CIST Scans at least once every six (6) months and no more than one (1) year between consecutive Scans. 

Testing should also occur after major environment changes, new deployments or cloud configuration updates.

The duration of each CIST Project depends on the size and complexity of the infrastructure environment but it typically takes anywhere from fifteen (15) to thirty (30) days for Discovery Scan Report to be delivered from the time the Project begins. Some Projects may take lesser or more time depending on the specifics. 

The estimation of the actual duration can be communicated after the walkthrough of the architecture and infrastructure is provided to Neumetric's TechSec Team.

Key benefits include finding vulnerabilities before attackers can leverage them, prioritising remediation efforts, achieving compliance, assuring security controls are working properly & proactively improving defences over time.
