Audit and Assessment
Information is one of your organization's most important assets. A strong information security posture helps your organization reduce levels of strategic and tactical risk, gain competitive advantage, protect its reputation and improve the bottom line.

The ever-growing complexity of enterprise IT environments continues to push the limits of internal security teams. Satisfying the requirements of your organization's objectives as well as various stakeholders such as the payment card industry and international, state, and federal regulators to deploy and support new IT assets is challenging enough without having to manage an evolving set of security weaknesses within those systems.

igxglobal's Threat Mitigation Division can help you achieve compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO, PCI-DSS, PA-DSS, HIPAA, SOX404, state and federal laws), understand your current information security posture, and discover and remediate potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

Our Audit and Assessment services, combined with our technical vulnerability testing, provides you with a complete picture of your current information security posture, practical recommendations to mitigate identified issues, avoid possible penalties and fees associated with regulatory non-compliance and bolster your organization's efficiency and effectiveness.
