Cybersecurity Services

Our engineers can start providing cybersecurity consulting services after we clarify everything we need to know about your project to ensure that we use the proper tools and technologies for your product or business. We will sign an NDA, contract with the detailed work scope, and we’re good to start with development.

Relevant specializes in various technologies and solutions, and we have software engineers experienced in different disciplines. Alongside security consulting, we do web development, backend, frontend, digital design, QA, AI/ML integration, outsourcing services, and more.

We use Jira management platform so every stakeholder can track project progress and developers' tasks. It allows us to monitor the scope of work done, track current and upcoming budget spending, manage and prioritize assignments and stick to the plan.

Our offices are based in Poland and Ukraine, though our team is located across the globe. We hire the best specialists in different countries for remote work, and currently, we have over 150 employees. During the past 8 years, we have provided our services to more than 200 companies.

We use email, encrypted messengers, and secure communication management platforms to communicate with our clients regarding our project. Our developers are ready to use your preferred communication channel if it provides the required level of data safety.

Every business should guarantee the security of its services to every client — and we’re ready to make it happen. We work with any company that’s willing to adopt effective security solutions and safeguard its data, reputation, and clients. Among our clients, you can see companies from the heavily-regulated industries, such as fintech and healthcare, so we’re aware of the safety requirements and guidelines for the products targeted for those markets.

The full code authority goes to the company or any other legal entity that ordered the cybersecurity services from us. We waive any rights associated with the code, which will be mentioned in our contract.

Data is valuable in the IT world, particularly the one associated with safety processes and solutions. As an IT security services provider, we’re obliged to keep our client’s data and activities safe from unauthorized use. That's why we sign an NDA and use encrypted tools for internal communication.

We use the same pricing model for every service we offer at Relevant. It depends of two factors: time and resources. We charge hourly and send you invoices that include a detailed scope of work done every two weeks.

It’s best to choose a cybersecurity consulting service provider that focuses on the big picture. More than just providing security solutions, they should help you comply with GDPR, FISMA, and HIPAA regulations.

Your security service provider should be able to layer tools that fill actual gaps. They should also know the balance between protection and cost-efficiency. Finally, take a good look at their case studies and customer reviews. You may want to speak directly with their existing and former clients as well.

Yes, we perform tests during the initial stage of providing cybersecurity consulting services to identify vulnerabilities and possible breaches in your systems and applications.

We carry out static analysis that examines software components without running the application. An automatic scan checks the code against standard practices, while a manual code analysis identifies vulnerabilities in business logic, common standards violations, and design flaws.

We also conduct dynamic analysis, which aims to spot vulnerabilities while the application is running. The goal is to find errors in authorization and authentication, server configuration, data leaks in transit, and more.

To review an open-source code automatically, we rely on SCA tools from Sonatype, Veracode, or OWASP. During the acceptance stage, we deploy targeted dynamic testing (DAST) or OWASP ZAP tools.

We also count on Amazon GuardDuty to protect AWS accounts, data, and workload by continuously watching out for unauthorized behavior and malicious activity. The CloudCheckr CMx platform provides visibility across public clouds and ensures the infrastructure is safe and compliant with regulations. CloudMapper allows us to visualize our AWS assets better and understand the network environments.

Splunk Enterprise Security serves as the nerve center of the security ecosystem, allowing teams to quickly detect and respond to attacks. DataDog equips the DevOps team with a monitoring platform, helping them resolve performance issues and prevent downtime. We carefully review code modifications using Gerrit or Github and detect vulnerabilities with the help of Burp Suite and NPM Audit.

Hacking results in reputational damage that can ruin any company. Cybercriminals may also attack your website or application to steal your client’s information or hold your business hostage. In other cases, they may use your app to go after another entity you do business with.

We work with companies of all sizes. Whether you are a small start-up or an established enterprise, we can help you with your cybersecurity needs.

