Cyber Security Assessment Know Your Risk Before Attackers Do
A cyber security assessment reveals the vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps hiding in your IT environment. Petronella's CMMC-RP certified team conducts thorough assessments aligned with NIST, ISO 27001, and CMMC frameworks -- giving you a clear picture of your security posture and a prioritized roadmap to fix it.
What Is a Cyber Security Assessment?
A cyber security assessment is a systematic evaluation of your organization's security controls, policies, and infrastructure. It identifies where you are vulnerable, measures your risk exposure, and produces a clear plan to strengthen your defenses.
What a Cyber Security Assessment Covers
- Network infrastructure: firewalls, routers, switches, VPNs, and segmentation
- Endpoint security: workstations, servers, mobile devices, and IoT
- Cloud security: Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and Google Workspace configurations
- Identity and access management: MFA, password policies, privileged accounts
- Security policies and procedures: incident response, acceptable use, data handling
What You Receive
- Executive risk summary with business-impact analysis for leadership
- Detailed technical findings with risk-rated vulnerabilities (Critical/High/Med/Low)
- Compliance gap analysis mapped to your specific frameworks (CMMC, HIPAA, SOC 2)
- Prioritized 90-day remediation roadmap with cost estimates and quick wins
- Risk register documenting all identified threats with likelihood and impact scores
