A cybersecurity assessment should not hand you a giant list of red warnings and wish you luck. It should show what matters, why it matters, and what to address first. A review can cover accounts, devices, email, network security, backups, vulnerabilities, and response readiness, then organize findings into a practical roadmap your leadership team can understand and prioritize. Explore the assessment process, then schedule a conversation about your current concerns.
When to assess
Signs it is time for a cybersecurity assessment
You don't need to be in a crisis. These are common reasons owners ask for one.
01
An insurance questionnaire you can't answer
Insurers ask about multi-factor authentication, backups, and endpoint protection, and you aren't sure what is in place.
02
You're not sure what's covered
No one can show you which protections are on, which are missing, and who is responsible for them.
03
The business has grown or changed
New staff, offices, or cloud apps were added without anyone reviewing security.
04
Clients are asking questions
Customers or partners want to know how you protect their information.
What we review

Know the difference
Free assessment, cybersecurity assessment, or penetration test?
Our free IT assessment is five short questions with plain-English recommendations; nothing is scanned. This cybersecurity assessment is a paid, hands-on review with a vulnerability scan, a written report, and a roadmap. A penetration test goes further and simulates an attack to see what an attacker could actually do. If you aren't sure which you need, ask us and we'll help you decide.

Questions
Cybersecurity assessment: Los Angeles FAQs
Have a question that isn't here? Call 310.331.8119 or schedule a free consultation.
What does the assessment cover?
Interviews and a review of Microsoft 365, email, computers, firewall, backups, and user accounts; a vulnerability scan; a review of access, offboarding, incident readiness, and vendor access; and a comparison with typical cyber-insurance and HIPAA-style requirements.
Is this a penetration test?
No. A penetration test simulates an attack. The assessment reviews your settings and practices and includes a vulnerability scan. If you need one, see penetration testing.
Will you scan our systems?
Yes. A vulnerability scan of your computers and network is part of the assessment, and we confirm with you what will be scanned.
What do we receive at the end?
A written findings report ranked by business risk, a prioritized roadmap, a review meeting with your leadership, and, if you want, a quote to fix the findings. For ongoing planning after the assessment, see our vCIO services.
Can it help with cyber insurance or compliance?
It compares your controls with typical cyber-insurance questionnaires and HIPAA-style requirements, so you know where the gaps are. It is not a compliance certification, and your insurer decides coverage. For help with an application or renewal, see cyber insurance readiness.
How much does a cybersecurity assessment cost?
It depends on the number of users, devices, and locations, the systems in scope, and which option you choose. You receive a quote based on your environment.
