Cybersecurity Assessment Know Your Risk Before Attackers Do
A comprehensive cybersecurity risk assessment covering your network, endpoints, cloud, and compliance posture. You get a prioritized risk register, executive summary, and a 90-day remediation roadmap. Delivered by CMMC Registered Practitioners with 23+ years of experience.
8 Deliverables in Every Assessment
Every assessment follows a structured methodology covering infrastructure, endpoints, cloud, and compliance. No shortcuts, no templates. Every finding is verified by a certified practitioner.
Network Security Audit
Complete firewall rule review, network segmentation analysis, and vulnerability scanning across your entire infrastructure. We map every entry point and identify misconfigurations that expose you to lateral movement attacks.
Endpoint Security Review
Antivirus and EDR coverage audit across all workstations and servers. We verify patch levels, review security configurations, check for unauthorized software, and confirm endpoint encryption status on every device.
Cloud Security Assessment
Configuration review of your AWS, Azure, or Microsoft 365 environment. We audit IAM policies, check for data exposure in storage buckets, review conditional access rules, and verify MFA enforcement across all admin accounts.
Compliance Gap Analysis
Readiness assessment against the frameworks that matter to your business: CMMC 2.0, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, or NIST 800-171. We identify exactly which controls you meet, which you partially meet, and which have gaps that need immediate attention.
Prioritized Risk Register
Every finding documented with severity rating, likelihood of exploitation, potential business impact, and recommended remediation. This is your single source of truth for security decision-making, organized from critical to informational.
Executive Summary Report
A board-ready document your leadership team can understand without technical expertise. Includes an overall risk score, visual risk heat map, top 5 critical findings, and clear business-impact language for each recommendation.
90-Day Remediation Roadmap
A phased action plan that tells you exactly what to fix, in what order, and what it will cost. Week-by-week milestones for the first 90 days, with estimated costs for each remediation item so you can budget accurately.
1-Hour Debrief Call
A live walkthrough of every finding with your team. We explain the risks in plain language, answer technical questions, and help you prioritize based on your specific business context, budget, and compliance timeline.
How the Assessment Works
From kickoff to delivery, the entire assessment takes 2 to 3 weeks. We work around your schedule with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Scoping
Initial call to map your environment, identify compliance requirements, and define the assessment scope. We tailor every engagement to your industry and risk profile.
Discovery
Automated scanning combined with manual review of your network, endpoints, cloud, and policies. We use the same tools and techniques real attackers use.
Analysis
Our CMMC-RP certified team reviews every finding, eliminates false positives, scores each risk by severity and likelihood, and builds your risk register.
Delivery
Executive summary, full risk register, 90-day remediation roadmap, and a 1-hour debrief call with your team. Everything you need to take action immediately.

Who Needs a Cybersecurity Assessment
If any of these situations apply to your business, a security assessment is the critical first step before making any other cybersecurity investment.
Assessment vs. Ongoing Security Services
The assessment is the starting point. Once you know your risks, you can decide whether to handle remediation in-house or engage us for ongoing security management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the $2,497 cybersecurity assessment include?
The assessment includes a network security audit, endpoint security review, cloud security assessment (AWS/Azure/M365), compliance gap analysis against your applicable frameworks, a prioritized risk register with severity scoring, an executive summary report, a 90-day remediation roadmap with cost estimates, and a 1-hour debrief call with your team. There are no hidden fees or upsells. The price covers everything listed.
How long does the assessment take?
The typical assessment takes 2 to 3 weeks from kickoff to delivery. Week one covers scoping and initial discovery. Week two focuses on automated scanning, manual review, and analysis. The final deliverables (risk register, executive summary, remediation roadmap) are delivered at the end of week two or early week three, followed by the debrief call at your convenience.
What if you find critical security issues during the assessment?
If we discover a critical vulnerability that poses an immediate risk (such as an actively exploited misconfiguration or exposed data), we notify you within 24 hours rather than waiting for the final report. We provide immediate mitigation steps you can take while we complete the full assessment. Your security does not wait for paperwork.
Do you also fix the issues you find?
The assessment identifies and prioritizes every issue. Remediation is a separate engagement priced based on the specific findings. Many clients handle low-risk items in-house using our remediation roadmap and engage us for the critical or complex items. We also offer virtual CISO services for ongoing security management and managed detection and response for 24/7 monitoring.
Which compliance frameworks do you assess against?
We assess against CMMC 2.0 (all levels), HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type II, NIST 800-171, NIST CSF, and state-level privacy regulations. During the scoping call, we identify which frameworks apply to your business based on your industry, clients, and contractual requirements. Our CMMC compliance guide provides additional detail on defense contractor requirements.
Will the assessment disrupt our daily operations?
No. We schedule scans during off-hours when possible and coordinate all testing windows with your team. The discovery phase requires about 2 hours of your IT contact's time for access setup and environment walkthrough. After that, we handle everything with minimal interaction until the debrief call.
Can we use the assessment for cyber insurance applications?
Yes. Our executive summary and risk register are formatted to meet the documentation requirements of major cyber insurance carriers. Many of our clients use the assessment deliverables directly in their insurance applications or renewals. The assessment demonstrates proactive risk management, which insurers reward with better coverage terms and lower premiums.
What makes your assessment different from a free security scan?
Free scans only check surface-level vulnerabilities using automated tools. Our assessment combines automated scanning with manual expert review by CMMC Registered Practitioners. We evaluate your entire security posture including policies, configurations, access controls, and compliance alignment. The deliverables include business-context risk scoring, executive-ready reporting, and a costed remediation plan. A free scan tells you something is wrong. Our assessment tells you what it means, how likely it is to be exploited, what the business impact would be, and exactly how to fix it.
