Cybersecurity Assessment

Understand your real exposure to cyber threats across people, devices, networks and data, and know exactly where to invest first.

What's included
  • No obligation
  • Plain-English report
  • Response within one to two business days
Common gaps

Gaps we commonlyfind.

These are the issues we most often uncover in a Cybersecurity Assessment. If any of them sound familiar, an assessment will show how exposed you really are.

  • Systems and software are out of date

    Known vulnerabilities in operating systems, applications and network equipment can stay open for months, and attackers actively scan for them.

  • Logins rely on passwords alone

    Email, remote access and cloud apps without multi-factor authentication are one stolen or guessed password away from a breach.

  • Backups exist but haven't been tested

    Ransomware attackers go after backups first. Copies kept on the same network, or never restored in practice, often fail when they are needed most.

  • Nobody knows what to do in an incident

    With no response plan, staff don't know who to call or what to do first, and without awareness training they are the easiest way in.

Not sure which of these apply to you?

Book a no-obligation discovery call and we'll talk through your setup and whether an assessment makes sense.

What we assess

What welook at.

Good security starts with an honest picture of where you are. We assess your defences against recognised practice, including the Australian Cyber Security Centre's Essential Eight, and turn the findings into a plan that fits your size and budget.

  • 01

    Risk & asset visibility

    What systems, data and accounts you rely on, which matter most, and what an incident would cost you.

  • 02

    Network & endpoint defences

    Firewalls, patching, endpoint protection, remote access and how well devices are configured and kept up to date.

  • 03

    Access & data protection

    Passwords, multi-factor authentication, privileged access, encryption and who can reach sensitive information.

  • 04

    Backup & response readiness

    Whether backups can actually be restored, and whether your team knows what to do when something goes wrong.

How it works

How an assessmentworks.

Every assessment follows the same four steps, so you always know what is happening, what we need from you and what you will receive at the end.

  1. Step 01

    Scope

    We agree your goals, the systems in play and who we need to speak to.

  2. Step 02

    Assess

    Our engineers review your environment, using read-only access where possible, and talk to your team.

  3. Step 03

    Report

    Findings in plain English, ranked by risk and business impact.

  4. Step 04

    Roadmap

    A walkthrough and a prioritised plan, with optional help to put it into action.

FAQ

Questions weget asked.

Straight answers about the Cybersecurity Assessment. If yours isn't here, ask us on a discovery call.

What is a cybersecurity assessment?

It is an independent review of your defences across people, devices, networks, data and backups. You receive findings ranked by risk and a plan that shows where to invest first.

What is the Essential Eight?

The Essential Eight is a set of eight mitigation strategies published by the Australian Cyber Security Centre to help organisations defend against common cyber threats. We use it as one of the benchmarks for your assessment.

Is this a penetration test?

No. A cybersecurity assessment reviews your configuration, policies and practices to find gaps. It does not attempt to break into your systems, though it can show whether a penetration test would be worthwhile.

Will the assessment disrupt our business?

Very little. Most of the work is reviewing settings and documentation, and we only need a small amount of your team's time for a few conversations.
