The Right Time for a Cybersecurity Assessment

Imagine that you contracted a cybersecurity assessment provider to find out if you’re vulnerable to a cyber intrusion and when they logged into your systems, they found that you were in the process of being attacked! (True story!)

Obviously, the time to have a cybersecurity assessment is before something happens but there are different reasons that make now the right time.

  • You need to comply with regulations.
  • You need a second opinion on cybersecurity.
  • You need to verify your security posture to your customers.
  • You’ve had a cyberattack.
  • You’re wondering if you have gaps in your security posture.

Whether your goal is compliance, validation that your IT team is doing all they say they’re doing, or you’re thinking about outsourcing the cybersecurity function of your business, a cybersecurity assessment is the way to get the lay of the land and point you toward what you need to do next to better manage cyber risks.

4-Step Cybersecurity and Risk Assessment Process

The cybersecurity assessment process will be customized to meet your goals for compliance, confidence, or validation of your security posture. Some leaders want their IT security assessment to proceed in stealth mode without the IT team’s knowledge. Others want their IT staff to be involved.

Compliance assessments require a significant amount of collaboration with your staff because the process will include a review of your non-technical as well as your technical security policies. This means that HR and department heads will need to be involved.

Whatever the security assessment, we’ll guide you through a process that has four general phases that encompass data discovery, analysis, report preparation, and review.

  • Phase 1: Access and Document Gathering

    You provide us with network access and documentation.


    Depending on the type of assessment you need, we may install tools to execute scans or get interviews scheduled to assess policies and procedures.


    These tools take time, so they'll run for a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your network.

  • Phase 2: Data Collection

    Information is collected from the scanning software.


    We’ll schedule a visit to your facility to learn about your processes, interview employees to assess secure behavior, and evaluate physical security as it relates to network access.

  • Phase 3: Report Preparation

    Findings will be assembled in a Gap Analysis or IT Security report.


    Recommendations for cybersecurity improvements will be included along with action items and priorities for next steps. That way, it's clear to the executives and stakeholders where the holes are and what needs to be done moving forward.

  • Phase 4: Delivery and Review

    You'll get a high-level executive summary and detailed reports that we'll review together and answer your questions.


    You'll get a clear picture of your security posture and insights you can use whether you work with us in the future or not.

We hadn't seen anyone like VC3 before.

I was pleasantly surprised by VC3’s remote IT support and how well it served our city. We learned the hard way that we needed a vendor that helped us stay secure from ransomware and cyberattacks, update and patch everything constantly, and stay on top of IT issues. With VC3, everything is getting done. You don’t know what you’re missing if you’ve never seen it before—and we hadn’t seen anyone like VC3 before.
