IT Consulting & Vulnerability Assessment Services

Vulnerability Assessment & Compliance Scanning

Our core specialty is external and internal vulnerability assessment, delivered with NIST-validated scanning under the SCAP v.1.2 standard and Cyberscope report format. PackerIT is a PCI-Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) and provides scanning solutions aligned to PCI, FISMA, HIPAA, NERC CIP and SOX - so your assessment holds up whether you're answering to an auditor, a regulator, or your own board.

That expertise is backed by 25+ years of hands-on enterprise network and security engineering, including production experience with CrowdStrike, DarkTrace, Rapid7, Qualys, Palo Alto, and Cisco platforms - not just running a scanner, but understanding what the results actually mean for your environment.

In addition to vulnerability assessment, we also offer the following IT consulting services:

Consulting Services:   

     We also handle the everyday IT work that keeps a network solid: network and firewall upgrades, Office 365 migrations, and ongoing infrastructure planning and maintenance.

     For smaller companies, PackerIT serves as your IT department, for larger entities we can be an extension of your IT department.

External Vulnerability Assessment (EVA):

     We scan the internet-facing ports and services attackers probe first, and deliver bi-weekly or monthly reports (PDF or HTML) showing exactly what's exposed and where you stand.

Internal Vulnerability Assessment (IVA):

     Internal vulnerabilities matter just as much as external ones  —malware and insider threats can exploit gaps in servers, routers, firewalls, and switches even when nothing is internet-facing. We monitor your internal network on the same cadence so nothing gets a free pass just because it's behind the firewall. 

Morning Check:

     Sometimes, companies need an extra and independent eye on things.  We compose suitable checklists for your operating environment and perform daily checks to assure that your critical systems are up and functioning.  Weekday check are completed before 9AM EST so as your staff is rolling in, a status report is there to greet them and focus attention on any issues that might need immediate attention. 

Secure File Transfers:

     Secure file transfers are often necessary when sharing confidential information and complying with data security regulations such as HIPAA and FINRA, or with client and permitted-user requirements.

     We offer simple solutions for securely transferring files under those circumstances.  Our solutions run on cloud-based platforms such as AWS (Amazon Web Services), Microsoft Azure, and other platforms.  When combined with our security scanning solutions for your network, our customers and their clients have peace of mind and assurance you can securely handle your clients’ data management needs.

Firmware Check:

     The first line of defense to cyber-intrusion often involves keeping operating versions of software and firmware current and up-to-date.  Some vulnerabilities, such as out-of-date operating versions, may elude conventional intrusion testing.

     For that reason, firmware used by our customers' routers and switches must be kept current and up to date with the equipment vendor.  We inventory your equipment, specify operating firmware and IOS versions being used, identify vulnerabilities and recommend appropriate remediation.
