What is a cyber security assessment?
A cyber security assessment is a structured review of your technology, policies and processes against common threats and good-practice standards. It identifies where you are vulnerable, how serious each gap is, and what to do about it - giving you a clear picture of your overall security posture.
What's the difference between an assessment and a penetration test?
An assessment takes a broad view of your security - technology, policies, processes and people - and how they work together. A penetration test is a focused, hands-on attempt to exploit specific systems. Many businesses use an assessment to understand their overall risk, then a penetration test to prove specific defences.
What's included in a free cyber security health check?
Our engineers review your current network protection, identify vulnerabilities and gaps against common threats such as phishing and ransomware, and give you a clear, actionable report - with no obligation to proceed.
How long does a security assessment take?
It depends on the size and complexity of your business, but most assessments are completed within a few days to a couple of weeks. We agree the scope and timescale with you up front so there are no surprises.
Will an assessment help with compliance?
Yes. An assessment highlights where your practices meet - or fall short of - requirements such as UK GDPR and standards like Cyber Essentials, and gives you a documented plan to close the gaps, which helps demonstrate due diligence to regulators, insurers and clients.
