Ransomware, phishing, compliance gaps, and unpatched vulnerabilities don't wait. Our cybersecurity assessment gives you a clear, scored picture of your threat exposure — with a prioritized remediation plan — in 48 hours. Free. No obligation.
Most "free security assessments" are automated scans that generate a scary PDF to pressure you into buying something. Ours is a hands-on evaluation by certified security engineers who understand regulated industries — and the results are yours to keep regardless.
We scan your public-facing infrastructure — open ports, exposed services, SSL/TLS weaknesses, DNS misconfigurations, and known CVEs — to show what attackers see from outside
Antivirus coverage, EDR deployment, firewall rules, segmentation, Wi-Fi security, admin account exposure, and lateral movement risk across your internal network
MFA enforcement, password policies, privileged account management, former employee access, conditional access policies, and single sign-on configuration
SPF, DKIM, DMARC configuration, email filtering rules, anti-phishing training status, impersonation protection, and attachment sandboxing evaluation
Backup coverage, immutability, recovery testing history, air-gapped copies, and whether your backup strategy would survive a real ransomware attack
A cybersecurity assessment without compliance context is incomplete. We map your security controls against the specific regulatory frameworks your industry requires — so you know not just whether you're secure, but whether you're compliant.
We identify which frameworks apply to your business, evaluate your current controls against each requirement, and flag the gaps that create regulatory exposure — all in one assessment.
Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for ePHI — risk analysis, access controls, audit logging, encryption, and breach notification readiness
Revised 2023 requirements for financial institutions — qualified individual, risk assessments, MFA, encryption, and continuous monitoring
Written Information Security Plan (WISP) with nine mandated elements for every tax return preparer — annual review and documented controls
Security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls — increasingly required by enterprise clients and partners
Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover — the gold-standard framework for cybersecurity maturity assessment across all industries
CCPA, state breach notification, CPA board requirements, and jurisdiction-specific data protection mandates — mapped for your operating states
Every assessment produces a deliverables package you keep — actionable documents, not a sales pitch. Use them to fix things yourself, hand them to another provider, or work with us.
A scored assessment across 15 security categories — critical, high, medium, low — with specific findings, evidence, and remediation steps for each.
15-category risk matrixA regulation-by-regulation breakdown showing where your security meets each framework's requirements and where gaps create compliance exposure.
Framework-specific mappingA clear, non-technical overview for leadership — overall risk level, top 5 critical findings, regulatory exposure, and recommended next steps.
Written for business ownersTechnical findings with CVE references, severity ratings, affected systems, proof-of-concept evidence, and specific remediation instructions for each vulnerability.
CVE-referenced findingsCredentials, email addresses, and company data found on dark web marketplaces — showing which employee accounts may already be compromised.
Credential exposure checkA prioritized action plan ranked by risk severity and business impact — with estimated effort, budget ranges, and recommended timeline for each improvement.
Prioritized by risk severityWe know cybersecurity concerns are often urgent. Whether you've had a recent incident, an upcoming compliance audit, or a client demanding proof of your security posture — we move quickly and deliver on the timeline we promise.
We confirm receipt of your request and schedule a scoping call within 2 business hours — same day for submissions before 3 PM ET.
Scanning and evaluation start within 24 hours of your scoping call. For urgent situations (recent incidents, imminent audits), we can begin same-day.
Your complete assessment package — scorecard, compliance map, vulnerability report, and remediation roadmap — delivered within 48 hours of assessment start.
Real findings from real assessments — and what happened after. These stories are why we offer the assessment for free: the findings speak for themselves.
"GCS found 47 employee credentials on the dark web — including two partner accounts with admin access. Our previous IT company never checked. We had those accounts compromised within weeks of them being posted."
"We thought we were HIPAA compliant because we had antivirus. The assessment showed 23 specific gaps — no MFA, no encryption on laptops, no BAA with our cloud vendor, and backup that hadn't been tested in 2 years."
"A client required us to prove our cybersecurity posture before renewing our contract. GCS did the assessment in 48 hours, gave us a scorecard we could share, and helped us fix the three critical findings before the deadline."
The average time from breach to detection is 204 days. Our cybersecurity assessment gives you answers in 48 hours — a complete threat picture, compliance map, and prioritized action plan. Free, confidential, and yours to keep.
