Cybersecurity Assessment for Boston Companies

A cybersecurity assessment is a structured review of your computers, network, security controls, and data protection that finds vulnerabilities and risks before attackers do. Boston Tech Advisors scans every layer of your infrastructure, analyzes the risks and compliance gaps it finds with severity ratings, and delivers a prioritized remediation roadmap with guidance on implementing it.

The assessment covers twelve areas: computer and network assessment, risk identification, vulnerability scanning, security controls review, SOC2 and PCI compliance, penetration testing, threat analysis, data protection review, incident response evaluation, backup and recovery review, employee awareness training, and reporting and recommendations.

You receive a complete security report. It includes a plain-English executive summary with no jargon, detailed vulnerability findings, risk severity ratings from Critical to Low, a compliance gap analysis, a prioritized remediation roadmap, and employee training recommendations. A 30-day follow-up call is also included.

The first consultation is free. In it we learn how your company runs and agree the scope of the assessment, so you know exactly what is included before anything starts.

Your advisor is Ben Katz, founder of Boston Tech Advisors. Ben has more than 15 years of experience as a CIO and CTO and has led technology strategy at EF Education First, Rue La La, and dataxu, working at the executive level across ed-tech, fintech, and e-commerce.

201 CMR 17.00 is a Massachusetts regulation that sets minimum standards for protecting personal information about Massachusetts residents. It applies to every person or business that owns or licenses that information and requires a written information security program with administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Whether it applies to you depends on the data you hold, so confirm with your legal counsel. This is general information, not legal advice.

The CEO Session is a free, one-hour conversation with Ben Katz with no deck, no pitch, and no obligation, ending with an independent read on where your technology stands. The security assessment goes deeper: it scans your systems, analyzes risks and compliance gaps, and delivers a written security report with a prioritized remediation roadmap.

A checklist is a helpful place to start, but it cannot test your systems. The assessment adds vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and threat analysis, then turns the findings into risk severity ratings and a prioritized remediation roadmap.
