Security Controls Review | The Missing Link

Resolve issues and mitigate the ongoing risk of compromise or breach

We provide a personalised series of recommendations to resolve your security issues and keep your IT environment free from potential breaches

If you’re interested in improving your cyber security but unsure where to start, our security controls review is a great option. The threat landscape of cyber security is ever-evolving. Therefore it is vital to continually assess and improve your security controls to ensure your critical data and information is safe.

The first step in our security controls review involves assessing the existing infrastructure and policies of your business. This allows our team to overview your current security posture and understand what your business needs. Using The Missing Link’s Security Controls Review, we will then create a report that scores your existing security controls' maturity level.

Once we’ve identified any shortcomings, we’ll provide a personalised series of recommendations to resolve issues and mitigate the ongoing risk of a compromise or breach. These solutions will allow you to improve your security posture in a flexible and tailored way for your business only.

At The Missing Link, we also understand that threats are constantly changing and evolving, which is why our security controls review process is ongoing. We work with vendors such as Microsoft, Sophos, Fortigate and Rapid7, with whom we have trusted partnerships.

Perfect Partner Experience

At Student Edge, we help millions of students in Australia and around the world to learn, earn and save. It’s a massive organisation, and we handle huge volumes of personal data. We worked with The Missing Link to undertake a comprehensive security control review to ensure our security levels align with industry standards. From day one, I’ve been impressed by their ability to communicate technical concepts, their flexible approach, and the level of detail they provide. We could clearly see that security was an area in which they excelled. They have been a great organisation to work with and their people are professional yet good fun, and most importantly, they get the job done. Our partnership gives us peace of mind and with a clear list of prioritised items, we exactly know the way forward.

Praga Siva | Head of Engineering, Student Edge

Our first engagement with The Missing Link was for a full security review and penetration test throughout our entire environment. We used The Missing Link to identify what our risks and exposures were and what we needed to do to resolve those. The Missing Link came onsite to undertake that work. They were very consultative, dependable and accurate and they presented a roadmap for us going forward.

Following the acquisition of our business, The Missing Link undertook a thorough Security Controls Review to assess our security posture. Their approach was holistic and covered off every aspect of our business. They identified several opportunities for improvement and provided a thorough, clear report that enabled our team to meet industry standards and regulations while also aligning with our parent and sister company from a security standpoint.

I highly appreciate their in-depth industry knowledge, their strategic views on security infrastructure, and their advice on the pros and cons of procurement - with them on board, there’s no need for me to develop my own supplier relationships. In the process, The Missing Link has become a long-term security partner and IT advisor for our business. The team is genuinely interested in improving our security to ensure success and their proactive nature makes all the difference.

Scott Boyer | Security and Compliance Manager, MedHealth

We’d been working towards aligning our organisation with the Australian Signals Directorate Essential Eight (ASD8), but when our executive team made it a priority, we knew we had to bring in external support. The Missing Link was the obvious solution – they’d been working with us since we operated from internal servers, had migrated us to the cloud, and were managing our infrastructure. They knew our business so well that they barely needed a brief. They completed a Security Controls Review, identified areas needing work and provided full costings. Now we’re working together to reach ASD8 maturity.
