WHY IT ASSURE

Security controls should be verified,
not assumed.

Your firm needs more than a list of cybersecurity products. It needs agreed protections maintained, checked, and corrected as people, devices, and systems change.

IT Assure combines managed cybersecurity with repeated validation and follow-through on routine covered gaps—helping professional firms protect confidential client information and the trust their businesses depend on.

CYBER DEFENSIBILITY

Managed. Checked.
Followed through.

Managed protections

The agreed controls receive ongoing attention.

Coverage checks

The expected environment is compared with actual protection.

Follow-through

Routine covered gaps are addressed and the results checked.

LESS CHASING

Less chasing.
More work handled.

Your team should not have to keep asking whether a protection was checked or a routine security gap was fixed.

When a decision belongs with management, we bring the issue with context and our recommendation.

FINDINGS FROM RECURRING CHECKS

The gaps we find
are not theoretical.

During recurring checks of customer environments, we have found issues such as these.

Endpoint protection

FINDING

Protection that was not properly deployed.

WHAT ONGOING CHECKS LOOK AT

Compare intended devices with the protections actually operating.

Account authentication

FINDING

Accounts without multifactor authentication (MFA) enabled.

WHAT ONGOING CHECKS LOOK AT

Check that required authentication applies to the covered accounts.

Departed employees

FINDING

Licenses still assigned after employees had left.

WHAT ONGOING CHECKS LOOK AT

Review relevant changes against account and license assignments.

We investigated those findings and made the appropriate corrections. Cyber Defensibility includes the continuing work of checking actual coverage, correcting routine covered gaps, and verifying the result.

These are summaries of findings described by IT Assure, not reproductions of customer records. The value is work completed on your behalf.

AN EXTERNAL CPA ACCOUNT

Why checking still matters
after installation.

In an account shared by a CPA, a failed security-software update left a computer without its intended protection before a breach was discovered.

Would your firm know if a protection it relied on was no longer working?

The Cyber Risk Wasn’t.

Another firm’s experience does not establish that a particular check would have prevented the incident.
