Security audits as a security measure
Small and medium-sized companies are increasingly the target of highly professional cyberattacks, which they can hardly counteract. Security audits, which are the starting point for suitable security measures, are usually not carried out on them. This means that potential gateways for cyber criminals often go undetected. The reasons for this lie in the relatively high costs and a lack of understanding of advanced IT security in order to be able to fully assess the usefulness of recommended measures.
Automated, cost-effective security checks
Lywand aims to solve this problem for both IT service providers and companies by streamlining the entire process and producing a report that is easy to understand for both parties:
- Fully automated analysis: The Lywand service automatically scans all external resources of the infrastructure, such as web and mail servers, gateways or web applications.
- Simple, intuitive user interface: The results are summarized in a user-friendly interface that is easy to understand for IT service providers. If you want to delve deeper into the analysis, you can choose a detailed detailed view.

- Detection of leaked data: Lywand checks whether there are possibly stolen company data sets in circulation on the Internet. This supports SMEs in being able to meet their statutory reporting obligations, such as those prescribed by the GDPR, in the required time frame in an emergency.
- Action list with product recommendations: Based on the results, Lywand generates a clear list of recommended actions, classified according to urgency, effort and cost. In addition, the solution provides information on which security products and components IT service providers can use to remedy the listed security gaps.
- Management report for customers: All the results of the security check are automatically compiled in a generally understandable management report that service providers can present to their customers to explain how to proceed.
In this way, IT service providers create suitable conditions with the least possible effort to increase the security level of all their customers and to significantly minimize the risks from professional cyber attacks.
