IT Assessment Services
Know Exactly Where Your IT Stands
A structured IT assessment gives Ohio businesses a clear picture of their security gaps, infrastructure risks, and cost reduction opportunities — in writing, with a prioritized action plan.
What We Evaluate
A complete IT assessment covers every layer of your technology environment — not just what's visible from the outside.
Security Posture
Email authentication, endpoint protection, MFA adoption, patch levels, firewall configuration, and vulnerability exposure.
Backup & Recovery
Backup frequency, retention, offsite storage, recovery time objectives, and whether backups have been tested recently.
Infrastructure Health
Hardware age, network architecture, server load, cloud vs. on-prem balance, and single points of failure.
Identity & Access
User provisioning, offboarding gaps, admin privilege sprawl, shared credentials, and access to sensitive systems.
Software & Licensing
End-of-life software, license compliance, shadow IT, and vendor contracts that can be consolidated or renegotiated.
Compliance Readiness
Documentation gaps, regulatory exposure (HIPAA, PCI, IRS Safeguards, cyber insurance requirements), and audit readiness.
What You Receive
Every IT assessment produces a written report you can act on immediately — or share with leadership, your board, or your cyber insurance carrier.
How the Assessment Works

30-minute conversation about your business, current IT environment, and what's been keeping you up at night.
Assessment

Findings Report
You receive a written report with prioritized findings, a risk score, and a clear remediation roadmap.
Review Meeting
We walk through the report together, answer questions, and discuss which recommendations to act on first.

An IT assessment is the right starting point for any of these situations.
Assessment FAQs
What's the difference between an IT assessment and your free IT checkup tool?
The free IT checkup tool scans your public-facing domain for SSL, email authentication, and security headers in about 60 seconds. An IT assessment is a comprehensive review of your entire environment — internal systems, backups, user access, network, vendor contracts, and compliance posture. It requires direct engagement with your team and produces a detailed written deliverable.
How long does a full IT assessment take?
For most small businesses (10–50 employees), the assessment itself takes 1–2 hours plus document review. You receive the written findings report within 3–5 business days after our data gathering is complete.
Is there an obligation to become a client after the assessment?
No. We provide the assessment report regardless of whether you choose to work with us. You own the findings and can use them however you like — to prioritize internal improvements, evaluate other vendors, or simply understand where you stand. We find that most clients choose to move forward, but that decision is always yours.
Who usually requests IT assessments?
Business owners who've never had a formal IT review, companies that recently experienced an incident, organizations preparing for cyber insurance renewal, firms with compliance obligations they're uncertain about, and businesses that are growing and want to know if their current IT can scale with them.
Can you assess compliance readiness for HIPAA, PCI, or the IRS Safeguards Rule?
Yes. We include a compliance section that maps your current controls against the relevant framework requirements and identifies the most critical gaps. This isn't a formal audit (which requires a licensed auditor), but it gives you a clear picture of where you stand and what you'd need to address before a formal audit.
