FOR SECURITY & RISK PARTNERS

See the engineering conditions behind the security findings.

Connect vulnerabilities and control weaknesses to the architecture, dependencies and engineering practices that created or sustain them.

The technical question behind the decision.

Security reviews can surface vulnerabilities without explaining the engineering conditions that created them or the broader remediation effort required.

WHAT COMPASS ADDS

Move from public signals to the material that explains them.

Begin with the deployed application, examine the repository when necessary, and involve a specialist where the software cannot be assessed in isolation.

01
OUTSIDE-IN

Compass Scan

Automated external assessment

Compass Scan examines what can be observed from a deployed application, including security basics, privacy signals, runtime behaviour, performance, production readiness and public search visibility.

02
INSIDE THE CODE

Compass Code

Customer-controlled repository assessment

Analyse repository and engineering evidence inside your controlled environment without requiring source code to be transferred to Blue Top.

03
SPECIALIST REVIEW

Compass Assessment

Specialist independent assessment

Examine the software alongside its architecture, delivery history, vendor model, operating environment and business constraints.

Questions the assessment can address.

  • Which risks are symptoms of deeper engineering issues?
  • Are outdated technologies increasing exposure?
  • How mature are testing and delivery controls?
  • Where do dependencies create concentration risk?
  • What will sustainable remediation require?

Material examined.

  • Architecture and dependency analysis
  • Technology lifecycle evidence
  • Testing maturity
  • Engineering controls
  • Operational weakness indicators

RELEVANT CASE STUDY

Recurring patterns across a complex software estate.

Our anonymised healthcare assessment connected implementation evidence with security, operational and remediation exposure.
