Business Apps Security Readiness

Is your business application security where it should be? Core Business Applications —such as Dynamics 365, NetSuite, and JD Edwards—store and process sensitive customer and operational data. However, misconfigured permissions, excessive user access, and data security gaps can put your business at risk of data breaches, compliance violations, and cyber threats.

Unlike a standard cybersecurity assessment, which focuses on infrastructure, identity, and endpoint security, our Business Apps Security Readiness Assessment is designed specifically for ERP and business-critical systems, helping you:

• Identify security gaps in business-critical applications
• Analyse data access and permissions to prevent unauthorised exposure
• Align with security compliance frameworks (such as Essential Eight, CIS v8, NZ ISM, and NIST)
• Create an actionable roadmap to strengthen application security and reduce risk

How do you know if this is right for your organisation?
This assessment is ideal for organisations that:
• Rely on ERP or Business Applications (e.g. Dynamics 365, NetSuite, JD Edwards) for critical operations • Require better visibility into user roles, access permissions, and data security
• Need to align with compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, and Essential Eight
• Want to minimise security risks from third-party integrations and misconfigurations
• Are preparing for an audit, compliance check, or internal security initiative

If your organisation falls into any of these categories, our Business Apps Security Readiness Assessment can help you mitigate risks and ensure compliance.

Note: If you are looking for support with frameworks such as NIST or NZ ISM, we can still support this. However, this is considered non-standard and may require additional effort outside our core methodology. How is This Different from a Standard Cybersecurity Assessment?

While a standard cybersecurity assessment (CSAT) evaluates broad IT security posture across cloud, endpoint, and identity security, Business Apps Security Readiness focuses specifically on business application security risks, such as:

• Access Control Analysis – Ensuring users have the right access without unnecessary privileges
• Application Security Hardening – Assessing and improving security settings within Dynamics 365, NetSuite, JD Edwards, and other ERP platforms • Data Security & Compliance Alignment – Reviewing data storage, sharing permissions, and compliance adherence
• Business-Critical Process Protection – Identifying risks within financial workflows, automation, and third-party integrations

If your organisation relies on core business applications, you need a security strategy that goes beyond standard infrastructure assessments.
Assessment phases

Phase 1: Kick-off and Setup Stakeholder meeting to define security objectives, business applications, and compliance requirements. Phase 2: Security Assessment and Data Collection Automated scans to assess security of Dynamics 365, NetSuite, JD Edwards, and other ERP platforms. Review permissions, user roles, and compliance adherence. Phase 3: Risk Analysis and Prioritisation Identify misconfigurations, assess compliance gaps, and prioritise vulnerabilities based on risk impact. Phase 4: Actionable Roadmap and Recommendations Provide a comprehensive report with findings, remediation steps, and a roadmap for security improvements.

What you’ll receive

• Prioritise recommendation timeline – Helps focus on critical vulnerabilities first
• Custom security roadmap – Clear action steps to enhance security and compliance
• Executive and IT team reports – Summarised strategic insights and technical remediation guidance
