Risk and Gap Assessment

AHEAD gap assessments help you understand where your security posture stands today and create a roadmap to where you want to be. Assessments can be performed monthly or as required.
Quickly remediate gaps in vulnerability or compliance by identifying the top tactics, techniques, and procedures that must be strengthened.
Through recurring vulnerability scans and monthly strategic meetings, AHEAD can develop cybersecurity strategies for your whole organization or a specific domain, aligning to specific security frameworks based on your industry.

Penetration Testing

AHEAD red teams simulate real-world, repeatable exploits and attack chains to assess your vulnerabilities.
Your adversary’s playbook is our playbook. Employ us for covert or overt operations to assess your defenders utilizing multiple attack methods, from social engineering to system exploitation.
After the pen test, receive detailed reporting and a strategic roadmap for improvement backed by our technical findings.

Governance and Compliance

No matter your industry, our experts have deep knowledge of both recognized security frameworks like CISA and NIST, as well as regulatory standards such as HIPAA, PCI, ISO2700x, and more.
AHEAD assesses your current compliance gaps to help close them. We also help you apply rigorous automation to your security architectures to ensure compliance and third-party risk management without additional headaches for your staff.
