Cybersecurity Assessment

Most small businesses have never had a real security assessment

A structured review of your actual environment that tells you where you are exposed, what the realistic risk is, and what to fix first. An assessment replaces assumptions with facts.

What it covers

What a NextLayerSec assessment covers

  • Identity and access controls including MFA, admin accounts, and permission structures
  • Email security and authentication including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
  • Microsoft 365 configuration reviewed against security baselines
  • Endpoint protection configuration and coverage gaps
  • DNS security and whether filtering is in place
  • Backup configuration and whether recovery has ever been tested
  • Offboarding processes for departing employees
  • Documentation and incident response readiness

Deliverable

What you actually receive

Every assessment ends with a written findings report and a prioritized remediation roadmap.

The report is written in plain language. You do not need a security background to understand what we found or why it matters. We walk through the findings with you rather than emailing a PDF and disappearing.

Where to next

  • Not sure you need this yet? The free domain check reads your public DNS in about ten seconds and tells you what the rest of the internet can already see.
  • Most of this work is covered by Security Essentials, at $395 onboarding then $199 a month for teams up to 20.
  • Findings become work on the hardening side. The assessment tells you what is wrong; that is where it gets fixed.

Better security starts with knowing what is missing.

Start with a focused assessment. Fix the highest-priority gaps. Add the right layers over time.
