Security Risk Assessments

Security questionnaires from insurers and customers keep getting longer and more technical. We help you answer them accurately and close the gaps they reveal.

We assess your controls against a recognized framework and give you a plain reading of the results. Instead of a percentage score, you get a control-by-control list of what's in place and what isn't, with the reasoning attached.

Then we help you answer the questionnaire accurately. Where the true answer is no, we'd sooner fix the gap than help you word around it, because an inaccurate answer on a cyber policy can surface when you file a claim. Our post on what your cyber insurance application is really asking covers the questions insurers ask most.

You also get a prioritized plan. Not every gap matters equally, and spending first on the wrong thing is the most common way this budget gets wasted.

The gaps are often basic. In The Firewall That Was Never Plugged In, a local government had answered yes to the firewall question for years without knowing the device had never been connected. Assessments are part of our compliance services, and regulated businesses can take the work further with CMMC readiness or HIPAA compliance.

  • A plain-language report your leadership can read.

In their words

Questions About Security Risk Assessments

Is this the same as a penetration test?

No. A penetration test tries to break in and reports specific weaknesses. An assessment checks whether your controls and processes hold up as a whole. Most companies get more value from the assessment first, because a test usually confirms what an assessment has already found.

Will you tell us things we don't want to hear?

Yes. That's what you're paying for. A report that says everything is fine is worth nothing to you or to the customer asking.

Part of CMMC & HIPAA Compliance

CMMC and HIPAA readiness with evidence you can hand an auditor, and a plain assessment of where you stand before anyone asks.
