Cyber security assessment services from Molfar Intelligence help UK and international organisations identify exposure that routine security checks may miss. We combine technical reconnaissance, exposed-data analysis, and controlled human-factor testing to establish which weaknesses matter in practice, then prioritise findings so your team knows what to address first.

What Is a Cyber Security Assessment?
A cyber security assessment is a structured review of an organisation’s current security exposure across systems, data, access controls, human factors, and third-party dependencies. It looks for weaknesses such as exposed infrastructure, leaked credentials, misconfiguration, weak authentication, and human-factor risks, then assesses their significance and which ones deserve priority.
Unlike a penetration test, the assessment is not centred on exploiting a defined technical target. And unlike broader cyber risk management, it is not an ongoing governance programme. Its purpose is to establish where your organisation is exposed now, what that exposure could enable, and where remediation should start.
What Our Cyber Security Assessment Covers
We assess the points where technical weaknesses, exposed information, human factors, and external dependencies can create practical security risk. The goal is not to produce the longest possible list of findings, but to establish which exposures matter and how they could be used.
01
External Attack Surface
Map internet-facing systems, domains, subdomains, services, and other publicly visible infrastructure to identify unnecessary exposure, misconfiguration, and assets that may require closer security review.
02
Exposed Data and Credentials
Identify leaked credentials, sensitive documents, exposed corporate information, and other data that could be used to bypass security controls, gain unauthorised access, commit fraud, or support targeted social engineering.
03
Internal Controls and Access Risks
Review available evidence of weak authentication, overly broad access, insecure configurations, and security control gaps that could make existing exposure more consequential.
04
Human-Factor and Social Engineering Exposure
Assess how publicly available employee information, communication patterns, and controlled social-engineering testing can reveal weaknesses that technical controls alone may not show.
05
Third-Party Cyber Exposure
Examine suppliers, partners, and other external dependencies for exposed infrastructure, leaked data, or access arrangements that could introduce security risk into your organisation.
06
Threat Context and Risk Prioritisation
Put the findings in context: which weaknesses are realistically exploitable, which could combine into a more serious exposure, and where to begin remediation.
Output
What You Receive
Cyber Security Assessment Report
A structured report covering identified exposures, affected assets, supporting evidence, and the security context needed to understand each finding.
Prioritised Security Findings
Findings ranked by practical risk, so your team can distinguish urgent weaknesses from lower-priority issues and focus remediation accordingly.
Exposure and Relationship Mapping
A mapped view of relevant systems, accounts, people, third parties, and other dependencies that shape the organisation’s overall exposure.
Remediation Priorities
Clear review points showing where security controls, access, configuration, authentication, or internal processes require attention first.
Security Gaps Rarely Exist in Isolation
A misconfigured service, leaked credential, exposed employee information, or third-party access may look limited when viewed on its own. In combination, however, separate security weaknesses can create a credible route from reconnaissance to unauthorised access, fraud, or targeted social engineering. A useful assessment therefore examines how findings connect, rather than rating each one in isolation.
Molfar correlates technical exposure with leaked data, identity and access signals, human-factor weaknesses, third-party dependencies, and relevant threat context. This helps distinguish issues that simply exist from combinations that materially weaken resilience and deserve faster remediation.
Find the Gaps Before Someone Else Does
If you suspect your security picture is incomplete, we can establish where the real exposure sits and which security weaknesses deserve attention first.

Cyber Security Assessment Case Studies
Case
Human-Digital Vulnerability Audit
Request
A regulatory technology firm delivering compliance automation solutions to financial institutions needed an independent assessment of its internal cyber security posture. Because the company handled sensitive client data for more than 200K institutional users, identifying exploitable vulnerabilities before adversarial actors could act was a business-critical priority for management.
What We Did
Molfar conducted a digital risk and human vulnerability assessment combining open-source technical reconnaissance with controlled social engineering simulations. Analysts mapped exposed infrastructure, including misconfigured subdomains, publicly accessible internal endpoints, and unintended data exposures across the company’s digital footprint. In parallel, Molfar specialists tested employees' responses to authority-based manipulation and credential-solicitation attempts.
Key Findings
Several internal subdomains and staging environments were publicly accessible, exposing configuration data and API endpoints that could be used in a targeted attack.
Some employees disclosed sensitive access credentials or internal process details during simulated impersonation scenarios, showing insufficient verification habits.
Phishing awareness was inconsistent across teams, with higher response rates to high-risk phishing attempts among non-technical staff handling client data and onboarding workflows.
Outcome
The findings helped the client define remediation priorities for cyber risk management. The client used the findings to address infrastructure exposures through targeted network reconfiguration and to update security awareness training for high-risk employee groups. The assessment helped close exploitable gaps before they could be used in a real attack.
Case
Fintech Business Process Audit
Request
A fintech company providing identity verification and anti-fraud solutions to B2B clients across the US and the EU needed to assess cyber risk linked to team security awareness and internal processes.
What We Did
Molfar Intelligence reviewed technical vulnerabilities, exposed subdomains, publicly accessible internal data, and human-factor risk indicators. Specialists also conducted controlled social engineering tests to understand whether employees could be manipulated into sharing sensitive information.
Key Findings
Critical weaknesses were identified in internal systems and network configurations.
Some employees violated cyber security protocols during simulations.
The assessment identified gaps in phishing threat awareness across the organisation.
Outcome
The client used the findings to optimise internal networks and improve staff training. These actions reduced the likelihood of data leaks and strengthened the company’s resilience against real-world cyberattacks.
Key Benefits
A cyber security assessment gives your team a clearer view of where exposure sits, what matters most, and where action can reduce risk most effectively.
Find Exposure Before It Becomes an Incident
Identify security weaknesses before they become a usable route into the organisation.
Focus Remediation Where It Matters
Prioritise the findings that create the most meaningful exposure, rather than treating every technical issue as equally urgent.
Reduce Human and Third-Party Blind Spots
Bring employee behaviour, external dependencies, and exposed information into the same security picture as technical controls.
Make Security Decisions with More Confidence
Give security and management teams a shared view of the issues that require attention, the evidence behind them, and the order in which to address them.
How the Assessment Works
We scope the assessment around the organisation, its digital footprint, and the security exposures most relevant to the business. Each stage adds evidence and context, so the final priorities reflect the practical significance of the findings rather than their technical severity alone.
01
Define the Assessment Scope
Agree on the systems, business units, people, third parties, and risk questions the assessment needs to cover.
02
Map the External Attack Surface
Identify internet-facing assets, domains, subdomains, exposed services, and other infrastructure visible from outside the organisation.
03
Review Data, Credentials, and Access Exposure
Examine leaked credentials, exposed information, authentication weaknesses, misconfiguration, and other signals that could support unauthorised access.
04
Assess Human and Third-Party Exposure
Review employee-related information, social-engineering risk, suppliers, partners, and external dependencies that may expand the organisation’s attack surface.
05
Correlate and Test the Findings
Cross-check technical, human, and external signals to establish which findings are credible and where the practical exposure is greatest.
06
Prioritise and Report
Rank the findings by practical risk, document the supporting evidence, and identify the areas where remediation should begin.