Virtual CISO services are provided by a managed security service provider. Replicating the functions of a Chief Information Security Officer, the service provider creates and manages cybersecurity policies for an organization.

While an in-house CISO is a highly-ranked executive, the VCISO services are delivered by a team of cybersecurity experts who draw on an arsenal of tools and a pool of knowledge.

First, your organization must have a data governance policy that clearly defines who controls data assets. You must also routinely double-check cloud security configurations. Make sure you have tools to prevent data loss incidents and that you have data backup solutions in place.

Multi-factor authentication and anti-phishing measures are vital for cloud security. An exhaustive cloud security audit is also necessary to get a realistic picture of your company’s security capabilities.

Outsourcing your cloud security is another good idea if you find a trustworthy vendor. This way, a team of security specialists can provide comprehensive cloud cybersecurity assessment services, devise a security strategy, mitigate risks, and set up protection for your database.

Penetration test costs vary based on the complexity and size of the website or application that needs to be tested. It also depends on factors like the objective of your site, scope of the pen test, methodology or types of tools used, level of expertise of the cybersecurity professionals, whether the test is done onsite or offsite, and whether retests and remediation services will be provided or not. Feel free to contact us at Relevant to get a quote.

Penetration testing, aka ethical hacking, is done by simulating internal and external attacks to determine security weaknesses in applications and their components. This allows developers to pinpoint vulnerabilities and create strategies to mitigate them.

Pentesting focuses on more than just the app itself, taking a closer look at the environment and the setup process. It gathers information about the web app, maps out the network hosting it, and discovers possible areas of attacks or injection.

The types of application security features include logging, encryption, authentication, authorization, and application security testing. Application security may also be embedded into the code during development.

The best way to prevent security breaches is to test your applications throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC):

1. Development
   Write secure code and run dynamic, static, and penetration testing to check for vulnerabilities and confirm that your defense is working.
2. Quality assurance
   Test the applications and confirm the absence of known security vulnerabilities before production.
3. Production
   Schedule regular vulnerability scanning to protect against new threats.

The OWASP Top 10 outlines the ten most critical risks or security concerns for web applications. The regularly-updated report is prepared by security experts from all over the world. It provides an industry-standard that companies must incorporate into their processes to mitigate security risks.

As listed in the OWASP Top 10, the common application threats are injection flaws, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure, missing function level access control, security misconfiguration, cross-site scripting XSS, insecure direct object references, cross-site request forgery, using components with known vulnerabilities, and unvalidated redirects and forwards.

We will recommend a security strategy and a roadmap. The chronological roadmap will give you a clear picture of the projects and priorities. You will also receive high-level cost estimates and documentation that discusses the projects and explains why they are important.

We will work on a project plan and ensure its execution, identifying the necessary third-party support and requirements for successful completion. We will test the policies and procedures by practicing them within the organization. On top of that, we will develop metrics that will allow you to continuously evaluate the security progress.

Plus, we will conduct security awareness testing and training programs as well as continuous assessments to identify the weakest links within your organization.

To ensure a successful knowledge transfer, we will be answering all your questions and make sure you’re well informed of the business risks, threat scenarios, and the potential impact of critical security events.

We built a FinTech SaaS platform for FirstHomeCoach, a UK-based company. Created to help buyers purchase real estate, the app processes financial data. To ensure its protection, we integrated cybersecurity into every phase of the project’s life cycle.

We assigned a project manager and two security officers to take the lead. The team started by defining the project’s scope and boundaries through an in-depth IT security audit. We accelerated the process by dividing it into four sprints.

During the first sprint, our experts interviewed the client, defined hypotheses, and outlined the project’s scope. The second sprint had our engineers conducting penetration testing and analyzing results to determine the Security Target State. The third sprint involved security verification and risk assessment.

By the end of the fourth and final sprint, we were able to provide our client with a full security audit report and an ISMS policy. Thanks to these documents, we were able to build a compliant and secure fintech platform.
