360-degree assessment
Overview
We believe strongly that, at the end of the day, important IT decisions and direction should be handled by the senior leadership of our clients. In order for those leaders to make the decisions that are right for their business, they need a strong foundation of knowledge and data.
Our 360-degree network assessment package is designed with this in mind. We will take a comprehensive look at the following key areas of your network, generating a detailed report as well as a summary report card, assigning a letter grade to each topic:
Security

Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Compliance
Performance

Simulated PHISHING attack
Overview
We will create a well-designed simulated phishing attack and send it to all of your staff.
Most attacks will have multiple layers of engagement that will be measured, for example: opened the email, clicked on the link, typed in information to a box.
After 5 business days, we will close the campaign and generate a report showing what percent of staff reached each engagement level.
Based on the results we can provide written guides and/or onsite or remote training.

10 business days to prepare and send out the attack
5 business days for staff to click on the attack
3 business days to close out the attack and prepare the reports
Output
Report detailing what percent of staff and who exactly reached specific engagement level
basic security assessment
Overview
No security assessment would be complete without reviewing the basics.
From your network policies to firewall, we will review and assess all fundamentals.
While the basics are essential, the number-one vulnerability in any network is employee use.
That’s why we also thoroughly test the IT intellect of your staff by simulating a phishing attack to provide you a real assessment of how secure your network really is.
