Audit Assessment
Costly Compliance
Small to mid-sized (SMBs) companies are facing a new reality in cyber-security. They are targeted more than larger companies, yet they have smaller budgets to combat the security risks. Hackers go after the SMBs because they know that larger companies invest more in cyber security. To compound matters, smaller businesses greatly depend on the trust they build with their customers, and when data breaches occur, the result can be devastating — a tarnished reputation can fold a small organization in the blink of an eye.
While cyber breaches are escalating, so are burdensome regulatory requirements. The fines and penalties can easily run up to the millions, and while larger companies can take on this level of risk, SMBs simply cannot. All is not lost, though.

Gap Analysis & Needs Analysis
A Gap Analysis is a way of assessing “where your IT system is currently” and “where you want it to be.” A Needs Analysis is more specialized and looks at ways to “fill the gap.”
- Identify Goals
- Assess Entire IT Environment
- Research Costs
- Document Recommendations
Another way to assess your system’s needs is through a Vulnerability Assessment. This is a proactive solution to determine where “gaps” are in your IT security program. The evaluation identifies and prioritizes security issues and ensures compliance protection.
