Cybersecurity Assessment Services That Hold Up Under Scrutiny - Not Just a Checkbox
Xact IT Solutions has delivered cybersecurity assessment services for 20+ years with zero client breaches on record. Our assessments are scored against CIS Critical Security Controls IG2 - the same standard our own environment is held to in annual third-party audits - and produce a prioritized remediation roadmap and evidence pack your insurer, acquirer, or leadership team can put in front of anyone who asks.
Capabilities
What's Included in Our Cybersecurity Assessment Services
CIS Controls IG2 Posture Scoring
Your environment is scored against the CIS Critical Security Controls Implementation Group 2 framework - the benchmark used by cyber-insurers, M&A diligence teams, and regulators. You receive a documented, defensible posture score, not a vendor-branded rating.
Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
Every gap identified in the assessment maps to a specific, sequenced remediation action ranked by risk severity and implementation effort - so your team knows exactly what to fix first and why.
Evidence Pack for Third-Party Stakeholders
We produce a structured evidence pack - findings, scoring methodology, and attestation documentation - formatted to satisfy cyber-insurance renewals, vendor security questionnaires, M&A diligence requests, and board-level reporting.
Access Control and Identity Review
We examine how user identities, administrator privileges, and multi-factor authentication are configured across your environment - flagging over-permissioned accounts and enforcement gaps before an auditor or attacker finds them first.
Network Segmentation and Boundary Analysis
We map how your internal network is segmented, where trust boundaries exist, and whether critical systems are appropriately isolated from general user traffic - a key control area under CIS IG2.
Endpoint and Configuration Baseline Review
We review how endpoints are configured, patched, and protected against a documented baseline - giving you a clear picture of configuration drift and exposure before it becomes a claim.
What Cybersecurity Assessment Services Actually Deliver
Most businesses turn to cybersecurity assessment services because something forced the conversation – a cyber-insurance renewal questionnaire that got harder this year, an acquiring company’s diligence team asking for documentation, a customer who dropped a security questionnaire into a contract renewal, or a leadership change where the new executive simply wants to know where things stand. The problem is rarely a shortage of awareness. It is a shortage of documented, credible evidence that your security posture has been reviewed by someone with no stake in the answer. Without that, you are filling out questionnaires from memory and hoping the insurer or auditor does not dig deeper. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) consistently identifies unreviewed network environments and misconfigured access controls as the leading contributors to business-transforming incidents – and most of those environments had not been assessed against any documented framework in years. For organizations that need a regional partner, explore our cybersecurity assessment services for New Jersey businesses or learn more about our full managed cybersecurity services.
Our approach is grounded in the CIS Critical Security Controls Implementation Group 2 – the same framework our own environment is measured against in an annual third-party audit. That matters because we are not selling you a proprietary methodology designed to make our services look necessary. We score your environment against a published, publicly documented standard, explain exactly where each gap sits within that framework, and hand you a remediation roadmap and evidence pack you can put in front of anyone who asks. Other providers produce summary reports with heat maps and vendor-branded risk scores. We produce documentation that holds up when a real underwriter, M&A attorney, or compliance officer reviews it.
This service is built for mid-market businesses – typically 25 to 500 employees – that are facing a specific forcing function: a cyber-insurance renewal with a toughened questionnaire, an M&A or vendor security review, a leadership-mandated posture check, a recent near-miss, or the early stages of a compliance program under HIPAA, SOC 2, or CMMC. It also fits private-equity-backed portfolio companies that need a uniform security baseline documented across holdings. It is not the right fit for businesses looking for a low-cost annual scan with no follow-through, or for organizations that have no near-term driver to act on what the assessment surfaces.

