The Importance of Cybersecurity Assessments for Cloud-Hosted Services
In the face of the ever-changing digital domain, cybersecurity assessments are paramount for organizations leveraging cloud-hosted services. These evaluations are not just a shield against potential security threats but also a testament to an organization’s commitment to regulatory compliance. Regular and systematic assessments are crucial, as they provide documented evidence of compliance with industry standards and legal requirements. This ongoing process of verification ensures that security practices are up-to-date and effective, instilling confidence among stakeholders and customers alike. By integrating these assessments into their security protocols, organizations can demonstrate due diligence, maintain a robust defense against cyber threats, and uphold the integrity of their cloud-based operations.
Xencia’s Cybersecurity Assessment Tool for Azure and M365
How secure is your IT infrastructure? Especially now that many organizations have been affected by ransomware, DDoS attacks and phishing mails, it’s more important than ever that you check how effective your cyber security is. Ideally, you should do this on a regular basis because cyberattack techniques and malware develop continually. Also, one wrong mouse click can have huge consequences, without you even being aware of it. A regular assessment using the Cyber Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) from QS solutions quickly provides you with an insight into potential cyber risks and helps you to decide how and where to improve your security measures.
The Cybersecurity assessment scans your entire company infrastructure including Microsoft 365 and Azure for potential vulnerabilities. We scan, amongst other things, your patch management for devices and whether Windows has been configured correctly. We also check administrative privileges and external users in Microsoft 365, Teams and SharePoint. This is how the assessment accurately identifies the vulnerabilities in your security.
The Cyber Security Assessment Tool comes complete with a clear Plan to improve the cyber security in your organization, exactly where it’s needed. It includes clear-cut technical and organizational measures so that you can get straight to work and use your limited resources effectively.

Security Visibility Across Your Attack Surface. Uncover Hidden Risks.
In order to secure your organization against the latest cyber threats, it’s imperative to have a clear and up-to-date view of the internal and external assets you need to protect.
Attack Surface Validation (ASV) provides a way to shift from asset inventory to risk-based visualization and prioritization of assets and vulnerabilities for effective threat exposure management across environments.

Uncover security and policy gaps

Prioritize vulnerabilities

Accelerate security alert analysis

Automate asset discovery
Integrations for Complete Visibility Across Your Attack Surface
To provide the broad and deep visibility you need to manage and protect your assets, Attack Surface Validation feature integrates with a wide range of data sources, including:
- Microsoft Active Directory
- Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP)
- Vulnerability Management Solutions
- Endpoint & Config Management Systems
- External Attack Surface Management Tools
Attack Path Validation
Stop attackers in their tracks by eliminating routes to critical users and assets.
Visualize and Remediate High-risk Attack Paths
With cyber security breaches now an operational reality, it’s essential to plan for the worst. Key to an assumed breach mindset is understanding how sophisticated adversaries could accomplish their objectives by exploiting vulnerabilities and misconfigurations inside your network.
Security Control Validation
Automatically and continuously validate the effectiveness of your prevention and detection controls.
Your organization’s security controls are fundamental to your defense against cyber threats. But in a rapidly evolving landscape, are you sure that they are providing the level of protection you need to safeguard your most critical assets? To minimize the risk of serious breaches and demonstrate assurance, testing the performance of your controls on a regular basis is now considered vital.
