What’s included in your Free Cyber Risk Assessment
In under an hour, we’ll give you a clear view of your cyber risk across the areas attackers target first – without digging through your configs or logs.
1. Light pre-assessment intake
A short questionnaire or 10–15 minute call so we understand your environment before we meet.
- Rough staff / Microsoft 365 user count
- Key systems & apps (cloud vs on-prem)
- Whether you handle sensitive or regulated data
- Current IT model (internal, MSP, or hybrid)
2. Live risk discovery session
(20–30 minutes)
A focused conversation with an experienced security consultant – via Teams/Zoom or in person.
- Identity & access: accounts, MFA, admin access
- Email & devices: phishing, AV/EDR, updates
- Backups & recovery: what’s backed up, where, and how tested
- Network & remote access: VPN, Wi-Fi basics, remote workers
- Policies, training & incident readiness at a high level

- Traffic-light or 1–5 risk score by key domain
- Top 5–7 risks explained in plain language

Common questions
Is this really free?
Yes. The Free Cyber Risk Assessment is a no-cost, no-obligation session. If you decide to move ahead with a full Cyber Security Audit afterwards, we’ll provide a clear, fixed-fee quote first.
Do you need access to our systems?
Not for the free assessment. It’s based on conversation and high-level information only – no scanning, no changes, and no disruption to your team.
We already have an IT provider. Is this still useful?
Absolutely. Most of our clients work with an MSP or internal IT. Think of this as a second set of eyes focused specifically on security. Many organizations use the findings to strengthen work with their existing provider.
What happens after the assessment?
You keep your risk snapshot and recommendations. If it makes sense, we’ll outline what a full Cyber Security Audit tailored to your organization would look like. You choose whether and when to proceed.
