Risk Assessments

Find IT security weaknesses before cybercriminals do!

Cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities aren’t going away – and most are invisible until you get a ransom demand or see your data for sale on the dark web. But tailored risk assessments deliver the insights needed to understand cyber threats and provides solutions that reduce them.

There’s no limit on how much you can spend on cybersecurity, or the number of companies trying to sell you stuff you don’t necessarily need. A security risk assessment helps you make the best business decision. Our accurate, customized recommendations allow you to direct your IT security budget where it’s needed to address and prioritize what your organization truly needs.

Experience matters – our process

PCG has been providing IT business services for 25+ years and we have a deep understanding of the everyday challenges you face, including limited time and limited budgets.

We develop a tailored security plan that will protect your critical assets while being realistic in its demands on your team – and your wallet.

Our risk assessment framework gives businesses of all sizes a mix of security practices that fits their specific threats, vulnerabilities, and risk tolerance. Assessments are based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and organized into five functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.

The assessment looks at every area of your business and how it can be improved. Here’s what you get:

  • IT system review – assesses internal and external IT environment to uncover and rank technical and business risks you’re exposed to
  • Best practice evaluation – a full audit of your compliance with security best practices for your business profile
  • Vulnerability scan – in-depth scans of IT infrastructure to examine vulnerability level and detect potential weaknesses
  • Gap analysis – Analyze the strengths and weaknesses in your IT systems and determine how to close gaps to achieve an ideal state of total security
  • Remediation recommendations – Prioritized to address vulnerabilities in systems and practices, and implement appropriate tools and policies
  • Customized report  that includes:
    • Your current security standing by score/weight
    • Compliance details based on best practices
    • Heat maps illustrating how you stack up to similar businesses (size/industry/geography)
    • A roadmap and budget to guide the cyber risk remediation process

Benefits of a Cybersecurity Risk Assessment

  • Keep business running – A cyberattack can happen anytime. It can bring your business to a halt, and many never recover. A risk assessment is a proactive tool to help you prevent malicious attacks before they occur
  • Provide privacy for employees & partners – Protect your confidential data and information. Your team and customers depend on you!
  • Protect your reputation – When your security is breached and data gets leaked, people will find out. Once you lose their trust, it’s practically impossible to regain
  • Prioritize your investment – You know you need to invest in cybersecurity, but you also need to know which investments have the biggest payoff
  • Build a plan of action – Good security takes time, not just money. Prioritize your time investments with a proactive, long-term plan
  • Better understanding of risks – You can’t prepare for business risks if you don’t understand them. And cybersecurity is one of the biggest business risks there is!
  • Identify vulnerabilities – If a malicious third-party wants to attack you, where would they start? We’ll help you find your weaknesses and close the gaps so that you’re always one step ahead
  • Prepare for compliance requirements – In most industries, cybersecurity is not a choice but a requirement. Compliance may also be a prerequisite to qualify for certain contract
  • Comply with legal requirements – Failing to protect private information doesn’t just harm your reputation, but may put you in legal jeopardy too
  • Understand IT jargon & acronyms – Cybersecurity is laced with technical terminology that makes it hard for non-specialists to navigate. We can help here!
  • Reduce cyber insurance premiums – Every business should carry insurance, and a risk assessment can help you qualify for lower premiums
