Inside the Engagement

Background

The reviewer is the IT manager of a natural gas company based in Newport Beach, California, with 501 to 1,000 employees. The company provides natural gas as an alternative fuel for vehicle fleets in the United States and Canada, focusing on the development, operation, and distribution of natural gas fueling stations.

The company found CAL IT Group through a referral. Its reasons for choosing CAL IT Group included high ratings, pricing that fit its budget, good value for cost, and the referral itself. The engagement began in October 2019 and is ongoing.

The Challenge

The company hired CAL IT Group with three goals: internal and external penetration testing, ongoing vulnerability management, and advanced security hardware and software.

The Solution

A team of two to five CAL IT Group employees supports the engagement. As described by the client, the scope includes an in-depth internal and external penetration test, followed by an ongoing vulnerability scanning and management program. The key deliverables are:

  • A detailed report of penetration test findings, covering methodologies, discovered vulnerabilities, severity levels, potential impacts, and tailored recommendations
  • A vulnerability scanning schedule and protocols, including scan frequency, tools, and how scanning parameters are updated for emerging threats
  • A vulnerability management framework for tracking, evaluating, and prioritizing vulnerabilities, with response protocols for critical issues
  • Remediation guidance and support for addressing identified vulnerabilities
  • An executive summary for leadership and regular review meetings on findings and remediation progress

Communication takes place through in-person meetings, virtual meetings, and email or messaging apps.
