BEC Vulnerability Assessment for Professional Services Firms
Business Email Compromise is the highest-value cybercrime affecting UK professional services firms. This assessment identifies the technical and procedural gaps that leave your firm vulnerable to BEC attacks — from missing DMARC configuration to inadequate bank-detail-change verification procedures.
Firms with DMARC at p=reject and a documented bank-detail verification procedure reduce BEC risk by over 90%.
What This Assessment Covers
The BEC Vulnerability Assessment evaluates your firm against the five controls that most effectively prevent BEC:
- Email authentication — DMARC, DKIM, SPF configuration on your primary sending domain
- Anti-impersonation controls — detection of look-alike domains and display name spoofing
- Account security — MFA on all email accounts, legacy protocol status, admin account controls
- Verification procedures — documented bank-detail-change and payment-instruction verification procedures
- Staff awareness — BEC-specific training, phishing simulation results, reporting culture
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a BEC vulnerability assessment find that a standard security review misses?
Standard security reviews often focus on technical controls — firewalls, patching, antivirus. BEC vulnerability assessments specifically test the combination of technical authentication controls and procedural verification controls that together prevent BEC. A firm can have strong perimeter security and still be highly vulnerable to BEC if DMARC is not at p=reject and if staff can be socially engineered into actioning a payment change by email alone.
