Complementary Cybersecurity Checkup for Huntsville Businesses
What we’re doing
We’ve launched a large-scale research project where several of our cybersecurity interns are gathering industry-specific data under the guidance of our senior cyber team, which has more than a decade of hands-on experience.
As part of this initiative, we’re offering complimentary cybersecurity audits to select organizations. The goal is to both strengthen our research findings and provide participating businesses with valuable insights into their current security posture.
Why we’re doing it:
Cyber-attacks against contractors, professional services, and small businesses are growing each year, not just from large-scale hackers but also from fraud attempts, phishing, and insider threats. We believe many organizations can dramatically reduce their risk with some simple, practical steps. This checkup is our way of helping businesses identify vulnerabilities before attackers do.
What you’ll get:
A baseline risk report highlighting gaps in your current security posture, think of this as your businesses cyber risk report card.
A comprehensive asset inventory list alongside EOL projections and asset refresh schedule.
A review of email, device, and network protections with actionable recommendations
A set of best practice guidelines tailored to the construction industry.
A short consultation call to walk through findings and answer questions.
One full year of complimentary 24/7 monitoring and threat detection so you can experience, in real time, the benefits of a stronger security posture and see firsthand how continuous protection impacts your organization.
How to participate:
There’s no cost and no obligation; the goal is simply to help you better understand your current security standing and provide clear next steps you can act on.
If you’d like to participate, just email brandon@hotlinehelpdesk.com and we’ll schedule a time for your checkup.
