Engagement Scoping & Asset Intelligence
Every assessment begins with a structured discovery phase. We identify your critical assets across infrastructure, applications, cloud environments, and data flows, then map trust boundaries and privilege hierarchies to understand what actually matters most to your business.
Architecture & Control Review
We perform a deep evaluation of your security architecture and defensive controls, covering identity and access management, privilege escalation paths, network segmentation, firewall policies, and cloud security posture across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments.
Configuration & Hardening Validation
We assess your systems against hardened baselines and security best practices, identifying server and endpoint hardening gaps, patch management weaknesses, exposed unnecessary services, and insecure default configurations that create exploitable openings.
Risk & Gap Analysis
We translate technical weaknesses into real-world attack opportunities. This includes misconfigurations that enable lateral movement, weak authentication and privilege abuse risks, and gaps in logging, monitoring, and detection that leave threats undetected.
Compliance & Governance Alignment
We map every finding to the compliance frameworks that matter to your business, including ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS, and GDPR. You get a clear picture of audit-critical deficiencies and governance gaps, not just a list of technical issues.
Reporting, Roadmap & Advisory
Our reporting bridges technical depth with executive clarity. Risk-prioritized findings come with business impact context, tactical remediation steps, and a long-term security roadmap. We stay available as an advisory partner as you work through improvements.
What Makes Us Different From Others
- Real Attack Path Focus We don't just list vulnerabilities. We show you how an attacker would chain them together to cause real damage.
- Framework-Native Methodology Our assessments are built around NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CIS Benchmarks, so findings map directly to what your auditors and leadership care about.
- Cloud and On-Premise Coverage We assess hybrid and multi-cloud environments with the same depth as traditional infrastructure, including AWS, Azure, and GCP misconfigurations.
- No Cookie-Cutter Reports Every assessment is scoped to your actual environment and risk profile. You won't receive a generic template with your company name swapped in.
- Executive and Technical Clarity We write reports that your CISO, IT team, and board can all read and act on without needing a translator.
- Advisory Beyond the Report Our engagement doesn't end when we hand over the findings. We work alongside your team to prioritize, fix, and verify improvements.
garrisonOne ran a full security assessment before our ISO 27001 audit. They found gaps our internal reviews had been missing for two years, gave us a prioritized remediation roadmap, and supported us through our certification cycle. We passed our certification audit on the first attempt.

Frequently asked questions
What is a security assessment and what does it cover?
A security assessment is a structured review of your organization's security controls, configurations, and architecture. It identifies weaknesses across your people, processes, and technology before an attacker can exploit them. Our assessments cover network infrastructure, cloud environments, identity systems, endpoint configurations, and compliance alignment.
How is a security assessment different from a penetration test?
A security assessment evaluates whether controls exist and are configured correctly. A penetration test actively attempts to exploit weaknesses to demonstrate real impact. Both serve different purposes, and many organizations use an assessment to establish a baseline and a penetration test to validate how far an attacker could actually get.
Which compliance frameworks do your assessments cover?
Our assessments align with NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, PCI-DSS, and GDPR. If your industry has a specific framework requirement, we can map our methodology to cover it. The goal is to give you findings that are directly useful for your compliance and audit obligations.
How long does a security assessment take?
It depends on the scope and size of your environment. A focused assessment of a single system or application can take a few days. A comprehensive assessment covering infrastructure, cloud, and identity systems for a mid-size organization typically takes two to four weeks from scoping through final reporting.
Will the assessment disrupt our normal operations?
No. Our assessments are designed to be non-intrusive. We work with your team to schedule any technically intensive activities during low-impact windows, and all work is coordinated with your IT and security teams in advance.
What do we receive at the end of the engagement?
You receive a detailed report with risk-prioritized findings, business impact context for each issue, specific remediation steps, and a security roadmap. We also provide an executive summary for leadership and a technical breakdown for your IT and security teams.
Do you help us fix the issues found, or just report them?
Both. We provide clear remediation guidance with every finding, and our team is available to support your team through the fix process. For organizations that want hands-on remediation support or ongoing advisory, we can scope that as part of the engagement.
How often should we conduct a security assessment?
At minimum, once per year. We also recommend assessments after major infrastructure changes, cloud migrations, acquisitions, or significant growth in your technology footprint. Your threat landscape changes over time, and your security review cadence should keep pace with it.
