Cyber security can quickly become complex. Many organisations have tools in place, such as antivirus, firewalls, Microsoft 365 security features, backups or awareness training, but that does not always mean those controls are configured correctly, monitored effectively or aligned to the risks the business faces today.

 

Our free Cyber Security Assessment gives you a clear view of your current security posture. We help you understand where you are protected, where gaps may exist, and which improvements should be prioritised first. The assessment is designed to be practical, proportionate and focused on helping you reduce risk without unnecessary complexity.

What we’ll review

  1. 01

    Your current cyber security controls across identity, devices, email, data, backups and user awareness

  2. 02

    Whether key tools and platforms are configured effectively and being used to their full potential

  3. 03

    Potential gaps in Microsoft 365 security, including MFA, Conditional Access, email protection and device management

  4. 04

    Exposure to common threats such as phishing, ransomware, compromised accounts and unauthorised access

  5. 05

    Your ability to detect, respond to and recover from a cyber incident

  6. 06

    Opportunities to improve security posture, compliance confidence and operational resilience

  7. 07

    Whether your current approach supports cyber insurance, customer assurance or Cyber Essentials requirements

Why now?

Cyber threats continue to evolve, and many attacks start with everyday weaknesses: a poorly configured account, a phishing email, an unmanaged device, an untested backup or an alert that no one sees in time. Even businesses with security tools in place can still have meaningful gaps if those tools are not configured, reviewed or managed properly.

 

A cyber security assessment helps you move from assumption to evidence. It gives you a structured view of your current position, so you can make informed decisions about where to focus time, budget and effort. Rather than buying more tools by default, you can understand what you already have, what is working well and what needs attention.

What you’ll receive

  1. 01

    A practical summary of your current cyber security position

  2. 02

    Clear visibility of potential gaps, risks and misconfigurations

  3. 03

    Prioritised recommendations based on risk, impact and ease of remediation

  4. 04

    Guidance on where existing tools or licences could be better configured or used

  5. 05

    Advice on how to improve identity, device, email, data and backup security

  6. 06

    A suggested route forward for remediation, managed security support or wider cyber maturity improvement

  7. 07

    Input from Simoda specialists who understand cyber security, Microsoft 365, compliance and business resilience

Who is this for?

 

 

This assessment is ideal for organisations that want a clearer understanding of their cyber security posture and a practical view of what to improve next. It is particularly useful if you are concerned about phishing, ransomware, Microsoft 365 security, cyber insurance requirements, Cyber Essentials, customer assurance, compliance obligations or general business resilience.

 

It is also suited to IT leaders, finance teams, operations leaders and business decision-makers who need confidence that the organisation is taking a proportionate and structured approach to cyber risk. If your security tools have grown over time, responsibilities are unclear, or you have not reviewed your cyber position recently, the assessment provides a valuable starting point.
