Cybersecurity consulting
Most small organizations don’t need more security jargon. They need to know where they’re exposed and what to fix first. We review the everyday controls that protect your accounts and computers, document what we find, and help you decide on practical next steps. This is a scoped consulting service. It does not include continuous monitoring or incident response.
What’s included
Every engagement is scoped to your situation. Depending on what you need, this can include:
- Account access: who can sign in to what, and whether old accounts are still active.
- Multifactor authentication coverage across your business accounts.
- Administrator privileges on accounts and computers.
- Firewall settings, reviewed with your team.
- Endpoint security settings on business computers.
How an engagement works
Agree on the scope
We decide together which accounts, systems, and locations the review covers.
Review the controls
We review access, multifactor authentication, administrator privileges, firewall, and endpoint settings within that scope.
Document and prioritize
You receive written findings, with recommendations in order of priority.
Decide what to change
You choose which changes to make. Implementation is agreed separately before we begin.
Clear about scope
You’ll know what you’re getting, and what would need a separate conversation, before any work begins.
What you receive
- Written findings for each area we reviewed.
- Recommendations in plain language, ordered by priority.
- Notes on what was outside the review’s scope.
Agreed separately or not included
- Implementing recommended changes, which we agree on before work begins.
- Penetration testing, compliance audits, and formal certifications, which are not part of our current services.
- Continuous monitoring and incident response, which we do not currently offer.
Questions
Will a review guarantee we won’t be breached?
No review can guarantee that. The goal is to find and close the most likely gaps first, so your organization is harder to compromise and better prepared.
Is this a compliance audit?
No. It’s a practical review of everyday security controls. It can help you prepare for conversations about security requirements, but it isn’t a certification or a formal audit.
Do you need our passwords?
No. We work with the person who administers your systems and agree on how we’ll access settings before the review begins.
Can you make the changes for us?
Yes, if you’d like. We agree with you on which changes to make and when before we make them.
