When it comes to cyberthreats, the “enemy” is continually looking for opportunities to exploit vulnerabilities, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, to protect everything, all the time.

61% of surveyed SMBs are targeted by cyberattacks.

To mitigate this ever-changing threat environment, it is important that you know where your risks really are and focus resources on continually eliminating the biggest threats.

You need to know that you:

• Have the proper tools in place to mitigate any risk of fraud or other crime?
• Can you fully protect your assets and resources, including your data, website, financial data, intellectual property, and email?
• Can you meet your business sector's regulations and overcome its specific vulnerabilities?

If you cannot answer these questions with a confident “yes,” then you need a vulnerability assessment to learn how severe your risk is.

When it comes to your business' security, it is important to stay proactive rather than reactive. If your organization must comply with security standards like HIPAA, SOX, and/or PCI DSS, a vulnerability assessment is more than a solid first step—it’s a necessary step, mandated by these security standards.

You can’t protect your systems if you don’t know what risks you face.
A cybersecurity vulnerability assessment is essential for discovering your risks and defining appropriate mitigation strategies that fit your company’s specific needs. 

What’s included in the Assessment Process?

The assessment process takes time to complete as it depends on the size and complexity of your network. The assessment process is broken down into several phases to achieve the goal of understanding your company's vulnerabilities to risk, identifying areas to improve upon, and providing best practices for the security controls within your infrastructure.

1. Identification
   We will use our security scanning and other tools to identify external and external vulnerabilities.
2. Analyze
   We’ll look for holes in your detection and prevention policies and practices that could lead to a breach.
3. Report
   We will provide and review a summary of all our findings and recommendations for your use, whether or not you work with us in the future.

Cybersecurity is not one-and-done.

Protecting your business is an ongoing process. With the ever-evolving threats cybercriminals pose it is important to maintain a risk management program to monitor your IT environment for new threats continuously.
