Frequently asked questions
What is a cyber risk assessment, and why does my business need one?
A cyber risk assessment is an evaluation of potential risks and vulnerabilities in your digital infrastructure. Businesses need it to identify and mitigate security weaknesses, protecting sensitive data and systems from cyber threats.
What is penetration testing, and how does it help?
Penetration testing, or pentesting, simulates cyberattacks to identify security flaws before real attackers exploit them. It uncovers weaknesses in systems, applications and networks so organizations can address them proactively.
What is a virtual Chief Security Officer (vCSO), and how can it benefit my organization?
A vCSO provides expert guidance on cybersecurity strategy and risk management without the expense of hiring a full-time Chief Security Officer. It gives organizations tailored security expertise to develop and implement effective cybersecurity measures.
How long does a typical cyber risk assessment or penetration test take?
It depends on the complexity and size of the organization's infrastructure. Generally, cyber risk assessments and penetration testing engagements range from a few days to several weeks.
How often should my organization run cyber risk assessments and penetration tests?
Regularly: typically once a year, or whenever significant changes occur in your IT environment, such as system upgrades or network expansions.
When was the last time you ran a cyber risk assessment?
