Cybersecurity Assessments — Find Your Gaps Before Attackers Do
You can't protect what you don't understand. A cybersecurity assessment gives you a clear, prioritized view of where your business is exposed — and exactly what to do about it. Brivy IT runs real assessments, not checkbox audits.
Most small and midsize businesses have never had a real cybersecurity assessment. They’ve had a vendor run a quick scan, generate a 40-page PDF full of color-coded charts, and walk away. The PDF sits in a drawer. Nothing changes.
A real assessment goes deeper. It maps your actual environment — devices, accounts, network topology, cloud services, third-party integrations — and tests it against real attack patterns. Not theoretical risks from a generic checklist, but the specific vulnerabilities that exist in your specific setup.
What a Brivy IT Assessment Covers
Our assessments are structured around three layers: external exposure, internal vulnerabilities, and operational gaps.
External Vulnerability Scan
We scan your public-facing infrastructure — websites, email servers, VPNs, cloud portals — for known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed services.
Internal Network Assessment
Inside your network, we map devices, check patch levels, test segmentation, audit Active Directory, and identify lateral movement paths.
Cloud & SaaS Review
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, cloud storage, and SaaS applications — configurations, access controls, MFA status, and sharing permissions.
Endpoint Security Audit
Verify EDR deployment, patch compliance, encryption status, and local admin access across every machine.
Phishing & Social Engineering
Optional simulated phishing campaigns that test how your team responds to realistic attack scenarios.
Compliance Gap Analysis
Map your current state against HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, or SOC 2 frameworks and identify what's missing.
We assessed a 40-person professional services firm that believed they were well-protected. They had antivirus on every machine and a firewall at the edge. What we found: 14 machines running Windows versions past end-of-life, a domain admin account with no MFA, three ex-employees still with active Microsoft 365 accounts, and a NAS device exposed to the internet with default credentials. The antivirus wouldn’t have stopped any of these issues.
How the Assessment Works
Step 1: Discovery & Scoping — We start by understanding your business, compliance requirements, and concerns. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all scan.
Step 2: Technical Assessment — Automated vulnerability scans and manual testing across your environment. External and internal. Cloud and on-premise. Typically 3–5 business days.
Step 3: Analysis & Prioritization — Findings ranked by actual risk to your business, not just CVSS score. A prioritized remediation roadmap you can actually follow.
Step 4: Review & Remediation Planning — We walk through every finding in plain language and help you build a realistic plan. If you want us to handle remediation, we can do that too.
