Cybersecurity Assessment
Comprehensive security review with prioritized remediation roadmap.
Most small and mid-size businesses do not know exactly where they stand on cybersecurity. They know they have a firewall (somewhere). They know they have antivirus (probably). They know they back up the server (mostly). What they do not know is whether any of those defenses would actually stop an attack, or where the gaps are that an attacker would walk through. A cybersecurity assessment turns that uncertainty into a prioritized list of things to fix.
MCR Business Tech Solutions runs comprehensive cybersecurity assessments for businesses across Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and New York. The deliverable is not a 200-page audit nobody reads. It is a prioritized roadmap: what is critical, what is important, what is nice-to-have, what each item costs to fix, and what order to tackle them in. You leave the assessment knowing exactly where you stand.
The assessment covers the full stack: network vulnerability scanning (authenticated and unauthenticated), endpoint review (workstations and servers), access control audit (who has admin access, who has stale accounts, who has access they should not), configuration review (firewall rules, AD settings, email security, backup integrity, DNS hygiene), and compliance gap analysis if you have HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST CSF, or CMMC requirements. We use the same tooling and methodology that bigger consulting firms use, scaled to the budget of a small or mid-size business.
Most assessments take 3-5 business days for small-to-mid businesses, 1-2 weeks for larger or more complex environments. Findings are categorized by severity (critical, high, medium, low) with estimated effort and cost for each. You see exactly what is at stake and exactly what it takes to address each finding.
What's included
Network Vulnerability Scan
Authenticated and unauthenticated scans of your network identifying outdated services, open ports, weak configurations, and exploitable software versions.
Endpoint Review
Spot-check workstations and servers for missing patches, weak passwords, disabled security features, and signs of prior compromise.
Access Control Audit
Review of user accounts, group memberships, file-share permissions, and admin privileges. Surfaces over-privileged accounts and access leftover from former employees.
Configuration Analysis
Firewall rules, Active Directory settings, email security configuration, backup integrity, and DNS hygiene reviewed against current best practices.
Compliance Gap Identification
If your business has compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST CSF, CMMC), we identify gaps between current state and required controls.
Remediation Roadmap
Findings categorized by severity (critical, high, medium, low) with estimated effort and cost for each. You leave the assessment with a prioritized action plan, not a 200-page report nobody reads.
Why businesses choose MCR
Prioritized, Not Overwhelming
Findings ranked by severity and impact. You know what to fix first and what can wait, instead of being handed a 200-page report and left to figure it out.
Cost-Aware
Each finding includes estimated remediation effort and cost. Budget planning becomes part of the deliverable, not a separate exercise.
Real Tooling
Authenticated network scans, configuration audits, and endpoint review using enterprise-grade tools (not just a vulnerability-scanner one-shot).
Actionable Output
You can start fixing things the day the report lands. No further consulting required to interpret it.
Getting started
Kickoff & Scoping
Define what is in scope (network segments, locations, user populations), set up agent access on endpoints, schedule scan windows around your business operations.
Active Assessment
Vulnerability scans run, configuration data collected, endpoints reviewed. Most of this happens in the background; minimal disruption to the team.
Analysis & Roadmap
Findings categorized, prioritized, and written up. Delivered as a presentation walkthrough plus written report. Re-tests scheduled after remediation.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a cybersecurity assessment take?
Most small-to-mid-business assessments take 3-5 business days from kickoff to delivered report. Larger or more complex environments take 1-2 weeks.
Will the assessment disrupt our operations?
No. Scans run in passive mode initially. Active scans are scheduled for off-hours. Endpoint review uses agents that run silently in the background.
Do we have to fix everything you find?
No. The remediation roadmap is prioritized by severity and impact. You decide what to fix, when, and what budget to allocate. Critical findings should be addressed quickly; lower-severity items are often deferrable.
Do you re-test after remediation?
Yes. Once you implement fixes, we re-scan to confirm the issues are actually resolved. The first assessment is the baseline; re-tests verify progress.
