• Validate the Scope: Confirm and validate the scope of the assessment, including the systems and devices to be reviewed, the types of configuration settings to be assessed, and any specific security policies and standards that apply.
• Prepare the Assessment Criteria or checklist: Develop assessment criteria and checklist based on vendor best practices, industry standards and applicable client policies and procedures. The standards can include frameworks such as CIS Controls or NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
• Conduct the Assessment: Conduct the assessment, reviewing the configurations of systems and devices against the assessment criteria. This can be done using automated tools, manual review, or a combination of both.
• Identify Findings: Identify any findings or deviations from the assessment criteria. This can include misconfigurations, missing patches, or insecure settings.
• Analyze Findings: Analyze the findings to determine their impact on the security posture of the organization. Prioritize the findings based on the risk they pose to the organization.
• Develop Recommendations: Develop recommendations for remediation of the findings, including specific actions to be taken and timelines for completion.
