How much damage could a lost smartphone do? The Stolen Device Assessment will help you know for sure.
Indispensable in the mobile workplace, smartphones, tablets and laptops allow your employees to be productive any place, any time. But if one of these devices is stolen, hackers have direct access to some of your most sensitive systems and data.
The Stolen Device Assessment will help you understand those risks, and how prepared you are to deal with them. Our consultants will simulate a cyberattack using a ‘stolen’ device, analysing the performance of your defences and processes in dealing with this all-too-common occurrence.
A stolen device is a security backdoor
Stolen devices make it simple for hackers to gain access to secure resources because the system is already trusted. Many use cached credentials to log in to the corporate network, giving attackers an instant foothold and reducing the time and effort required to break in.
Devices store data
Mobile devices typically store data locally, some of which may contain sensitive details. Stealing a device may provide hackers with access to valuable IP or expose personally identifiable information (PII) in breach of the GDPR.
Assess encryption and sandboxing provisions
Measures like disk encryption and app sandboxing can secure locally-stored data – if it has been deployed and maintained correctly. A stolen device assessment will investigate the efficacy of your data security measures.
On-device testing
Initial tests will focus on breaking into the stolen device itself. Our consultants will try to extract PII and other sensitive data directly from the local storage.
Credential recovery
Cached credentials and passwords provide authorised access to your network. We will attempt recovery of these details from a ‘stolen’ device.
Penetration test
Using a ‘stolen’ device, our engineers will breach your network. Penetration testing allows you to assess how effective security provisions, and which data stores and applications are most at risk.
Mobile security planning
As well as exposing vulnerabilities in your existing mobile environment, our report will help you plan for the future. Our consultants will also help you plan the necessary safeguards to protect your network as it evolves and develops in future.

Introduction Quiplash – a game full of wit, banter and borderline acceptable humour… and security consultants on a lunch break.
