Assess your vulnerabilities.

Strong cyber resilience begins with truly understanding your environment and where you may be vulnerable to attack. AI has given traditional attackers new tools so they know your “Achilles heel” before you do. 

We have assessments that range from an entry level overall review, to a highly detailed DNS/domain assessment, to an assessment of your overall data storage and safety. Most can be completed within a few short weeks, and are inexpensive. It’s worth it to know your environment before the bad guys do.

Available Assessments

Let us assess your environment before attackers do.

AI Applications and Agents Assessment

An AI agent is not a passive tool. It holds credentials, makes decisions, and acts on behalf of the organization. That makes it a new kind of insider, one that works at machine speed and rarely appears in a traditional access review.

The failure modes are specific. An agent granted broad permissions to move fast becomes a broad point of exposure. A third-party AI vendor quietly trains on the data it processes. An agent authenticates with a shared key nobody rotates. A prompt-injection payload turns a helpful assistant into a data-exfiltration path. None of this shows up until something moves that should not have.

Knowing where AI can act, and where it should not, is now a core part of managing risk. This assessment answers that question directly. 

This assessment evaluates the AI applications and agents in use, with a focus on access, autonomy, data exposure, and oversight. It is a governance and risk assessment, not a model performance review. 

AI and Agent Inventory
  • Discovery. Identification of AI applications and autonomous or semi-autonomous agents in use, including sanctioned tools and shadow deployments
  • Attributes. For each, the vendor, purpose, business owner, and deployment model (SaaS, embedded, in-house)
  • Population. The number of agents in operation and where they run
Permissions and Access Scope
  • Reach. What systems, applications, and data each agent is permitted to access
  • Least privilege. Evaluation of whether access is scoped to need, or granted broadly for convenience
  • Autonomy. The scope of action available to each agent, from read-only, to write, to the ability to transact or act on behalf of a user
Identity and Authentication
  • Agent identity. How each agent authenticates, including API keys, service accounts, OAuth tokens, and other non-human identities
  • Secret handling. How credentials are stored, rotated, and protected
  • Attribution. Whether agent actions can be traced to a responsible owner and distinguished from human activity
Data Exposure
  • Sensitive data. What regulated or sensitive data (personal, financial, health, or confidential) each agent can access or process
  • Vendor data use. Whether third-party AI providers retain, train on, or share the data they handle, and where that data resides
Guardrails and Oversight
  • Human in the loop. Where approval gates and human review exist, and where agents act unattended
  • Output handling. Validation, error handling, and limits on the actions an agent can take
  • Boundaries. Rate, scope, and permission limits that contain the blast radius of a misbehaving agent
Third-Party AI Vendor Risk
  • Review of AI vendor data processing terms, sub-processors, model training use, and retention
  • Model provenance and change management for the underlying services
Model and Prompt Risk
  • Exposure to prompt injection, jailbreaks, and data leakage through model interaction
  • Handling of untrusted input reaching an agent with access to sensitive systems
Monitoring and Governance
  • Logging of agent actions and decisions, and the ability to detect anomalous behavior
  • Policies, ownership, acceptable use, and lifecycle management for onboarding and retiring agents

Email, Website, and DMARC Security Posture Assessment

Most organizations assume these surfaces are handled. In practice, DMARC is often left at monitoring only, which means it reports on abuse without stopping it. SPF and DKIM are misaligned or incomplete. Certificates are valid but transport settings are weak. Security headers are missing. Old subdomains and services stay online long after anyone remembers them.

None of this shows up in day-to-day operations. It shows up when someone spoofs the domain to defraud a customer, or when a forgotten service becomes the way in. A posture assessment surfaces these gaps before an attacker does, and does it without touching production. 

This assessment evaluates externally observable email and web security posture. It is a non-intrusive assessment based on publicly available configuration and observable behavior. It is not a penetration test and does not attempt exploitation. 

Email Authentication
  • SPF. Review of the Sender Policy Framework record for presence, correctness, and completeness
  • DKIM. Review of DomainKeys Identified Mail signing configuration and key posture
  • DMARC. Review of the DMARC record, alignment, and enforcement level, including whether policy is set to monitor, quarantine, or reject
  • Supporting controls. Review of MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, and BIMI where present, and mail transport encryption posture
Website Security Posture
  • Transport security. TLS and certificate configuration, protocol and cipher posture, and HTTPS enforcement
  • Security headers. Review of HSTS, Content Security Policy, and other response headers that reduce common web attack classes
  • Exposure review. Identification of externally observable services, open ports, and common misconfigurations on in-scope hosts
  • Information leakage. Review of exposed technology details, error handling, and other observable disclosure
Domain and Email Hygiene
  • DNS hygiene. Review of DNS configuration for the in-scope domains, including dangling records and common misconfigurations
  • Lookalike exposure. Identification of registered lookalike or typosquat domains that could be used to impersonate
  • Mail-flow risk. Review of observable mail routing and third-party sending services for the domain

GDPR Assessment

GDPR is not a checkbox. It is a set of obligations that touch how a company designs systems, writes contracts, trains people, and responds when something goes wrong. Startups tend to underestimate this for a simple reason. The regulation applies based on whose data you process, not where your company sits. Handle the personal data of people in the EU or EEA, and the obligations attach regardless of the size of the team.

The risk is not only regulatory penalty, though those are real. It is enterprise customers who will not sign without proof of compliance, due diligence that stalls a funding round, and remediation costs that grow the longer the gaps stay open.

A structured assessment answers the questions that matter early. Where does personal data actually flow. What is the lawful basis for processing it. Are data subject rights honored in practice. Is security proportionate to the risk. What has to be fixed first.

This assessment evaluates how personal data is handled across both the product and internal operations. It is a program-level and product-level evaluation of GDPR alignment. It is not a penetration test or a technical vulnerability scan. 

  • Applicability review. Confirmation of whether and how GDPR applies, including territorial scope and the personal data being processed
  • Data-flow mapping. Identification of what personal data is collected, where it is stored, and how it moves through the organization and the product
  • Lawful basis and consent. Review of the lawful basis for processing and, where relied upon, the consent mechanisms in place
  • Data subject rights. Evaluation of whether rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability, and objection can be honored in practice
  • Security of processing. Review of technical and organizational measures against Article 32 expectations, proportionate to the risk
  • Transparency. Review of privacy notices and disclosures for accuracy and completeness
  • Gap identification. Prioritized findings ranked by risk and effort to remediate
