Network Security Assessment Guide

Score your security posture across the domains that matter most for mid-market businesses, and walk away with a ranked list of what to fix first.

What this is

A structured self-assessment you can run in one sitting. For each question you mark Yes, Partial, or No. Yes means fully in place. Partial means somebody started it. No means it is a gap.

Use the results to prioritize remediation and to have an informed conversation with whoever advises you on security - us or anyone else.

What is inside

The assessment walks the domains where mid-market gaps actually appear.

Three questions that catch most companies

If you only answer three, make it these.

01

Is MFA enforced on email, VPN, and cloud apps?

MFA is the first thing every cyber-insurance questionnaire asks about, and the control most often missing. The widely quoted 99.9% figure comes from a 2019 Microsoft post about automated attacks and is disputed - but the underlying point holds. If MFA is not enforced on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or VPN access, one phished password reaches everything.

02

Has firewall firmware been updated in the last 90 days?

Unpatched firewall firmware is one of the most common ways in. Vendors release security patches regularly, and outdated firmware leaves known holes on your perimeter.

03

Is there a formal offboarding process?

Former employee accounts left active are a persistent gap. Immediate credential revocation across email, VPN, cloud apps, and network belongs on a written checklist.

How to use your score

1

Answer honestly

Partial is not a failing grade. It is the most useful answer in the whole assessment, because it tells you where work already started and stalled.

2

Sort by risk flag

Fix the High Risk gaps first regardless of how easy the Medium Risk ones look. Effort follows exposure.

3

Bring it to your renewal

Take the completed assessment into your next cyber insurance renewal or MSP review. It changes the conversation from opinions to a list.

Request a security assessment

We review where you stand against what your auditors and cyber-insurer actually ask for, then tell you which gaps matter most. No fear-selling.

We work under NDA on request. We do not sell or share your details, and there is no advisory fee - ever.
