Advisory & Audit

Turn compliance into a competitive advantage.

Advisory & Audit

Whether you need to meet industry-specific regulations, recognised standards such as PCI DSS, DSPT and SOX, or demonstrate your security credentials during customer due diligence, ANSecurity can help you stay ahead.

Even when you’re not directly regulated, your customers, partners and supply chains may be. Increasingly, organisations need to demonstrate that their IT infrastructure and security controls meet the standards expected by the businesses they work with.

Don’t wait for an audit, tender or customer questionnaire to expose a gap in your security.

Our Advisory & Audit services provide the insight and guidance you need to understand where you are today, identify areas for improvement and build a clear roadmap towards stronger security and compliance.

Because security is a process, not a steady state. Regulations, frameworks, threats and business requirements continually evolve. Regular reviews help ensure your organisation remains aligned with best practice, prepared for changing requirements and ready to demonstrate its security credentials when it matters.

Stay compliant. Reduce risk. Win customer confidence.

Firewall Health Check & Audit

Firewall Health Check & Audit

We recommend a firewall health check/ audit on an infrequent but regular basis. For some clients in highly secure environments this can be as often as every month, however for the majority of enterprises once or twice per year. This is subject to how often the firewall rules change or changes are made within the organisation.

Business drivers include a major change in the business, a merger, publishing new websites or services, new cloud or on-premise business applications or a change of technical administration staff.

Meeting Compliance

Meeting Compliance

Many organisations need to meet requirements set by regulators, auditors or recognised security frameworks. Depending on your industry and customers, this could include standards such as PCI DSS, CIS, FCA, DSPT, CAF and SOX.

Even if your organisation isn’t directly regulated, your customers or partners may be. Demonstrating robust IT infrastructure and security controls can therefore be essential for passing due diligence, winning new business and maintaining customer confidence.

Our experts help you navigate these requirements and translate them into practical, effective security solutions that meet compliance needs while delivering genuine value to your organisation.

Penetration testing

Penetration testing

The best way to understand how your organisation could be targeted is to think like a threat actor.

Penetration testing puts your security to the test using realistic, controlled attack techniques to uncover vulnerabilities, weaknesses and potential routes into your systems before they can be exploited.

Our experienced penetration testing team simulates real-world attacks against your chosen systems, applications or infrastructure, helping you understand where you are vulnerable, what the potential impact could be and how to fix it.

Every engagement is followed by a clear, comprehensive report detailing our findings, risks and practical recommendations — giving your team a prioritised roadmap to strengthen your security.

Find the weaknesses before the attackers do.
