Free IT Assessment
A no-cost, no-obligation review of your devices, patching, backups, security tools, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace configuration, network and documentation, delivered as a written findings report with priorities and walked through with you on a call.
Overview
Most organizations do not know what state their IT is in until something forces the question.
The question usually arrives at a bad moment: an insurer's renewal questionnaire, a customer's security review, a ransomware story about a competitor, or an IT person handing in notice. Leadership asks whether backups work, whether every laptop is patched and encrypted, who still has admin access, and whether MFA is really on for everyone. The honest answer is often that nobody knows for sure.
Our free IT assessment answers those questions in writing. We review your devices and how they are patched and protected, your backups and whether they restore, your security tools, the configuration of your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant, your network and firewall, and the documentation that exists. The result is a findings report that ranks what we found by risk, explains each item in plain language and says what would fix it, followed by a walkthrough call to go through it with you.
There is no cost and no obligation. The report is yours to keep and act on with your own staff, your current provider or us. The review is done remotely for organizations anywhere, with an on-site walkthrough available in the Springfield area.

How It Works
How the assessment works
The review is done remotely. With your permission we use read-only administrative access to your cloud tenant, reports from the tools you already run, a conversation with whoever knows the environment best and, where you agree, a temporary scan of devices and the network. Nothing is changed during the review. A walkthrough call follows the written report, and in the Springfield area we can also walk the office and the network closet with you.

Common Questions
Questions we get asked
Is the IT assessment really free?
Yes. There is no fee, no obligation and no contract to sign. We offer it because it is the clearest way for an organization to see how we work and what we would change. You keep the written report whether or not you ever become a client, and you are free to act on it with your own staff or another provider.
What does the assessment cover?
Devices and patching, backups, security tools, admin access and MFA, the configuration of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, the network and firewall, and the documentation that exists. If you have a specific concern, such as an insurance renewal, a customer security questionnaire or a compliance framework, tell us at the start and we will weight the review toward it.
Is this the same as an IT audit or a penetration test?
It is an IT audit in the practical sense: a structured review of how your systems are run, with written findings. It is not a penetration test, which actively tries to break in, and it is not a formal compliance assessment such as a HIPAA risk analysis or a CMMC assessment. If the findings suggest you need one of those, the report says so.
What access do you need, and will you change anything?
Read-only administrative access to your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant, any reports or exports your current tools can produce, and a conversation with whoever knows the environment best. Where you agree, a temporary scan of devices and the network fills in the gaps. Nothing is changed during the review, and any access you grant is removed at the end.
Do you come on site?
In the Springfield area, yes: we can walk the office, the network closet and the server room with you as part of the review. Everywhere else the assessment is done remotely, which covers almost everything, because devices, cloud tenants and firewalls are reviewed from their configuration rather than by looking at them. The walkthrough call works the same way wherever you are.
Is there a quicker way to check where we stand?
Yes. Our free online tools take a few minutes each: the Cyber-Insurance Gap Check scores you against the controls insurers ask about, the HIPAA Security Rule Checklist and the CMMC Readiness Check cover those frameworks, and the Managed IT Cost Calculator shows typical market ranges. They are self-assessments; the IT assessment is the version where we look at the systems themselves.
What happens after the walkthrough call?
That is up to you. Some organizations fix the findings with their own staff, some hand the report to their current provider, and some ask us for a proposal. If you ask for one, it is based on what the assessment found, with the scope and the monthly fee in writing. We will not keep chasing you if you decide not to go ahead.
