A thorough, plain-language review of your business's security posture — what you have, what's missing, and exactly what to do next. No technical background required to understand the results.
Most small businesses don't know what they don't know when it comes to security. The First Canary Security Assessment gives you a structured, expert review of your digital environment and translates what we find into language you can actually act on.
We look at the areas that matter most for businesses your size: how your team handles email, where your data lives, how your network is set up, and whether your basic security practices are in place.
We diagnose — you decide what to fix. Our job is to give you a clear, honest picture of your risks and the options available to you. We don't provide ongoing security services or fix issues on your behalf. That keeps us objective, and keeps you in control.
Being clear about scope keeps us objective and keeps your costs predictable.
Your risk surface changes as your business grows and technology evolves. We offer quarterly and annual re-assessments so you always have a current picture — without committing to an ongoing contract.
Most assessments are complete start to finish in under two weeks.
You complete a short questionnaire about your business — industry, staff size, tools you use, and your biggest concerns. No technical knowledge needed.
We meet for 90–120 minutes to review your answers together, ask follow-up questions, and make sure we have a complete picture before we begin the assessment.
We conduct the review remotely, examining your email, network, devices, data practices, and more. We may request read-only access to specific systems.
You receive your written report, followed by a call to walk through every finding, answer your questions, and discuss which next steps to prioritize.
These services complement the Security Assessment and are available as add-ons at the time of engagement.
Automated scanning of up to 10 assets to surface known CVEs and outdated software your assessment may flag.
A deeper look at your web presence — scanning for OWASP vulnerabilities and public-facing misconfigurations.
We turn assessment findings into a written policy your staff can actually follow — passwords, data, devices, and more.
No hidden fees. No ongoing commitment unless you choose one. Exact pricing confirmed on your initial call based on business size and scope.
Re-assessment pricing: Quarterly re-assessments are available at 25% off the original price. Annual re-assessments at 15% off. Pricing is locked in at the tier of your first engagement.
