Security Assessment

Structured evaluation of your security posture — vulnerabilities identified, risks quantified, remediation prioritized.

Know Where You Stand

A security assessment gives you an accurate picture of where your environment is exposed and how those exposures translate to business risk. Jacobian conducts assessments that combine automated vulnerability scanning with manual analysis — covering network architecture, access controls, patch posture, and configuration baselines against CIS Benchmarks or your applicable compliance framework.

The output is a prioritized finding set with remediation guidance mapped to your operational constraints. Unlike a penetration test, which simulates an attacker, an assessment establishes the full risk landscape and feeds directly into a remediation roadmap or compliance program.

Why Choose Our Security Assessment

Engineering rigor, audit-ready process, and operational depth across cloud, SaaS, and software delivery

Prioritized Risk Visibility

Findings are ranked by exploitability and business impact, not just CVSS score, so your team works on what matters first.

Prioritized Risk Visibility

Framework Alignment

Assessment criteria map to SOC 2, HITRUST, and ISO 27001 compliance framework controls; findings also satisfy the technical safeguard requirements of HIPAA, producing output that supports both framework audit readiness and regulatory compliance.

Framework Alignment

Actionable Remediation Guidance

Each finding includes specific remediation steps, not just a description of the vulnerability.

Our Assessment Process

From scoping to remediation guidance.

1

Scope and Discovery

Define assessment boundaries, asset inventory, and applicable frameworks; gather architecture documentation and access credentials for authenticated scanning.

2

Analysis and Validation

Run automated scans, validate findings manually to eliminate false positives, and evaluate architecture and configuration against framework baselines.

3

Report and Debrief

Deliver a prioritized findings report with remediation guidance; walk through results with technical and leadership stakeholders.
