What's Involved in Our Cyber Risk Assessments
Spot Weaknesses Before They Turn Into Risks
Unpatched systems, outdated software, or unnoticed misconfigurations can create serious risks. In fact, in 75% of cases where a hacker exploited a vulnerability to launch an attack, that vulnerability had been present for 2 or more years. That’s why it’s so important to stay on top of issues.
Network 1 Consulting delivers scheduled scans every quarter that identify known vulnerabilities across your environment.
These scans highlight where action is needed so you can respond quickly and reduce exposure. You gain clarity on what needs fixing without relying on guesswork or assumptions.
Stay informed, in control, and be ready to act.
Track Progress & Make Informed Security Decisions
It’s hard to fix what you can’t see. Many teams struggle to understand where they stand because they lack clear, up-to-date insights into their security gaps. Without this visibility, it becomes harder to determine what needs attention.
Network 1 Consulting’s reports give you that visibility. After each scan, we deliver a clear summary of every vulnerability found, how things have changed over time, and what needs attention.
You can measure progress, validate improvements, and focus your resources on your biggest risks.
Resolve Security Risks With Hands-On Remediation Support
Identifying vulnerabilities is only part of the job. Many teams lack the time or expertise to resolve issues quickly, which increases risk and slows progress.
That’s why Network 1 Consulting will stay involved after the scan. We offer direct support to help you address the most pressing risks. Our team works with yours to close gaps quickly and effectively.
Experience faster results, reduced exposure, and peace of mind knowing that the whole job will get done.
Build Stronger Policies That Match Your Real-World Needs
Missing or outdated security policies make it harder to manage risk. Without clear rules, employees don’t know what’s expected, and important tasks may fall through the cracks.
Network 1 Consulting can review your current policies to find gaps or outdated information. If you don’t have policies in place, we help you build practical ones tailored to your business and regulatory requirements.
You get clear, usable policies that support daily operations and reduce confusion. We make it easier to stay secure and compliant.
Plan Ahead With Expert Security Guidance
Fixing issues as they come up won’t protect you in the long term. Without a plan, it’s easy to fall into a pattern of reacting instead of improving.
Network 1 Consulting’s team will give you clear recommendations to help you plan ahead. Our assessments include strategic recommendations designed to improve your overall security posture over time. These insights support smarter planning and stronger defenses.
You gain a clearer path forward with advice rooted in real-world experience. We help you make informed decisions that strengthen security long after the scan ends.
The Benefits of Conducting a Cyber Risk Assessment With Network 1 Consulting
Gain Full Visibility Across All IT Assets
Overlooking even one device or outdated application can expose your business to serious risk. Yet, many companies struggle to track all IT assets, especially as their environments grow more complex with remote work and cloud adoption.
Network 1 Consulting includes all hardware, software, and connected devices in our cyber risk assessments. You gain clarity into exactly what’s connected and how it impacts your security posture.
This helps you address risk from all angles, not just the obvious ones. You stay ahead of threats by closing off possible entry points before they cause damage.
Close Any Gaps Left by Unpatched Applications
Many cyber attacks exploit vulnerabilities in everyday desktop applications. That’s because businesses often focus on Windows updates but overlook third-party tools like Java, Adobe, or Zoom. This creates openings that threat actors can easily target.
That’s why Network 1 Consulting’s cyber risk assessments include 100+ common applications.
We will check for missing software patches that default system updates often skip. Then, we will show you which applications need updates so you can act quickly and reduce the chance of an attack.
Fix high-risk gaps beyond the operating system and reduce your overall security risks.
Identify Compromised Credentials Linked to Your Business
When employee credentials appear on the dark web, attackers can use them to bypass security and access internal systems. Many businesses don’t realize their data is exposed until it’s too late. This type of threat often goes undetected without dedicated monitoring.
Network 1 Consulting will scan the dark web for any credentials tied to your domain. We also monitor 10 additional personal email addresses at no added cost. If we find leaked passwords, social security numbers, or security question data, we alert you immediately.
This helps you take fast action to lock down accounts and update credentials before attackers can use them.

Cyber Risk Assessment FAQs
You should conduct a cyber risk assessment at least once a year. More frequent assessments may be necessary in specific situations, such as:
-
After a major IT change, such as a cloud migration or infrastructure upgrade
-
When adding new vendors or third-party tools
-
Following a significant incident or attempted attack
-
Before compliance audits
-
When expanding to new markets or handling new types of data
Cyber risk assessments are required by several compliance standards, including HIPAA, PCI DSS, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. These standards mandate regular assessments to identify and reduce security risks.
Other frameworks, like ISO 27001, require similar risk-based approaches.
While not every regulation explicitly demands a formal risk assessment, conducting one still supports compliance and strengthens overall security by identifying threats before they cause harm.
A full cyber risk assessment usually takes between 1 to 3 weeks. The timeline depends on the size of the organization, the complexity of its systems, and the depth of the assessment.
Smaller businesses with simple networks may complete it faster. Larger companies with multiple locations or legacy systems often will take more time to review configurations, identify vulnerabilities, and gather the required documentation.
While you could conduct a basic cyber risk assessment yourself, it likely won’t catch everything. Most general-use cybersecurity tools only cover surface-level issues.
Comparatively, our team uses advanced methods to uncover hidden risks, analyze business impact, and prioritize fixes. We also provide expert guidance to help you avoid overlooking serious vulnerabilities or misjudging risk levels.
Working with our cyber experts gives you a complete, accurate view of your environment and a clear plan to reduce risk.
Involve whoever oversees your IT, compliance, or risk strategy. This could be an IT manager, security lead, or operations director.
If you don’t have someone in that role, we can guide a business owner or general manager through the process.
We will handle most of the heavy lifting involved in the assessment process, but we may need to speak to someone who understands how your specific IT systems work and how your business makes decisions about risk.
