Third Party Application Review / Tool Assessment
Through a comprehensive examination of third-party applications, organizations gain the insights needed to make well-informed decisions regarding their adoption, integration, and utilization. This process not only minimizes potential security risks but also safeguards assets and data. We can also leverage tool assessments in case your organization is looking to replace a tool for something that fits your needs as you grow.
-
Examination of Configuration Settings: Ensures that the application's security features are correctly configured and unnecessary risks are addressed.
-
Evaluation of Data Protection and Privacy Compliance: Ensures compliance with pertinent data protection regulations and privacy standards, assessing how the application manages sensitive data.
-
Assessment of Authentication and Access Control: Determines the effectiveness of authentication mechanisms and access control policies in preventing unauthorized access to the application and its resources.
-
Analysis of Secure Development Practices: Reviews the third-party vendor's development processes and practices to identify any security gaps in the software development lifecycle.
-
Vendor Risk Management: Evaluates the overall risk posed by the third-party vendor, including their security posture, incident response capabilities, and adherence to security best practices.
Cloud Security Posture Review
Focusing primarily in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), a cloud security posture review involves evaluation of an organization’s cloud environment to ensure security best practices. This review aims to identify potential misconfigurations within the cloud infrastructure.
Endpoint Detection Monitoring
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a cybersecurity solution designed to protect a business's devices from cyber threats. It combines advanced monitoring, threat detection, and automated response capabilities to ensure a business’s critical systems and data are secure.
Blue Team Tom Consulting can assist with your EDR needs by providing the following benefits:
​
-
Real-Time Threat Detection: EDR continuously monitors endpoints for unusual activity, detecting threats like ransomware, phishing attempts, and unauthorized access.
-
Automated Response: When a threat is detected, EDR tools can automatically isolate compromised devices, stop malicious processes, and mitigate risks without requiring immediate human intervention.
-
Centralized Management: EDR solutions provide a dashboard that simplifies oversight for business owners or IT staff, even if they lack extensive cybersecurity expertise.
-
Cost-Effective Protection: EDR solutions scale to the size of a small business, offering enterprise-level security at an affordable price.
-
Compliance Support: EDR helps small businesses meet regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) by ensuring data protection and providing forensic insights after incidents.
-
Incident Investigation and Forensics: EDR retains detailed logs and activity data to help analyze the root cause of incidents, enabling businesses to improve their defenses.
By implementing EDR, businesses can reduce their exposure to cyber risks, protect sensitive data, and maintain customer trust, all while focusing on their core operations.

Process Documentation
Every organization relies on processes. Thoroughly documented processes facilitate employee training, ensure consistent and precise task execution, and promote efficient business operations. At Blue Team Tom Consulting, we conduct interviews with your team to meticulously capture and document existing processes. We then collaborate with your team to refine and optimize these processes, ensuring alignment with relevant frameworks and maximizing the efficiency of your organization's tools and infrastructure.

Vulnerability Management
Vulnerability Management is the process of identifying, evaluating, treating, and reporting on security vulnerabilities in systems and the software that runs on them. Our expert team helps organizations identify, assess, and remediate security weaknesses before they can be exploited. We provide tailored solutions that fit your unique environment.
Security Policy Documentation
Security Policies are living documents that provide rules and guidelines on acceptable practices for an organization. These can establish guidelines regarding the handling of sensitive data, how access is granted and implemented to make sure there is protection from unauthorized access. Without formal policies, security becomes inconsistent, reactive and dependent on individuals rather than the organization as a whole.
