Find and fix security weaknesses in your IT setup before they’re exploited by cyber criminals.
Every organization faces Cyber Security risks and vulnerabilities on a daily basis – many completely invisible until you receive a ransom demand or learn that your data is for sale on the dark web. A tailored risk assessment will give you the insights you need to understand the threats you face and how you can overcome them with the right security measures that are relevant to your business.
With no limit to how much you can spend on cyber security, and plenty of people ready to sell you stuff you don’t necessarily need, a security risk assessment is an essential tool to help you make the best decisions for your business. PCG provides full, accurate risk assessments and customized recommendations that allow you to direct your security investment to where it’s needed – and where it makes the most sense for your unique requirements and priorities.

The results of our assessment will be documented in a customized report. In addition to detailing your compliance with best practices, the report will score and weigh your current security standing. We will include a heat map that shows how you stack up compared to other businesses in your industry sector, of your size, and in your geography. We will also provide you with a roadmap and budget to guide you through the process of remediating your risks.
Our Business Risk Assessment Process
PCG’s Security Risk Assessment is founded squarely on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). This framework gives businesses of all sizes a structure to determine the appropriate mix of security practices to fit their specific threats, vulnerabilities and risk tolerances.
The framework is organized into five functions of Cyber Security: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover.

Key Benefits of a PCG Cyber Security Risk Assessment
There are many benefits of a Security Risk Assessment from PCG, including but not limited to:
- Keep your business running – A cyber-attack 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.
- Privacy for your employees and 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 cyber security, 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 cyber security is one of the biggest business risks there is!
- Identify your 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 – For a growing number of industries, cyber security is no longer a choice but a requirement. Compliance may be a prerequisite to qualify for contracts.
- 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 and acronyms – Cyber security 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.
