9 December 2024

As cyber security threats in the UK evolve in sophistication and prevalence, cyber security risk has become a growing concern for many organisations. 

At Redpalm, we recognise the importance of cyber security and the need for proactive measures to protect your business from these ever-evolving threats. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we’ve partnered with Hexiosec to provide you with a comprehensive cyber risk report for your business. 

Redpalm’s cyber risk report allows you to monitor your assets for vulnerabilities, identify risks as they appear, and address them before they evolve into more serious issues. 

Our comprehensive cyber risk report provides businesses with the insights they require to effectively manage and mitigate all types of cyber risks. This proactive approach allows you to always stay one step ahead of potential threats. 

In this article, we’ll introduce Hexiosec, explore what cyber risk reports are, how they work, and highlight the key reasons why every organisation can benefit from one. By joining forces with Hexiosec, we hope to empower businesses of all sizes to effectively navigate the cyber threat landscape with confidence. 

Who Are Hexiosec? 

Started and run by engineers from the UK Intelligence and Defence communities, Hexiosec is a cyber security company that specialises in providing custom cyber security solutions. Having worked with various industries, they ensure that organisations meet regulatory requirements while improving their security posture. 

Hexiosec’s mission is to empower businesses to operate securely in our increasingly digital world. By combining advanced technological tools with expert insights, they provide reliable security solutions to combat cyber attacks.  

What is a Cyber Risk Report? 

A cyber risk report is a comprehensive assessment that helps identify vulnerabilities within an organisation’s digital infrastructure or network. These reports help businesses prioritise and address security gaps to protect their systems. 

By partnering with Hexiosec, Redpalm aims to provide you with an in-depth cyber security assessment that will help you secure your digital infrastructure. Our free cyber risk report allows you to leverage government-grade asset discovery and protection to understand the vulnerabilities that are putting your business at risk. 

By evaluating key factors, such as outdated software, misconfigured services, domain security, and certificate compliance, it highlights potential risks that may lead to cyber attacks.  

How Does It Work?

The process to obtain your cyber risk report is very straightforward. All we need is your website’s domain name and a company email to send the cyber risk report to. This process is entirely non-invasive and doesn’t require any network access or involvement on your end. 

Once we have your domain name, we scan your online connected assets to create a comprehensive picture of the external cyber vulnerabilities your business faces. As part of this process, we assess more than 250 cyber risk factors across email security, domain registration, and service, categorising them as either red, amber, or green. For every threat identified, we will provide you with an action plan to address it.

Lastly, we’ll run your domain through our cyber risk checker and email you the final report. It’s that simple! Our cyber risk report helps you get a better understanding of your organisation’s vulnerabilities and stay one step ahead of any potential cyber-attacks. 

Reasons Why You Need a Cyber Risk Report

Cybersecurity is a concerning issue that affects businesses across the globe. That’s what makes cyber risk assessments and reports more important than ever before. 

Let’s take a look at some of the reasons your business needs a cyber risk report:

1) Identify Vulnerabilities in Outdated Software

Older software typically has well-known or highly visible vulnerabilities that can be easily exploited by hackers to gain access to your network and systems. A cyber risk report will highlight any outdated software with known security flaws so that you can address vulnerabilities before they’re exploited. 

2) Strengthens Domain Security

If someone gains unauthorised access to your domain, it may pose a significant risk to your business. Cyber risk reports help ensure that your domains are always protected, reducing the risk of unauthorised access, and protecting your business’ reputation. 

3) Ensures Security Certificate Compliance

Having security certificates on your website is an effective way to assure users that their data is safe and that they’re connected to the correct website. With a cyber risk report, you can quickly identify any issues with your certificates and reassure customers of the legitimacy of your website and the security of their data. 

4) Helps Optimise Access Controls 

Typically, key areas within your organisation, such as databases, administer control panels, and developer access, need to be restricted so only authorised individuals can access them. A cyber risk report uncovers misconfigured services so that you can restrict access and protect your systems from external threats.
