THREAT-LED SECURITY ASSESSMENT

Understand the threats that matter to your business — and what to change.

You tell us about your business and existing security. We identify the threats relevant to organisations like yours, compare them with your reported measures, and a human analyst reviews the findings. You receive a practical, prioritised report.

WHAT IT IS

A threat-informed review of your reported security

A threat-led security assessment reviews the cyber threats affecting businesses like yours and compares the methods attackers are using with the security measures you report having in place. The output is a short, practical report explaining potential gaps and what to consider changing — reviewed by a human analyst before it reaches you.

You do not need technical knowledge to use it. It is not a penetration test and does not independently verify every reported control.

Who the assessment is for

Businesses without a security team

Organisations where security is handled by the owner, managing director, operations lead, IT lead or an external IT provider.

Leaders who need clarity

People who want to understand which threats are relevant to their business and which improvements to make first — in plain English.

Working alongside an IT provider

Lowside Intelligence complements your existing IT support. We focus on security, not general IT support.

HOW THE ASSESSMENT WORKS

What you provide, what we analyse, what you receive

01

Tell us about your business

You complete a structured questionnaire covering your sector, country, business size, technology and existing security measures.

02

We examine relevant threats

We research the current threats and attack methods affecting comparable organisations, drawing on threat intelligence and the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base.

03

We compare threats with your controls

Your reported security measures are compared with the techniques attackers are using against organisations like yours.

04

We identify potential gaps

The analysis identifies areas where your reported measures may not adequately address relevant attack methods.

05

A human analyst reviews the findings

A human analyst reviews the findings before anything is delivered to you.

06

You receive your report

You receive a practical, prioritised report explaining relevant threats, potential gaps, why each finding matters, recommended improvements and a suggested owner and timescale.

What you'll receive

  • Relevant cyber threats affecting organisations like yours
  • Potential gaps in your existing security measures
  • Which attack methods those gaps relate to
  • Why each finding matters
  • Recommended improvements
  • Suggested priority
  • Suggested owner
  • Suggested timescale
  • Human analyst review

You can use the report yourself or share it with your existing IT provider.

What it does — and does not — assess

What it does

  • Identifies threats and attack methods relevant to businesses like yours.
  • Compares those with the security measures you report.
  • Explains potential gaps and what to consider changing.
  • Reviewed by a human analyst before delivery.

What it does not

  • Automatically verify every security control you report.
  • Actively break into your systems — it is not a penetration test.
  • Technically verify vulnerabilities — findings describe potential gaps inferred from your reported measures.

What happens afterwards

After the assessment you can continue with an optional ongoing service — Watch, Defend or Assure — so we keep monitoring the threats relevant to your organisation as the landscape changes.
