A comprehensive look at your security.
Most small businesses have never had an outside team look at their security as a whole. Verizon's 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report found ransomware in 88 percent of breaches at smaller organizations, and those attacks usually start with gaps that a proper assessment brings to light.
Where you are exposed
The weaknesses an attacker would look for first, viewed the way they would see them.
How well you are protected
Whether the protections you rely on are actually in place, configured well and watched by someone.
What to fix first
Findings ranked by risk, so time and money go to the gaps that matter most.
Four steps from call to results.
Scoping call
We learn about your business, your systems and any regulations or insurance requirements you answer to.
Comprehensive security assessment
Our team assesses your environment with the access you choose to grant.
Findings ranked by risk
Each finding is rated by how likely it is to be exploited and how much it would hurt your business.
Walkthrough
We go through the results and the fixes that matter most, and you can share them with your IT provider.
Gaps that often turn up at small businesses.
Illustrative examples of common weaknesses and how they are typically fixed. Your results will differ.
| Common gap | Why it matters | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Some accounts without MFA | A stolen password is all an attacker needs | Enforce MFA with conditional access |
| No DMARC policy on the company domain | Criminals can send email that appears to come from you | Publish DMARC and move it to enforcement |
| Remote access exposed to the internet | A favorite entry point for ransomware crews | Close it or move it behind zero trust access |
| Antivirus only, nobody watching alerts | Attacks run unnoticed overnight and on weekends | EDR with 24/7/365 managed detection and response |
| Backups reachable from the main network | Ransomware encrypts the backups too | An offline or immutable copy, with restores tested |
The six areas every security program covers.
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, published in February 2024, is the common language regulators, insurers and auditors use to describe security. It groups the work into six functions.
| Function | What it means for a small business |
|---|---|
| Govern | Someone owns security decisions, with written policies and vendor oversight |
| Identify | You know your systems, where sensitive data lives and what is exposed |
| Protect | MFA, limited admin rights, email protection, patching and trained staff |
| Detect | Someone is watching for attacks, day and night |
| Respond | A plan, contacts and steps for when something goes wrong |
| Recover | Backups that attackers cannot reach and restores that have been tested |
If your score is high, start here.
Close the critical items first. Missing MFA, exposed remote access and unmonitored endpoints are among the most common ways attackers get in, and each is usually quick to fix.
Our managed security services address many common findings during onboarding: EDR with 24/7/365 managed detection and response from our SOC, SIEM monitoring, email security, zero trust access and staff training are all included in the Security plan at $100 per user per month. If a finding is in your IT provider's lane, we share it with them so they know what to change.
One assessment, several uses.
A current risk assessment also helps with the rules many Reno businesses answer to:
- HIPAA requires a security risk analysis that is kept current.
- The FTC Safeguards Rule requires a written risk assessment for CPAs, tax preparers, lenders and auto dealers.
- CMMC Level 2 self-assessments start with knowing which NIST SP 800-171 controls you meet.
- Cyber insurance questionnaires ask about MFA, EDR, backups and training, and the assessment helps you prepare your answers.
