Cyber Security Assessments & Safeguards

- Findings reported with clear remediation guidance
- Honest about what is and is not in scope
- Can bundle with ongoing monitoring

How an Assessment Runs
Assess
We review your website or system for configuration weaknesses, access issues, and common vulnerability classes.
Report
Findings are reported in plain language, ranked by real-world risk, with clear remediation guidance for each one.
Fix
We can implement the recommended fixes directly as a follow-up task, or hand the report to your own team.
Monitor
Ongoing monitoring can be added afterward so new issues are caught early rather than discovered by an incident.
Cyber Security Questions
Is this the same as a full penetration test?
No. This is an assessment and hardening service — configuration review, vulnerability scanning, and access control audits. If you need formal manual penetration testing for a compliance certification, we will tell you plainly and refer you to a specialist firm for that specific work.
What happens if you find a vulnerability?
We report it in plain language with remediation guidance attached, so you know exactly what it is and why it matters. From there we can implement the fix as a follow-up task, or hand the report to your own developer or IT team.
Do you offer ongoing monitoring?
Yes — ongoing security monitoring can be bundled with Website Care & Maintenance so new issues are flagged as part of your regular monthly service.
Do I need to give you admin access?
For a configuration and access control review, yes, some level of administrative access is usually needed. We scope exactly what access is required in writing before anything begins.
Can you help if I think I have already been breached?
Yes — incident response support is part of this service. Get in touch and describe what you are seeing so we can help investigate and contain the issue.
