Why choose Protek for your next cyber risk assessment?
If you've never conducted a cyber risk assessment before, you may be wondering what's involved in the process. Here is an overview of what you can expect from a cyber assessment by Protek.
Many businesses struggle to identify all the systems, devices, and data that keep operations running. In fact, 68% of professionals say that they lack visibility over all of their organization’s data assets.
Without knowing what exists, it becomes difficult to secure the right areas. This leads to blind spots that attackers can target.
So, Protek will help you create a full inventory of assets and sensitive data. Our team organizes this information in a way that shows what is most critical. You gain a clear view of what you own and where risks could arise.
This process reduces confusion and helps you prioritize resources effectively. By knowing exactly what to protect, you build a strong foundation for every step that follows.
Outdated or misconfigured protections often give you a false sense of security. You may believe tools like firewalls or antivirus are working, when gaps exist that leave systems exposed. These weaknesses create opportunities for attackers.
That’s why Protek will review your current security controls to see how well they hold up. Our experts test defenses like access controls, patching, and monitoring. You’ll get to see what works and where improvements are needed.
This gives you confidence in the measures you rely on each day. You can move forward knowing exactly where to strengthen protection.
Threats evolve constantly, and vulnerabilities often hide within software or user practices. Many organizations overlook these risks until they cause serious issues. This reactive approach makes recovery more costly and disruptive.
Protek will scan your IT systems for vulnerabilities and map them to real-world threats like phishing or ransomware. Our process highlights the areas most likely to be exploited. You receive clear evidence of where risks are highest.
By uncovering these issues early, you gain the chance to fix them before they escalate.
IT issues are not just technical problems. They affect productivity, finances, and compliance obligations. If you do not connect risks to business outcomes, it is easy to underestimate their importance.
As part of every risk assessment, Protek will evaluate how IT disruptions would impact your daily operations and long-term goals. This includes measuring potential downtime, financial loss, and regulatory impact. You’ll see the real cost of inaction.
This clarity helps you prioritize investments based on value. By linking risks to outcomes, you can protect both your business and your clientele.
General advice without context leaves you guessing about what to do next. Many businesses end up wasting resources on fixes that do not address the real problem. You need guidance that is specific and practical.
Let Protek provide tailored recommendations that address the risks found in your environment. Each step is explained clearly so you know why it matters. You receive guidance you can act on right away.
With this information, you avoid wasting time on guesswork. You move forward with targeted improvements that deliver measurable results.
Cybersecurity is not a one-time project. Without a long-term plan, your improvements will fade and the risks will return. Many organizations struggle to maintain progress simply because they lack direction.
That’s why Protek will work with your team to create a cybersecurity roadmap that prioritizes improvements and aligns them with your budget and goals. Our plan guides you through both immediate actions and long-term strategies. You’ll always know what step comes next.
This roadmap also helps you stay prepared as your business grows and threats evolve.
Regulated industries must protect sensitive information while proving compliance at every stage. Yet, internal IT teams often struggle to keep up with audits, documentation, and evolving standards, which increases the risk of penalties.
That’s why Protek will map your assessment results against the compliance standards you must follow. This process highlights gaps in your environment and provides a clear path to address them before they impact operations or reporting.
You gain documented evidence that your systems align with requirements. This reduces the chance of fines or failed audits and keeps your organization prepared for regulatory scrutiny at all times.
Secure your business today with your tailored cyber risk assessment!
A successful attack can stop operations, disrupt customer service, and lead to long recovery times. Many businesses only discover risks after downtime occurs, leaving them vulnerable to repeated interruptions.
Protek will perform cyber risk assessments that pinpoint weaknesses before they can be exploited. Based on our findings, we create a remediation plan that directly addresses those risks and strengthens your defenses.
You minimize downtime and maintain business continuity. With stronger resilience, your operations stay stable and ready to adapt to evolving threats.
Without clear insights, businesses can overspend on unnecessary tools or neglect critical protections. This imbalance leaves gaps in defense while driving up costs that deliver little value.
Protek will help you create a risk-based roadmap that ranks issues by severity, business impact, and cost to address. This approach gives you clarity on what matters most and where attention should go first.
You allocate resources more effectively and cut wasted spending. By focusing investments on the measures that provide the greatest protection, your business gains stronger security at a sustainable cost.
You should schedule a cyber risk assessment at least once a year to keep your defenses aligned with evolving threats.
Many businesses also add mid-year reviews after major technology changes, mergers, or regulatory updates. Regular assessments help identify new vulnerabilities early, confirm that remediation efforts are effective, and provide updated documentation for audits.
The right frequency depends on your industry, compliance requirements, and how quickly your environment changes.
Insider threats are part of a comprehensive cyber risk assessment. We review access controls, user activity logs, and account privileges to identify excessive permissions or unusual behavior that could signal risk.
We also evaluate policies for employee onboarding, offboarding, and role changes.
Testing for insider threats helps uncover gaps that might allow misuse of data or systems and provides actionable recommendations to reduce exposure from both accidental and intentional actions.
Most activities, such as reviewing policies, analyzing configurations, and scanning systems, can be performed in the background without interrupting your staff.
When testing requires active engagement, we schedule it during off-peak hours or in controlled environments.
Clear communication with your team before and during the assessment ensures that critical business functions remain unaffected while we gather accurate security insights.
The remediation plan you receive is highly detailed and tailored to your environment.
It ranks identified risks by severity, outlines the business impact of each issue, and provides step-by-step recommendations for fixing them.
The plan also highlights cost considerations, timelines, and whether in-house staff or external support should carry out the actions.
We will need access to key systems, network configurations, security policies, and user account structures. Some administrative privileges may also be required to run scans, review logs, and test security controls.
We also request documentation on compliance requirements, recent incidents, and technology changes.
All access can be granted temporarily, used strictly for the assessment, and managed under least-privilege principles as desired.
