IT Security Assessments: What They Are and Why They Matter

Understanding the Basics

An IT security assessment is like a health checkup for your network. Instead of blood pressure or cholesterol levels, technicians look at firewalls, user permissions, software configurations, and more. The goal is to spot weak points before attackers do.

Why Every Business Needs One

Cyberthreats don’t discriminate by company size. A small vulnerability can lead to data loss, downtime, or reputational damage. Regular assessments help you:

  • Preemptively identify risks
  • Prioritize fixes that deliver the biggest impact
  • Meet compliance requirements
