What is a Cyber Comfort Check?

A Cyber Comfort Check is a compact, accessible assessment that quickly gives insight into your security level and the most important risks. The team assesses the most critical security aspects: access control, patch level, backups, email security, network security and awareness. Results are translated into a clear overview with concrete quick wins and a score per domain. Ideal starting point for organisations without a formal security programme.

About this service

You know cybersecurity is important but do not know where you stand

A Cyber Comfort Check is a compact, low-threshold assessment that quickly reveals the most important pain points. The team assesses the most critical security aspects and translates the results into a clear overview with concrete quick wins.

It is not a comprehensive audit but a targeted check that exposes the most important issues in a short time. The results are translated into a clear overview with concrete quick wins that you can implement immediately.

The Cyber Comfort Check is the ideal starting point for organisations that do not yet have a formal security programme. It gives direction without overwhelm. Based on the results you can decide where to invest first.

The Problem

You know you should take cybersecurity seriously but do not know where to start

Many organisations know cybersecurity is important but lack the overview to make the right investments. A full assessment seems daunting and expensive. The Cyber Comfort Check bridges that gap.

  • Without insight into your current security level you cannot prioritise investments or explain to your board where the greatest risks lie.
  • Basic security hygiene issues such as missing MFA, outdated software and weak backup procedures are common and easily fixed when identified.
  • Cyber incidents increasingly target SMEs precisely because larger organisations invest more in security. Knowing your weak spots is the first step to addressing them.

  • Patch level and update policy
  • Backup and recovery

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

How long does a Cyber Comfort Check take?
1 to 2 weeks. It is designed as a compact, low-threshold assessment that quickly identifies the most important priorities.
Is this suitable for large organisations?
For large organisations a full Cyber Security Assessment is more appropriate. The Cyber Comfort Check is designed for SMEs and organisations with little formal security in place.
What if the results are poor?
Then you know where you stand. The report contains concrete quick wins you can implement immediately, and advice on next steps. Knowing your situation is the first step to improving it.
Is this a pentest?
No. The Cyber Comfort Check assesses policy and configuration at a high level. A pentest tests technical vulnerabilities in depth. They are complementary.
What does a Cyber Comfort Check cost?
The investment is deliberately kept accessible. Contact us for an indication based on your organisation size.
