Gap & Best Practices Analysis

As information infrastructure and security become greater concerns, organizations are finding it increasingly challenging to navigate through myriad requirements, standards, best-practices and compliances that impact them. Many organizations are rightly concerned about investing in the wrong areas or in the wrong technologies.

Bat Blue offers Gap Analysis / Best Practice assessments based on criteria most impactful to the client organization. Bat Blue leverages its experience to ask relevant and meaningful questions, shedding light on organizational approaches, designs, polices and technologies. As a result both areas requiring bolstering as well as areas that do not require additional investments are identified.

The final report will clearly outline the client requirements, areas analyzed, and detail components that don't meet client requirements. Bat Blue will support any follow-up questions with regard to the Gap Analysis / Best Practice assessment and provide supplemental information and documentation as necessary.

Architecture & Design

Security is no longer considered a bolt-on component only to be added towards the end of a project. Incorporating security design is now considered an elemental aspect of any new application or infrastructure roll-out. When considering an application roll-out or technology refresh, the effectiveness of the design is as critical as the capabilities of the technologies utilized.

Bat Blue's Architects are experts and have industry experience in working with any size organization. Our Architects have a robust understanding of the most capable emerging technologies and the latest industry approaches as well as being current with daily threats.

Bat Blue's Architects focus on meeting all of your objectives including availability, functionality, performance, security and financial requirements.

This experience translates into designs that are tried-and-true, comprehensive, and on-target.

Risk Assessment

Vulnerability Scanning
If your concerns are systems integrity, availability or compliance, ongoing risk assessments are crucial. Security is always evolving. New vulnerabilities emerge daily for old and new applications alike. The most common approach to understand the risk impacts of change on technology is via Vulnerability Scanning.

Most organizations today have aspects of their systems such as e-mail, web, and VPNs exposed to public networks. Furthermore, many also have critical internal systems exposed to partner networks. These exposure points are considered an organization's attack surface.

Bat Blue will footprint or identify the organization's attack surface, identify the associated applications, and determine if any known vulnerabilities exist. A comprehensive, accurate and validated report will be presented by an expert Bat Blue consultant. The report will highlight the aspects of the organization's systems vulnerable to attack, along with the severity and potential impact. Bat Blue will be there to support supplemental questions and to provide additional information and documentation as required.


Policy and Configuration Review
A security tool is often at its most effective stance when initially implemented. Over time, temporary and expired policies and configurations aggregate to increase an organization's exposure and risk.

Moreover, lax and non-standard policies further impact an organization with an unnecessarily large exposure or attack surface. This leads to increased risk of compromise, infection and denial-of-service affecting system availability and data integrity.

Bat Blue can, in a consultative manner, understand your applications and user requirements, review your policies and make policy recommendations. Beyond recommendations, Bat Blue can work with your team to develop processes that can more proactively assist in minimizing future exposure.

The Bat Blue Security Operations team can also support your on-demand policy development to ensure that the security policies implemented offer maximum functionality and minimal risk.
