The objective of a BOUNDARY SECURITY ASSESSMENT is to check the ability of the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure to resist compromise from unauthorized external sources. This is not intended to be a stealth vulnerability assessment and the relevant Network and Security documentation is provided by the Network administrator. The information and the various security access controls are analyzed, and recommendations for improvement are made based upon best practices. The assessment is done in line with the International Security Standard ISO 27000.

Methodologies
GALIX follows two proprietary methodologies to determine and address customers’ security requirements.
The QuickStart Methodology is designed to get a customer’s Information Security technological defenses up and running in the shortest possible time. It is ideal for organizations where a security policy already exists and an investment has already been made in security technology, but the systems are not optimally deployed and managed. It is also suitable for organizations with less complex networks and security requirements.
The OPSA Methodology is a more comprehensive approach for organizations with complex networks and
advanced security requirements. It includes a thorough process of assessment, planning and design, testing
and training. This methodology is designed to meet the requirements of heavy-weight corporates.