Why Businesses Choose Our Cybersecurity Assessment Services
Xact IT Solutions has been operating for more than 20 years and has maintained a zero-client-breach record across that entire period – a claim that is verifiable and rare in this industry. Our team holds active experience across HIPAA, SOC 2, and CMMC compliance frameworks, and our own security environment is assessed annually by a third-party auditor against CIS Critical Security Controls IG2. We carry the GTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark, which signals a documented, independently reviewed security posture to compliance-conscious prospects and their counsel. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides the broader policy context within which the CIS Controls sit – our team works fluently across both. For businesses evaluating their options, the U.S. Small Business Administration’s cybersecurity guidance reinforces why a structured, documented assessment is the essential starting point.
A typical cybersecurity assessment engagement runs four to six weeks from scoping call to final deliverables. Week one covers scoping and environment intake. Weeks two and three are active assessment work – configuration reviews, access control analysis, and control testing across the defined scope. Week four is findings synthesis and roadmap sequencing. The final session, typically in weeks five or six, is the leadership walkthrough where we present the posture scorecard, walk through every gap in plain language, and hand over the complete evidence pack. You are never waiting on a black box – we communicate findings as they emerge so there are no surprises at the readout.
In the first 30 days, most clients describe the same experience: clarity. They come in not knowing exactly where they stand and leave with a documented posture score, a sequenced list of what to fix, and materials they can actually hand to an insurer or diligence team. By 60 to 90 days, clients who engage us for remediation work report that their highest-priority gaps are closed or actively in progress, and that responding to third-party security questionnaires has become significantly faster – because the evidence already exists in a structured, reusable format.

Cybersecurity Assessment Services - Frequently Asked Questions
What does a cybersecurity assessment service cost?
We do not publish pricing because scope varies meaningfully across organizations – a 30-person professional services firm with a single office has a very different environment than a 400-person multi-site business preparing for a PE-backed acquisition. Pricing is scoped transparently at the outset, and the strategy call is the right place to give you a clear picture of what an engagement would involve for your specific situation. We do not send proposals to people who have not had that conversation first.
How long does a cybersecurity assessment engagement take?
Most assessments run four to six weeks from scoping call to final deliverables. Smaller, more defined environments can move faster. Complex or multi-site environments may take slightly longer, particularly if access to systems or documentation requires coordination across teams. We establish a realistic timeline at the scoping stage and do not compress the process in ways that compromise the quality of the findings.
What is included in the strategy call, and is it really free?
Yes, it is genuinely free – a 20-minute conversation with our team, no sales theater, no obligation. We use the time to understand what is driving the need for an assessment, what the deliverable needs to accomplish (insurance, M&A, board, compliance), and whether we are a realistic fit for your situation. You will leave with specific recommendations you can use immediately whether you hire us or not. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you that directly.
How are your cybersecurity assessment services different from a typical provider?
Three things set us apart. First, we score against CIS Critical Security Controls IG2 – a publicly documented, auditor-recognized framework – not a proprietary methodology designed to make our services look indispensable. Second, our own environment is held to the same standard through annual third-party audits, so we are not asking you to trust a framework we have never applied to ourselves. Third, we produce an evidence pack formatted for a specific use case – your insurer, your acquirer, your customer, your board – not a generic report that requires interpretation. We also carry a zero-client-breach record across 20-plus years, which is the kind of track record that matters when you are trusting someone with a security review.
Do you serve clients outside New Jersey?
Yes. Cybersecurity assessment services are delivered remotely by design – our team works with clients across the United States. The structured, evidence-based nature of a CIS Controls assessment does not require on-site presence, and most of our assessment work is conducted remotely regardless of client location. If your business is based outside New Jersey, the strategy call is the right starting point.
Ready to Know Exactly Where Your Security Posture Stands?
The strategy call is 20 focused minutes with our team. You will leave with specific recommendations you can use immediately – whether you engage us or not. We will tell you exactly what a cybersecurity assessment would cover for your situation, what the deliverable will accomplish, and what it takes to get started. No obligation, no sales theater.

The Benefits
The Business Impact of Our Cybersecurity Assessment Services
- A defensible posture score your insurer will accept - grounded in CIS Controls IG2, the framework cyber-underwriters increasingly require, not a vendor-branded rating.
- An M&A or vendor diligence package that moves faster - because the evidence is structured, documented, and formatted for the audience asking the questions.
- A remediation roadmap your team can actually execute - ranked by risk and effort so leadership can make resource decisions without translating technical findings.
- Reduced questionnaire fatigue - once your posture is documented, responding to the next security questionnaire draws on evidence that already exists rather than starting from memory.
- Board and leadership confidence grounded in evidence - not a vendor's assurance that things are probably fine, but a documented, third-party-standard posture review they can hold in their hands.
- A clear line of sight to compliance readiness - for businesses working toward HIPAA, SOC 2, or CMMC, the assessment identifies exactly which gaps stand between your current posture and the framework you are moving toward.
