A Free Security Assessment That Reveals Your Next IT Priorities
Schedule Your 15 Minute Consultation
Small IT Gaps Can Create Larger Business Risks
Unclear Security Exposure
Without a structured review, outdated settings and overlooked weaknesses may remain hidden. These gaps can increase risk for sensitive business and health information.
Unverified Backups
A backup process is only useful when it aligns with recovery needs and can support restoration. Uncertainty can leave your organization exposed to data loss and prolonged downtime.
Aging Technology
Older equipment may contribute to slower performance, reliability problems, and rising support costs. An equipment-aging review helps clarify which assets deserve attention first.
Excessive User Access
Access rights can accumulate as responsibilities and staffing change. Reviewing user network access can reveal permissions that should be reconsidered or better controlled.

Security Risk Assessment

Free Security Assessment FAQs
What Is Included in the Free Security Assessment?
The assessment includes a security risk review, backup and disaster recovery audit, network discovery, equipment-aging report, and user-access analysis. These areas provide a practical overview of technology risks and planning priorities. The scope is intended as an initial assessment rather than an exhaustive test of every system.
Is the Security Assessment Really Free?
Yes, Cedarcreek offers this initial security assessment at no cost. It is designed to help eligible healthcare organizations and small businesses better understand their current IT environment. Any potential follow-up work can be discussed after the findings are reviewed.
Is This Assessment the Same as a Penetration Test?
No, this assessment is broader and less exhaustive than a dedicated penetration test. It reviews several operational and security areas to identify concerns that may require deeper investigation. If specialized testing appears appropriate, that can be considered separately.
Who Is the Assessment Designed For?
It is designed for healthcare organizations and small businesses with limited internal IT resources, particularly those operating 7 to 40 computers. Cedarcreek serves organizations across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph. The assessment is especially useful when security, backup reliability, aging equipment, or user access is unclear.
How Long Does the Assessment Take?
The time required depends on the size and complexity of your IT environment. We first clarify the systems and areas that need to be reviewed, then arrange the on-site assessment accordingly. Scheduling and scope can be discussed before the review begins.
What Happens After the Assessment?
We explain the findings and help you understand which issues may deserve attention first. Recommendations can inform immediate fixes, longer-term planning, or further investigation where needed. The goal is to give your organization a clearer basis for deciding what to do next.
