Security Assessments
Identify and minimize any cybersecurity vulnerabilities before a cybercriminal can exploit them.
What's hiding in your environment?
These are the issues that we find most often:
- Tools that aren't configured correctly
- Policies and plans that aren't enforced or tested
- Compliance requirements that aren't fully documented
- Gaps in cyber insurance requirements
- Former employees with active credentials
What we're looking at — and why it matters
Our cybersecurity assessment combines stakeholder interviews, documentation review, and technical evaluation.
Your policies and governance
Your technical environment
Your framework alignment
Assessment tiers
Every assessment includes a complete documentation review and framework gap analysis.
Bronze
The right starting point for organizations building their first security program or preparing for a cyber insurance application.
Silver
Adds stakeholder interviews, NIST CSF mapping, and M365 Secure Score for organizations with active compliance requirements.
Gold
Adds third-party risk evaluation, a 90-day roadmap, and GRC platform implementation for complex environments.
Penetration testing
We use ethical hacking methods to show you exactly how your vulnerabilities could be exploited.
Pen testing can be added to an assessment or performed separately.

Frequently asked questions about security assessments
A cybersecurity assessment is one of the most valuable steps an organization can take — and one of the most misunderstood. Here's what you need to know before getting started.
We gather information through stakeholder interviews, documentation review, and technical evaluation of your environment. Findings are analyzed against recognized security frameworks and presented back to your team with specific recommendations and a prioritized remediation roadmap.
A cybersecurity assessment focuses specifically on your security posture — policies, configurations, framework alignment, and compliance readiness.
A technology assessment takes a broader view of your entire IT environment, including infrastructure, systems, and applications. The two are often used together to get a more comprehensive picture of what's working well and what should change.
We work within NIST CSF, CIS Controls, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
Yes. Cyber insurance applications increasingly require documented evidence of security controls, framework alignment, and risk management processes.
A cybersecurity assessment will produce exactly that — and position you to answer underwriter questions with confidence.
A cybersecurity assessment evaluates your security program — policies, configurations, and framework alignment — to identify gaps.
Penetration testing goes further, using ethical hacking methods to demonstrate how those gaps could actually be exploited. The two are complementary, with the assessment typically serving as the foundation.
We recommend getting an assessment annually.
A five-year roadmap follows every assessment, but some organizations will get their environment re-assessed whenever there's a significant change — new leadership, a merger or acquisition, a major infrastructure change, or an upcoming compliance review.
Threat landscapes also evolve, and a program that offered excellent protection four years ago may have meaningful gaps today.
Our assessments can be scoped to specific frameworks. Available paths include HIPAA, FTC Safeguards / GLBA, CIS Controls v8, NIST CSF / CSF 2.0, and ISO 27001:2022.
