Improve Your Organization’s Security and Compliance

Improved Security and Efficiency

Secure Provisioning and Deprovisioning

Provisioning and deprovisioning are two of the most common processes that potentially can become a security risk. Whether manual or automated, a poorly designed provisioning ecosystem can run havoc across an organization, with the risk of wrong user entitlements and orphaned accounts across multiple systems.

Our solutions secure your provisioning ecosystem by allowing you to design a strict role-based access control entitlement matrix. In addition, our solutions automatically disable accounts when users leave the organization or are moved to a new position rather than waiting for a notice, which can be a few days later.

Pause for Principle of Least Privilege

Here at Tools4ever, we believe in the concept of Principle Of Least Privilege (POLP). Our consultancy staff and your security professionals can design simple but complex role models and business rules to help with POLP.

Our IDM solutions, use role-based access controls (RBAC) to define strict role models and business rules. As a result, this guarantees that when users are processed through our provisioning engines, their entitlements, and access rights are assigned based on your organization’s requirements.

Passwords Are Painful

Passwords are a common target for hackers. Improve security by allowing your users to easily access all their applications from a single dashboard with single sign-on (SSO) and multifactor authentication (MFA). In addition, using SSO allows for stronger passwords on an individual level since the SSO product is doing the actual authentication.

SSO helps improve security and is a more efficient way of dealing with multiple applications with different password complexity requirements. It also streamlines the end user’s login process.

Streamlined Authentication

Individual applications and services are increasingly enforcing stricter security through their own unique authentication processes. However, without a central hub, this effectively doubles both login effort and cost—especially if each provider enforces their own MFA method your organization now has to support.

By contrast, once a user is logged into the HelloID dashboard, SSO protocols ensure automatic authentication into individual resources. For additional security, MFA can be enforced at the application level for resources storing sensitive data. HelloID provides streamlined authentication for all users by eliminating the repetitive and complicated logins each service or app requires otherwise.

Penetration Testing by Deloitte

Besides the in-house testing done by our team of security experts, our HelloID infrastructure is externally tested twice a year by the top-class ethical hackers of Deloitte according to NCSC ICT-B v2 guidelines & use of OWASP.

Deloitte is an independent, highly qualified market leader in information security and was ranked first in global Security Consulting Services for six consecutive years by Gartner. By proactively and frequently testing our security solutions, we can meet and exceed security requirements while complying with relevant industry standards.

For Tools4ever, this is always an important test. It keeps our experts sharp and stimulates the ongoing improvement of our technology and services. For you as a customer, it is important to know that independent specialists test the HelloID solution every 6 months with a critical eye to discover any vulnerabilities before they can lead to any harm.

Why A Security Test by External “Ethical Hackers”?

As a company developing Identity & Access Management products, we have many security experts within our ranks. So naturally, we frequently ask our experts to try to attack our solutions. Nevertheless, we think it is important that there is also a regular evaluation of our systems by external experts. Such external tests prevent the occurrence of blind spots and assist us with an extra pair of eyes.

By choosing the ethical hackers of Deloitte, we have opted for guaranteed independent and highly qualified security experts. It is crucial to us that Deloitte verifies the integrity of all its experts so that you, as a customer, can be sure that the test results are not misused in any way.

Scope of the Security Test

The biannual survey is not a “paper tiger.” It is not just a desk review of our solutions’ design and specifications. Instead, the test consists of a large number of attempts by professional, ethical hackers to attack them.

These ethical hackers have been trained to look at IT systems from the point of view of an experienced cybercriminal to recognize vulnerabilities that others might overlook. They use, for example, the NCSC ICT-B v2 guidelines and the OWASP Top 10 Application Security Risks of 2013 and 2017.

The test procedure naturally includes the traditional black box tests. Such tests are aimed at getting unauthorized access to functionality and data without knowledge of the system. However, in our application security tests, the testers also execute so-called gray box tests. A gray box test looks for security weaknesses in specific parts of HelloID, using inside information about the design and operation of the software. Finally, we look at the possibilities for authorized users within the system. Do they have unintended possibilities which go beyond what’s necessary for their role?

The industry has known for a long time that fraud and cybercrime often take place from within organizations. So, at Tools4ever, we not only test the quality of our “front door” but also look at the security of the application against someone authorized to use it.

The tests cover the full range of potential vulnerabilities, from system reports providing too many details to the presence of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.
