Security Posture Assessment

Understanding Your Cybersecurity Readiness

There are two main areas we focus on during a Security Posture Assessment. First, we evaluate the technical security configuration of your systems, devices, and networks. Second, we review your internal cybersecurity practices to ensure your people, policies, and workflows support a secure environment. Both areas are essential for protecting sensitive data, meeting compliance requirements, and minimizing the risk of costly breaches. The assessment provides a clear picture of your current security health and a prioritized roadmap to strengthen your defenses moving forward.

Cybersecurity Advisory Frequently Asked Question

We provide a full range of cybersecurity solutions, including endpoint device management, foundational IT security setup, identity and conditional access controls, network perimeter enforcement, ongoing maintenance and monitoring, fractional CTO advisory, and one-time security posture assessments.

Our Security Posture Assessment is a one-time evaluation that reviews your Microsoft 365 settings, endpoint protections, access controls, VPN configuration, and internal data handling practices. You’ll receive an executive summary report with prioritized recommendations to strengthen your firm’s cybersecurity.

It gives you a clear picture of your current cybersecurity strengths and weaknesses, along with a practical, prioritized roadmap for improvement. It’s ideal if you’re preparing for growth, responding to client requirements, or simply want peace of mind that your protections are effective.

Our endpoint service enrolls and manages all company laptops, desktops, and supported mobile devices through Microsoft Intune. We remove local admin rights, block unauthorized software, enforce encryption, and deploy EDR tools—helping prevent breaches and ensuring consistent device-level protection.

This one-time setup secures Microsoft 365, company devices, and remote access. It includes MFA and conditional access policies, EDR deployment, VPN/firewall configuration, and user guidance—creating a strong baseline security posture in weeks.

Our Fractional CTO service delivers strategic IT leadership without the full-time cost. You’ll get monthly CTO check-ins, quarterly cybersecurity training, vendor management, IT policy development, and advisory support for complex technical issues—ensuring technology aligns with your business goals.

These controls restrict access to sensitive systems based on factors like user role, device compliance, and location. They reduce the risk of unauthorized access, enforce least-privilege permissions, and improve compliance with security regulations.

We set up enterprise-grade VPN infrastructure, deploy it to endpoints, and enforce IP-based access restrictions. This ensures secure, encrypted network traffic for remote staff and keeps sensitive data protected from network-based threats.

Cyber threats evolve daily. Our monitoring service keeps systems patched, tracks endpoint and identity health, detects threats in real-time, and delivers executive-level reports—ensuring you’re always protected and audit-ready.

Yes. Through our Fractional CTO and advisory services, we offer annual cybersecurity training with certification tracking, quarterly Q&A sessions, and ongoing awareness programs to build a security-first culture in your organization.
