Assessment Scope

What your free assessment includes

The assessment focuses on common internet-visible risks that affect small business trust, email deliverability, insurance readiness, and incident exposure.

External Surface Review

Public-facing endpoints and domain records checked for common security gaps without intrusive penetration testing.

TLS & Certificate Checks

HTTPS behavior, certificate validity windows, and protocol-level hardening signals visible from the public internet.

Security Header Baseline

High-impact HTTP security headers and practical improvements that reduce browser-side attack exposure.

DNS & Email Baseline

Foundational DNS, MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC signals that affect resilience, spoofing risk, and trust.

FAQ

Common questions about the free security assessment

What we check from outside your network, what we do not touch, and what the report contains.

6 results
CoverageIs this a penetration test?

No. It is a passive external review — domain records, DNS, TLS and certificates, HTTP security headers, and email authentication. Nothing intrusive is run against your systems. Internal network testing only happens under a separate, explicitly scoped authorization.

OnboardingWhat do you need from us to start?

Your business domain name and confirmation that you are authorized to request the review. Everything in the assessment is visible from the public internet, so no system access or agent install is required.

CoverageHow is this different from a free online scanner?

A scanner returns a score. A senior engineer reads these results before delivery and writes what each finding means for your business, which ones matter first, and what a realistic fix looks like — including the ones a tool would flag that you can safely ignore.

CoverageWill this tell us if we passed our cyber insurance questionnaire?

Not on its own. It covers the externally visible portion — email authentication and exposed services — which is where questionnaires often catch offices out. Controls like MFA coverage, backup testing, and endpoint protection need the fuller readiness review.

CoverageHow long until we get the results?

We confirm scope within one business day and follow up with the written summary after the review. If something genuinely urgent turns up — an exposed service or a mail domain anyone can spoof — we tell you as soon as we see it rather than waiting for the report.

CoverageWhat happens if you find something serious?

You get the finding, the practical fix, and the priority. There is no pressure to hire us — most items can be fixed by your own team or your current provider, and the report is written so they can act on it directly.
