Web Site Health Checks Description

A Web Site Health Check is a routine check of the security of your web site. TAYLOR CONSULTANTS tests the security of various attributes of your web site and then provides the findings in a report, along with recommendations for fixing any problems found.

A Web Site Health Check will indicate the state of security of your web site and what, if any, vulnerabilities you need to address in order to improve that security.

A Web Site Health Check involves TAYLOR CONSULTANTS:

  • Probing your web site for applications and services running on open ports;
  • Performing operating system fingerprinting;
  • Performing TCP/IP sequence prediction;
  • Checking for known vulnerabilities in your CGI scripts; and
  • Checking for known vulnerabilities in your web server, operating system and application software that can be exploited by hackers over the Internet.

Deliverables

After performing your Web Site Health Check, TAYLOR CONSULTANTS’s provides you with a report detailing:

  • The vulnerabilities in your web server;
  • Which ports are open and what applications are running on those ports;
  • Which CGI scripts are insecure and contain flaws;
  • How easy it is for hackers to identify your operating system; and
  • How easy it is to hijack a TCP session on your web server.
