The assessment is complimentary and takes about 15 minutes. You’ll know exactly where you stand and what needs attention. [ Schedule Your Assessment](https://calendly.com/captechgroup/15min) No cost • No obligation • Written findings delivered after the call This assessment is designed for businesses that: - • Are applying for or renewing cyber insurance and need to answer technical questions on the application - • Have compliance requirements they’re not confident they’re meeting (HIPAA, FTC Safeguards Rule, Ohio Rule 1.6) - • Had a phishing incident, a close call, or an employee who clicked something they shouldn’t have - • Have remote or hybrid employees connecting from home networks and personal devices - • Know their security needs work but don’t have internal IT staff to evaluate it ## What the Assessment Evaluates We look at five areas that represent the most common gaps we find in small and mid-sized businesses — and the areas that cyber insurance underwriters, regulators, and auditors ask about most often. ### Dark Web Exposure We scan verified breach databases for credentials tied to your business domain — exposed email addresses, compromised passwords, and the breach sources they came from. Personal password reuse is one of the most common ways attackers get into business systems. We’ll show you exactly which credentials are exposed and which ones need immediate attention. ### Phishing Risk We evaluate your team’s exposure to phishing and social engineering attacks. Most breaches start with a human action — clicking a link, opening an attachment, or responding to what looks like a legitimate request. We assess how prepared your team is to recognize and respond to these attempts. ### Security Controls We review your current safeguards — multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection, backup configuration, email security, and access controls. These are the technical controls that cyber insurance applications ask about and compliance frameworks require. We identify what’s in place, what’s missing, and what needs attention. ### Remote Access & Hybrid Workforce If employees work from home or connect remotely, we evaluate how that access is configured — VPN security, home network exposure, personal device policies, and whether remote connections create gaps in your security posture. Remote workers face different risks than office-based staff, and most businesses haven’t addressed them specifically. ### Training Readiness We check whether your team has current, documented security awareness training and phishing simulation results — the specific records that underwriters commonly require for application approval. If gaps exist, we can provide documented training certificates and simulation results for enrolled employees through our managed training program. ## How the Assessment Works The process is straightforward. No software to install beforehand, no lengthy questionnaires, and no obligation. 1 ### Schedule a 15-Minute Call Pick a time that works for you. We’ll walk through your current environment, what systems you’re using, how your team connects, and what compliance requirements apply to your business. 2 ### We Evaluate Your Environment After the call, we run a dark web scan on your domain, review the information you’ve provided about your security controls, and assess your remote access configuration and training status against your industry’s requirements. 3 ### Review Your Findings You’ll receive a written report covering what we found across all five areas, with specific recommendations prioritized by risk level. We’ll schedule a follow-up to walk through the findings and answer questions. If you have an existing IT provider, we can send the findings directly to them so they can close the gaps for you. ## What You Receive The assessment produces a written report — not a sales pitch. You’ll get specific findings you can act on whether you work with us or not. ### Written Security Findings A report documenting what we found across all five assessment areas — dark web exposure results, security control gaps, remote access risks, phishing readiness, and training status. ### Prioritized Recommendations Each finding is categorized as Critical, Warning, or Informational — so you can distinguish between an insurance-denial risk and a general best-practice suggestion. You’ll know what to address first, what can wait, and what it takes to close each gap — with or without our help. ### Compliance Mapping If your business is subject to specific regulations (HIPAA, FTC Safeguards Rule, Ohio Rule 1.6, SEC requirements), we’ll map your current controls against those requirements so you can see where you meet expectations and where you have gaps. ## Home Networks Are Often Your Weakest Link Remote and hybrid work introduced risks that most businesses haven’t specifically addressed. When employees connect from home, they’re operating on consumer-grade routers with default settings, sharing networks with personal devices, and often accessing business systems from laptops that don’t have the same protections they’d have in the office. The assessment looks at how your remote employees connect, what devices they’re using, whether your VPN or remote access configuration is properly secured, and whether you have policies in place for BYOD (bring your own device), home network security, and acceptable use. These are the areas where we most commonly find gaps — not because businesses are careless, but because remote work scaled faster than the security policies around it. If your team works entirely on-site, we’ll note that and focus the assessment on the other four areas. The assessment adapts to how your business actually operates. ## If the Assessment Reveals Training Gaps One of the most common findings is that employees either haven’t completed security awareness training or the training isn’t current and documented. This matters because cyber insurance applications specifically ask about it, compliance frameworks require it, and phishing simulations consistently show that trained employees are significantly less likely to click on malicious links. If training gaps come up in your assessment, we can recommend a program that includes ongoing security awareness training, simulated phishing exercises, and dark web monitoring for your domain — with completion tracking and documentation for insurance and compliance purposes. That’s a separate conversation, but we’ll let you know if it’s relevant to your findings. ## Common Questions The initial call takes about 15 minutes. We’ll run the technical scans and compile findings within a few business days, then schedule a follow-up call to walk through the report. Yes. We do this to establish a baseline of where your security stands. You get the written report regardless of what happens next. If we’re a fit to help you close the gaps, we’ll talk then — but the findings are yours either way. Not for the initial assessment. The dark web scan runs against your domain externally. The rest of the evaluation is based on what you tell us about your current environment during the call. If deeper technical review is needed, we’ll discuss that as a next step — but the initial assessment doesn’t require any access to your network or systems. That’s fine. Many businesses that request an assessment already have someone managing their IT. The assessment can help you verify that the right controls are in place and documented, or identify gaps your current provider may not have addressed. The findings are useful regardless of who implements the recommendations. We specialize in regulated industries — medical practices, law firms, CPA firms, financial advisors, and registered investment advisors. We also work with small businesses and nonprofits across Ohio. The assessment is tailored to your industry’s specific compliance requirements. Yes. The assessment covers the same areas that cyber insurance applications ask about — MFA, endpoint protection, backups, training, and incident response planning. The written findings can help you answer application questions accurately and identify gaps to address before renewal. ## Schedule Your Security Assessment 15-minute call to review your current safeguards, documentation gaps, and what you’d need for insurance applications, compliance requirements, or general security improvement.
