Cybersecurity Assessment

Understand what you have, where your real risks are, and what to fix first.

 

We start with a simple question:


What systems, devices, and data do you actually have, and how are they being used today?


Our assessment looks at the everyday things that cause real security problems when they’re overlooked, such as:

  • Devices and systems that aren’t being tracked or monitored
  • Software, accounts, or cloud services added without visibility
  • Gaps in basic protections like updates, access controls, and logging
  • Areas where people are doing the right thing—but tools and processes aren’t supporting them


We don’t look for perfection.
We look for blind spots, practical risks, and easy wins that reduce exposure quickly.

At the end of the assessment, you’ll know:

  • What you have
  • What’s at risk
  • What actually needs attention first

Why WE USE THE CIS Controls to ASSESS organizations

Turn chaos into a plan

Reduce risk where it actually matters

Turn chaos into a plan

 No guessing what to fix first.


The CIS Controls provide a clear, logical way to organize security work, so it doesn’t feel overwhelming or random. Instead of reacting to every new threat, you get a structured path forward.


  • Clear priorities — what to address first, and why
     
  • Easy to explain to leadership and stakeholders
     
  • Progress you can track and measure over time

Support audits

Reduce risk where it actually matters

Turn chaos into a plan

 It creates evidence, not excuses.


Auditors don’t just want assurances, they want proof. The CIS Controls help you build repeatable, defensible practices you can demonstrate when asked.


  • Documented policies and expectations
     
  • Consistent, repeatable security processes
     
  • Evidence you can provide on demand

Align With What Cyber Insurance Looks For

 Focus on what attackers really take advantage of.


The CIS Controls emphasize high-impact actions that prevent the most common and costly security incidents, not theoretical edge cases.


  • Knowing what devices and software exist in your environment
     
  • Making sure systems are configured securely by default
     
  • Controlling access and using MFA where it matters most

This is why insurers ask these questions.


Cyber insurance providers increasingly expect organizations to follow widely accepted security basics. The CIS Controls align closely with the safeguards insurers evaluate during underwriting and renewal.


  • Clear visibility into systems and assets
     
  • Access controls and MFA in place
     
  • Documented processes that reduce claims risk

Make Security Easier to Manage Over Time

Align With What Cyber Insurance Looks For

Make Security Easier to Manage Over Time

 

You build consistency, not one-off fixes.


The CIS Controls help organizations move away from reactive, one-time security efforts and toward repeatable practices that improve year over year.


  • Fewer surprises and emergency fixes
     
  • Easier onboarding for new staff
     
  • Security that improves instead of erodes

Create a Common Language Across Teams

Align With What Cyber Insurance Looks For

Make Security Easier to Manage Over Time

 

Everyone understands what “good” looks like.


One of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity is communication. The CIS Controls provide a shared reference point that works across technical and non-technical teams.


  • Easier conversations between IT and leadership
     
  • Clear expectations instead of assumptions
     
  • Better alignment between security, operations, and business goals

Help is a click away
