IT Risk Assessment & Security Audit Services
Strong cybersecurity requires more than tools—it requires regular evaluation. At WestNet Consulting Services, our IT Risk Assessments and Security Audits help organizations ensure their technologies, policies, and controls align with industry standards, regulatory requirements, and business goals.
Our audits identify weaknesses in infrastructure, configurations, and policies while also highlighting opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs. By proactively uncovering risks, we help businesses prevent incidents, maintain compliance, and build stronger resilience against evolving cyber threats.
​
​Areas of Expertise
Network Audits
We conduct detailed reviews of network infrastructure, identifying weaknesses in design, access controls, and monitoring processes to ensure your environment is secure and efficient.
Cloud Infrastructure Audits
Our experts evaluate your cloud environment to validate configurations, assess security controls, and confirm that workloads are aligned with compliance and best practices.
Penetration Testing
We simulate real-world attacks through internal and external penetration tests to uncover vulnerabilities and demonstrate the potential impact of a successful attack. Unlike automated scans, our process blends tools with expert-driven analysis for actionable results.
Vulnerability Scanning
Our internal and external vulnerability scans identify unpatched systems and known risks across devices and applications. Regular scanning, especially after system changes, reduces the likelihood of exploitation and supports PCI DSS compliance.
Physical Network Audits
Some threats can only be uncovered by physical inspection. We conduct on-site reviews to detect unauthorized hardware, validate installations, and ensure proper safeguards are in place.
Policy & Governance Audits
Our reviews extend beyond technology to include IT security policies and procedures. We help organizations align governance, documentation, and practices with compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOX.
