IT security for SMBs

Do you know where the biggest risks in your IT environment are?

HTS Europa assesses your IT infrastructure defensively and transparently – from servers and user accounts to network access, backup and recoverability. You receive clear priorities instead of an unstructured list of technical warnings.

Starting point

Understand first, then act deliberately.

Many small businesses invest in firewalls, backups, cloud services or monitoring before they know where the most important risks actually are. The assessment first establishes a reliable technical baseline.

01 · VISIBILITY

What does the current environment look like?

We collect agreed systems, roles, security-relevant configurations and available evidence in a structured, read-only manner.

03 · ACTION

What should happen first?

You receive prioritized actions and a clear basis for internal implementation or further support by HTS Europa.

Assessment scope

Technical foundations that matter in day-to-day operations.

The exact scope is agreed before work begins. Different modules may be appropriate depending on the environment.

View detailed scope
01

Windows & Linux

System baselines, services, local security settings and relevant operational information.

Core
02

Active Directory & identities

Accounts, administrative roles, selected delegation and trust contexts – depending on the agreed scope.

Optional
03

Network & access

Locally bound services, allowed source networks and evidence of external reachability are kept clearly separate.

Core
04

Backup & recoverability

We look beyond whether a backup exists and consider coverage, recency, monitoring and evidence of recoverability.

Core
05

Server roles

IIS, RDS, SQL Server, Exchange and other roles can be included based on scope.

As needed
Deliverables

A report you can actually work with.

The results are not only for administrators. Management and technical teams receive different perspectives on the same technical evidence.

Process

A clear process without unnecessary effort for you.

The technical process can be complex – working together should not be.

01 · SCOPING

Clarify scope

Systems, goals, responsibilities and boundaries are defined before work starts.

02 · COLLECTION

Collect evidence

Agreed technical evidence is collected defensively and read-only.

03 · ANALYSIS

Assess in context

Findings are reviewed, combined where appropriate and placed into understandable context.

04 · RESULT

Decide

The report, review meeting and prioritized next steps create a clear basis for decisions.
