Insider Threat Assessment
Assessing risk from the people already inside your systems, not just the attackers trying to get in.
Who this is for: Businesses with privileged users, sensitive data, or a history of access that outlives the reason it was granted.
The Problem
Every external control in the world doesn’t address the risk of someone who already has legitimate access, whether through carelessness, a grudge, or simple opportunity.
Our Solution
We review privileged-user risk, data exfiltration exposure, and offboarding controls, the practical, unglamorous work that actually reduces insider risk.
What's included
- Privileged-user access review
- Data exfiltration exposure assessment
- Offboarding control review
- Behavioral indicator monitoring guidance
- Access review process design
This overlaps significantly with our Identity & Access Security service, this page frames the same underlying work specifically around insider risk: not just “who has access,” but “what could this specific person actually do with it, and would we notice.”
Benefits
- Privileged access reviewed against actual need, not assumption
- Offboarding gaps closed before they’re exploited
- A practical review process, not surveillance for its own sake
Our Process
Identify Privileged Users
Map who has access to sensitive systems and data.
Assess Exposure
Evaluate what data exfiltration would actually look like.
Review Offboarding
Confirm access is actually removed on exit.
Recommend Controls
Practical, proportionate risk reduction.
Review Periodically
Recurring review as roles and access change.
Frequently asked questions
Is this about monitoring employees?
It’s about access and process, not surveillance, the focus is on reducing what any single person could do with their legitimate access, and making sure that access is removed when it should be.
How is this different from Identity & Access Security?
Identity & Access Security covers access management broadly; this assessment specifically frames that work around insider-risk scenarios and offboarding gaps.
