FAQ

What is included in a small business cybersecurity assessment?

A practical assessment can review accounts, email, cloud tools, vendors, domains, policies, recovery paths, and the controls most likely to reduce risk.

Will the assessment be a long technical report?

The focus is clear priorities and useful documentation. Findings are explained plainly, with practical next steps and a 30/60/90-day roadmap where appropriate.

Can you help if we do not have an IT department?

Yes. 402InfoSec is built for small businesses and founder-led teams that need security direction without enterprise overhead.

Do you provide emergency incident response?

402InfoSec may help with preparation, triage guidance, and referral direction, but emergency response availability depends on the situation and should be separately confirmed.

Start with a clear view of what matters.

A security assessment turns vague concern into a practical action plan for the systems your business depends on.
