Nerdma is a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions for businesses of all sizes. We understand the importance of protecting sensitive information and ensuring the security of our clients' systems and networks. In tailoring robust solutions for our clients, we ensemble a combination of frameworks - NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) and ISO 27002. They are the foundation for our security services.

NIST is a risk-based approach to cybersecurity that helps organizations to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks. It provides a common language and framework for communication about cybersecurity risks and enables our clients to prioritize their cybersecurity efforts.

The OWASP framework is a widely recognized standard for identifying and addressing common vulnerabilities in web applications. It provides a comprehensive list of security risks and best practices for mitigating those risks. This list, commonly referred to as "OWASP Top 10", is continuously updated thus our clients are always informed and equipped to protect their web-based systems.

ISO 27002, also known as ISO/IEC 27002, is an international standard that provides guidelines and general principles for initiating, implementing, maintaining, and improving information security management in an organization. We use it as a guideline to maintain best practices for security management, including policies and procedures, physical and environmental security, as well as incident management.

Our Cybersecurity Services

Our services include, but are not limited to, DevSecOps, Security Awareness Training, Penetration Testing, Vulnerability Scanning, Security Auditing, Incident Response Management, and Compliance management. With our expertise and use of industry-leading practices and frameworks, we are able to provide comprehensive cybersecurity solutions that effectively protect our clients' networks and data from cyber threats.

DevSecOps

At the foremost of our security services is DevSecOps. This is because we understand the importance of integrating security into the development process in order to reduce risk and increase efficiency. The old adage, Prevention is better than cure, holds true for us. Our DevSecOps approach brings together development, security, and operations teams to work collaboratively, with the goal of delivering secure and reliable software quickly and efficiently.

We decree that security is not just an add-on, but an essential part of the software development process.

Our DevSecOps services include:

Secure software development

We work with development teams to integrate security into the software development process, including code reviews, threat modelling, and penetration testing.

Automated testing

We use automated testing tools to ensure that software is free of vulnerabilities before it is deployed.

Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)

We use a CI/CD pipeline to automate the software development process, including testing, building, and deployment.

Security monitoring and incident response

We monitor systems and applications in real-time to detect and respond to security incidents, including vulnerabilities and breaches.

Training The Dev Team

We provide training and education to development teams on how to build secure software and incorporate security best practices into their work

Penetration testing

We simulate real-world cyber-attacks to identify vulnerabilities in your systems and networks before they can be exploited by attackers.

Below are some of our Penetration Testing services:

External Penetration Testing

We simulate attacks from the Internet, assessing the security of your perimeter defences and external-facing systems and applications.

Internal Penetration Testing

We simulate attacks from within your network, assessing the security of your internal systems and applications.

Wireless Penetration Testing

We assess the security of your wireless networks, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Web Application Penetration Testing

We assess the security of your web applications and web services, identifying vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting.

We also provide remediation guidance and recommendations, to help you address the vulnerabilities identified during testing, as well as provide training to your staff on how to prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future.

Security assessments

We analyse your systems and networks to identify potential security risks and provide recommendations for mitigating them.

Incident response

In the event of a security breach, our incident response team is ready to provide you with the expertise and resources you need to contain and recover from the attack.

Compliance
