TpISENT (SL) Limited, TpGroup's computing and information systems company in Freetown, offers security assessments, audit, hardening, staff training, monitoring and incident response to banks, businesses, institutions and government. ### What is a security assessment? A security assessment reviews your systems, settings and practices to find where you are exposed, then ranks the gaps to close. It is the first step in our service, followed by closing the gaps and then monitoring. ### Do you do penetration testing? Yes. Security assessments and penetration testing are part of the service. ### Do you audit existing systems? Yes. TpISENT does audit and security work on existing systems and infrastructure, and reports what to fix first. ### Can you train our staff on security? Yes. Hardening, policies and staff awareness are part of the service, because technology alone does not protect an organisation. ### What happens if we have a security incident? Monitoring and incident response are part of the service. Contact us on +232 76 617550 or through the contact form. ### Can you help protect personal data? Yes. We help institutions and government protect citizens' data through policies, monitoring and incident response. If you need advice on a specific law or standard, tell us which and we will say what we can and cannot do. Providers: TpISENT.
