Acomprehensive assessment of your organisation's security defences.
White Box and Black Box Security Health Check
Security Health Checks are a vital exercise for organisations aiming to protect their digital
assets and maintain compliance with industry regulations.
These assessments offer invaluable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of your current security measures,
enabling you to make informed decisions about how to enhance your defences against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Our Security Health Checks are categorised into two primary methodologies:
At AccSec LLP, our White Box and Black Box Security Health Checks provide a comprehensive assessment of your organisation's security defences, ensuring that vulnerabilities are identified and mitigated before they can be exploited.
We can help you secure your organisation against the ever-present dangers of the digital world.

1. White Box Security Health Check
A White Box Security Health Check involves a detailed and transparent examination of your organisation's internal systems and architecture. Our experts are provided with full access to your network infrastructure, source code, and system configurations, allowing for an in-
depth analysis of your security posture. This approach is particularly effective for identifying vulnerabilities that may not be immediately apparent from an external perspective, such as logic flaws, configuration errors, or insecure coding practices.
During a White Box assessment, our team scrutinises every aspect of your security environment, from firewalls and access controls to application code and database management. By understanding the inner workings of your systems, we can uncover hidden vulnerabilities and provide actionable recommendations to strengthen your defences. This
type of assessment is ideal for organisations that need to ensure the security of their internal processes, applications, and data.
2. Black Box Security Health Check
In contrast, a Black Box Security Health Check simulates an external attack on your organisation without prior knowledge of your internal systems. Our security experts operate as would-be attackers, attempting to breach your defences using the same tools and techniques employed by cybercriminals. This approach is crucial for understanding how well
your perimeter security measures can withstand an assault from an external threat actor.
The Black Box methodology is particularly valuable for identifying vulnerabilities in your external-facing assets, such as web applications, network infrastructure, and remote access points. By simulating an outsider’s perspective, we can evaluate how effectively your
security measures detect and prevent unauthorised access. This assessment provides a realistic view of the risks your organisation faces from external threats and helps you prioritise areas for improvement.
Why White Box and Black Box Security Health
Checks Are Essential
Both are critical for maintaining a resilient security posture.
While White Box testing provides a thorough understanding of your
internal security environment, Black Box testing offers a realistic simulation of external
threats. Together, these assessments deliver a comprehensive overview of your
organisation’s security strengths and weaknesses.
In today’s threat landscape, where cyber attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and targeted, relying on a single security assessment method is no longer sufficient.
We can help you secure your organisation against the ever-present dangers of the digital world.
