Overview
A clear picture of your security posture

Discovery & scoping
We inventory key systems, data flows, identities, and third-party access to define what needs to be assessed and what “good” looks like for your organization.
Technical review
We evaluate endpoint and server security, patching, MFA, email security, backups, and network controls to identify exploitable weaknesses and risky configurations.
Policy & process review
We review security policies, onboarding/offboarding, access management, incident response readiness, and user awareness practices to reduce human-factor risk.

Cybersecurity Risk Assessment FAQs
Common questions about scope, timing, and deliverables.
How long does an assessment take?
Most SMB assessments take 1–2 weeks depending on environment size, access requirements, and the depth of review.
Will this disrupt our users?
No—our process is designed to be low-impact. We schedule any access needs and avoid changes without approval.
What do we receive at the end?
A prioritized findings report, recommended remediation steps, and a practical roadmap aligned to your business priorities.
Do you include vulnerability scanning?
Where appropriate, we include safe, targeted checks to identify common weaknesses and misconfigurations.
Can you help implement the fixes?
Yes—Scale IT Solutions can remediate findings, improve controls, and provide ongoing managed security support.
Is this the same as penetration testing?
Not exactly. A risk assessment evaluates overall posture and control gaps; penetration testing focuses on actively exploiting weaknesses. Many clients do both.
