HOW VIRAYA SKAI HELPS

Turn urgent questions
into a clear next step.

Talk to Viraya SKAI about a scoped review of your PHP environment. Agree on the systems, evidence and responsibilities before the work begins.

01 / IDENTIFY

Find the exposure.

Review the agreed inventory of websites, portals and applications, including environments managed by hosting providers.

02 / VERIFY

Check patch status.

Review version and vendor patch evidence with your IT team. Identify unresolved items and the people responsible.

03 / INVESTIGATE

Examine the evidence.

Review available logs and agreed indicators of suspicious activity. Identify where deeper investigation is needed.

04 / PRIORITISE

Make action clear.

Bring findings, evidence gaps and recommended next steps together in a prioritised summary for your team.

EVIDENCE BEFORE ASSURANCE

A review you can
question. Findings
you can act on.

Viraya SKAI’s approach starts with your environment and the evidence available. The scope and limitations are made clear, so your team knows what has been checked and what remains open.

See the European cybersecurity advisory ↗

A defined scope

Agree which systems and evidence will be reviewed, alongside access requirements, fees and timing.

Findings with context

Distinguish confirmed observations from unresolved questions. A lack of evidence is not proof that a system was never compromised.

Your team stays involved

Coordinate next steps with your IT team and hosting provider. Monitoring supports investigation; it does not replace patching.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Request a PHP
Exposure Review.

Know what has been reviewed, what remains unresolved and what your team should prioritise next.

Start with a scoping conversation. Deliverables, access, fees and timing are agreed before work begins.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

We already patched. Is a review still relevant?

Patching addresses the vulnerability. Reviewing available evidence can help assess suspicious activity that may have occurred earlier. The value of a review depends on your environment, available logs and existing security coverage.

Our hosting provider manages PHP. What should we do?

Ask your provider for confirmation that the relevant security fixes have been applied. Include the provider’s response and patch evidence when discussing the review scope.

Should we wait for the review before updating?

No. Follow the official PHP and vendor remediation guidance promptly. Do not delay updates while waiting for an appointment.

What is a PHP Exposure Review?

A PHP Exposure Review is a scoped assessment of PHP-based websites, portals and applications. Viraya SKAI reviews the agreed system inventory, vendor patch evidence and available logs, then summarises findings, evidence gaps and prioritised next steps with your IT team.

It does not establish that a system is breach-free. Scope, access, fees and timing are agreed before work begins.
