IT Security Audit Services for Houston Businesses
Do you actually know how secure your Houston business is? Most business owners assume their IT is reasonably secure — until a breach proves otherwise. An IT security audit gives you an objective, evidence-based picture of your actual security posture: what’s protected, what’s exposed, and what attackers would find if they targeted your business today. xS LLC (SpaceTown IT) performs IT security audits for Houston businesses across all industries and sizes.
What a Security Audit Covers
External Attack Surface Assessment
We scan your externally visible assets — public IP addresses, web applications, email servers, VPN endpoints — looking for open ports, unpatched software, misconfigured services, and other exposures that attackers can reach from the internet without credentials.
Internal Network Assessment
From inside your network (as a rogue employee or attacker who’s gained initial access would be), we assess network segmentation, internal service exposure, default credentials on network devices, and lateral movement opportunities that would allow an attacker to escalate from a compromised workstation to your critical servers.
Endpoint Security Review
We assess your endpoint protection status across all computers and servers: patch levels, antivirus/EDR deployment, encryption status, endpoint configuration hardening, and compliance with your security policies.
Email Security Assessment
We check your email authentication records (DMARC, DKIM, SPF), test whether external emails can impersonate your domain, review spam filter configuration, and assess phishing resistance through simulated phishing campaigns.
Access Control Review
We review user accounts for excessive privileges, inactive accounts that should be disabled, shared credentials, and multi-factor authentication gaps. This is one of the highest-value assessments because privileged access abuse is one of the most common attack patterns.
You Get a Written Report with Prioritized Findings
Every security audit concludes with a written report that presents findings in plain language — no impenetrable security jargon. Findings are rated by severity and exploitability, so you know exactly what to fix first. We provide specific remediation recommendations for every finding, and we’re available to implement the fixes ourselves or work alongside your existing IT resources.
Our security audit integrates with our ongoing cybersecurity services and managed IT services. Many Houston businesses do annual security audits to track their improvement over time and satisfy compliance and cyber insurance requirements.
