Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Report
Discover hidden vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, and IT infrastructure weaknesses before they become costly breaches. Petronella Technology Group provides Raleigh-Durham and Triangle NC businesses with a comprehensive, no-obligation cybersecurity and IT assessment report that reveals exactly where your organization stands and what steps you need to take to protect your data, reputation, and bottom line.
Most Businesses Do Not Know How Vulnerable They Really Are
The average cost of a data breach in the United States now exceeds four million dollars, and small-to-mid-sized businesses are disproportionately targeted because attackers know they typically have weaker defenses and fewer resources to detect intrusions. Yet the vast majority of business owners and executives across the Raleigh-Durham area operate under the dangerous assumption that their existing IT setup is sufficient to protect them from modern cyber threats. That assumption is almost always wrong.
Ransomware attacks are increasing in both frequency and sophistication. Phishing campaigns have become indistinguishable from legitimate communications. Cloud misconfigurations expose sensitive data to the public internet without anyone noticing for months. Outdated firewalls, unpatched operating systems, weak password policies, and the absence of multi-factor authentication create compounding vulnerabilities that threat actors actively scan for and exploit with automated tools on a daily basis. Compliance frameworks like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, SOC 2, and state-level data privacy regulations continue to expand their requirements, and non-compliance penalties can be devastating.
The problem is not a lack of awareness that cybersecurity matters. The problem is that most businesses in the Triangle region do not have an objective, expert-driven assessment of their actual risk posture. They are making security decisions based on assumptions rather than data, and that approach leaves critical blind spots that attackers are designed to find. You cannot fix what you cannot see, and our free report is designed to give you complete visibility into the security and IT vulnerabilities that could put your entire organization at risk.
A Comprehensive Assessment Built on 22 Years of Security Expertise
Petronella Technology Group's free cybersecurity and IT assessment report is not a generic checklist pulled from a template. It is a structured evaluation methodology developed over more than two decades of protecting businesses across the Triangle region and refined through our experience serving over 2,500 companies with a track record of zero security breaches among clients following our security program. Our assessment framework draws from industry-standard frameworks including NIST Cybersecurity Framework, CIS Controls, and ISO 27001 to ensure comprehensive coverage of your security posture.
The assessment examines your organization across multiple critical dimensions. We evaluate your network architecture and perimeter security, endpoint protection and patch management status, identity and access management practices, data backup and disaster recovery readiness, email security and phishing resilience, cloud infrastructure configuration, compliance alignment with applicable regulatory frameworks, and employee cybersecurity awareness levels. Each dimension is scored and benchmarked against industry standards so you can see exactly where you stand relative to best practices and peer organizations in your sector.
The resulting report provides a clear, prioritized roadmap of remediation actions ranked by risk severity and implementation complexity. We do not just identify problems; we provide actionable guidance on how to fix them, including estimated timelines, resource requirements, and the business impact of leaving each vulnerability unaddressed. This report becomes a strategic planning tool that you can use regardless of whether you engage PTG for ongoing services or choose to address the findings with your internal team or another provider.
Our goal is to empower you with knowledge. We believe that every business in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and the Research Triangle Park deserves to understand their true cybersecurity risk posture without having to commit to a paid engagement to get that clarity. The report is genuinely free, genuinely comprehensive, and genuinely yours to keep and act on however you see fit. There is no sales pitch embedded in the assessment, no artificial urgency, and no hidden agenda. We are confident enough in the quality of our work that the report speaks for itself.
Inside Your Free Assessment Report
Every report is customized to your business size, industry, and regulatory environment. Here is what your comprehensive assessment covers in detail.
Network Security Evaluation
A thorough analysis of your network infrastructure including firewall configuration review, intrusion detection and prevention system status, network segmentation assessment, wireless network security evaluation, and VPN configuration analysis. We identify open ports, misconfigured access rules, unprotected network segments, and potential lateral movement paths that an attacker could exploit after gaining initial access. The evaluation also includes a review of your network monitoring capabilities to determine whether you would detect an intrusion in progress or only discover it after significant damage has occurred. This section provides specific recommendations for hardening your perimeter defenses and internal network controls.
Compliance Gap Analysis
A detailed mapping of your current security controls against the compliance frameworks relevant to your industry and business operations. Whether you need to comply with HIPAA for healthcare data, PCI-DSS for payment card processing, CMMC for Department of Defense contracts, SOC 2 for SaaS operations, or North Carolina state data privacy regulations, our gap analysis identifies every area where your current practices fall short of regulatory requirements. Each gap is documented with the specific regulation section, the current state of your controls, the required state for compliance, and a prioritized remediation plan with realistic timelines. This analysis can save you thousands of dollars in potential compliance penalties and audit preparation costs.
Endpoint & Device Security Review
A comprehensive review of your endpoint protection strategy including the status of antivirus and anti-malware solutions, endpoint detection and response capabilities, operating system and application patch management, mobile device management policies, and USB and removable media controls. We assess whether your endpoint protection is actually functioning as intended, identify devices with outdated security software or missing critical patches, evaluate your bring-your-own-device policies, and determine whether your organization has adequate visibility into all endpoints connecting to your network. This section is critical because endpoints are the most common initial attack vector for ransomware and data exfiltration campaigns targeting businesses in the Raleigh-Durham corridor.
Data Backup & Disaster Recovery Assessment
An evaluation of your data backup infrastructure, disaster recovery plans, and business continuity preparedness. We examine your backup frequency, retention policies, storage locations, encryption practices, and most critically, whether your backups have been tested with a successful restore within the past quarter. Many Triangle NC businesses believe they have adequate backups until they need to recover from a ransomware attack or hardware failure and discover that their backups are corrupted, incomplete, or inaccessible. Our assessment identifies gaps in your backup strategy, calculates your actual recovery time objective and recovery point objective, and provides recommendations for building a resilient disaster recovery capability that can withstand the most common failure scenarios.
Email & Phishing Resilience Test
An assessment of your email security infrastructure and organizational resilience to phishing attacks, which remain the number one attack vector for cybercriminals targeting businesses of all sizes. We review your email gateway security configuration, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication records, spam and malware filtering effectiveness, and email encryption capabilities. The assessment also evaluates your employee awareness training program and provides baseline metrics on your organization's susceptibility to social engineering attacks. With business email compromise losses exceeding two billion dollars annually, understanding your email security posture is essential for protecting your organization's financial assets and sensitive data from sophisticated phishing campaigns.
Executive Risk Summary & Roadmap
A clear, non-technical executive summary that translates the technical findings into business risk language that leadership teams and board members can understand and act upon. The summary includes an overall risk score, a heat map of critical vulnerabilities ranked by business impact, estimated financial exposure from the identified risks, and a phased remediation roadmap with quick wins, medium-term improvements, and strategic security investments. This executive summary is designed to facilitate informed decision-making about cybersecurity budget allocation and risk management priorities, ensuring that your leadership team has the clarity they need to protect the organization effectively and allocate resources where they will have the greatest impact on reducing overall risk.
