Bluedog Compromise Assessment

Bluedog Compromise Assessment is a managed security service designed to detect threat actors that are currently active or have recently been active within an organisation's network. The service is conducted by Bluedog's analysts who examine data from network assets, endpoints, network layers, and external sources, correlating findings with threat intelligence to identify evidence of compromise. The assessment covers three main areas: **Endpoint Analysis** Endpoints are examined for attacker persistence mechanisms, system logs are reviewed for signs of compromise, and indicators of compromise (IOCs) are identified on individual devices. **Network Analysis** The network is scanned for historical indicators of compromise. Bluedog also recommends its proprietary MDR system alongside this service for real-time detection of active threat actors. **External Source Analysis** Analysts search deep and dark web sites and forums for leaked credentials, email account details, and other data linked to the assessed organisation. Upon completion, a report is produced detailing findings along with remediation and mitigation recommendations. Common use cases include post-breach validation (confirming attackers have been fully eradicated), pre-acquisition due diligence, and proactive assessments for organisations that suspect a compromise without definitive evidence. The service is also used to satisfy compliance obligations that require periodic compromise assessments.
