Technology Risk Assessment

Every service we provide begins with understanding risk. Whether we’re resolving a support issue, planning a server upgrade, deploying Microsoft 365, or implementing backups, we’re continually assessing the security, reliability, and resilience of your IT environment.

A Technology Risk Assessment simply brings that process together into a structured review, giving your business a clear picture of where technology risks exist and practical recommendations for reducing them.

Our Assessment Covers 

We don’t produce lengthy reports filled with technical jargon. Our assessments focus on practical recommendations that reduce risk, improve reliability, and support your business goals. Every recommendation is prioritized so you know what should be addressed first and what can wait.

Every assessment is tailored to your environment. Following an initial discussion, we’ll provide a fixed-price proposal with a clearly defined scope—no surprises, no hidden fees.

We don’t believe in selling technology for the sake of it. We believe in understanding the risks, explaining them clearly, and helping you decide what should be addressed now, what can wait, and why.

What Business Risks Are We Looking For?

During every assessment we evaluate the technology risks that can impact your business, including:

  • Unplanned downtime
  • Data loss
  • Cybersecurity vulnerabilities
  • Aging hardware
  • Single points of failure
  • Backup and recovery gaps
  • Compliance concerns
  • Business continuity risks

What We Assess

Infrastructure

Things you review:

  • Servers and virtualization
  • Storage
  • Network equipment
  • Wi-Fi
  • Internet connectivity
  • Hardware age and lifecycle

Questions?

  • Is anything approaching end of life?
  • Are there single points of failure?
  • Is capacity becoming an issue?

Backup & Recovery

One of the biggest business risks.

Things you review:

  • Backup success
  • Backup failures
  • Retention
  • Off-site copies
  • Recovery testing
  • Recovery time expectations
  • Disaster recovery plan

Questions?

  • Can your backups actually be restored?
  • How long would recovery take?
  • When was the last restore test?

Cybersecurity

Most Overlooked

Things you review:

  • Firewall configuration
  • MFA
  • Microsoft 365 security
  • Email protection
  • Antivirus / EDR
  • Patch management
  • Password policies

Microsoft 365 Review

Since almost everyone uses it now.

Things like:

  • MFA enabled
  • Legacy authentication
  • Shared accounts
  • Licensing
  • Exchange configuration
  • OneDrive
  • SharePoint
  • Conditional Access (where applicable)

Business Continuity

This is different from backup.

Ask:

Questions?

  • What happens if the server dies?
  • What happens if internet is lost?
  • What happens if ransomware hits?
  • Can employees work remotely?
  • Who knows what to do?

Compliance Readiness

Not a full compliance audit.

Rather: “We’ll identify common gaps that may affect insurance or regulatory requirements.”

  • Cyber insurance
  • PCI
  • PIPEDA
  • Industry best practices

Documentation

One of the most overlooked areas.

Check:

  • Network diagrams
  • Password management
  • Asset inventory
  • Vendor contacts
  • ISP information
  • Licensing
  • Recovery documentation

Deliverables

So you know what you receive.

Things like:

  • Executive Summary
  • Risk Score
  • Infrastructure Overview
  • Backup Assessment
  • Security Assessment
  • Hardware Lifecycle Report
  • SharePoint
  • Conditional Access (where applicable)

If your primary server failed tomorrow, would you know how long it would take to recover?

If you’re unsure of the answer, a Technology Risk Assessment can provide the clarity you need to make informed decisions about your IT environment.

How Much Does a Technology Risk Assessment Cost?

Every business is different.

The time required depends on the size of your environment, the number of users and servers, your Microsoft 365 configuration, and the complexity of your network.

After a brief conversation, we’ll provide a fixed-price quote so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Our goal isn’t to sell unnecessary technology—it’s to give you a clear understanding of your current environment and practical recommendations that help you make informed business decisions.
