How much does the IT Risk Assessment cost?

The IT Risk Assessment is a paid engagement — we've found that businesses get more value from the process when there's real investment on both sides. Pricing is straightforward; contact us (/contact-us)or call 231-946-5969 and we'll give you the details.

Do I have to become a managed IT client after the assessment?

No. The IT Risk Assessment stands on its own. You'll receive a full written report and a clear set of recommendations — what you do with them is up to you. If you do decide to become a client the cost of the IT Risk Assessment will be applied to your first month of service.

How long does it take?

The assessment itself requires less than one hour of your time. We handle the technical work — we just need brief access to your environment and a short conversation at the start and end.

What size businesses do you work with?

We work best with businesses between 5 and 100 employees. We serve organizations across a range of industries throughout Michigan.

What if the assessment reveals serious issues?

We'll tell you clearly what we found and how serious it is. If there are critical issues, we'll walk you through your options for addressing them — including what we can do and what you could do independently.

Do you perform IT Risk Assessments for businesses outside of Traverse City?

Yes. We serve businesses throughout Michigan. Most of the assessment can be performed remotely, so geography is rarely a barrier.

How is this different from a vulnerability scan?

A vulnerability scan is a technical tool that identifies known software vulnerabilities on specific systems. An IT Risk Assessment is broader — it looks at your entire security posture including people, processes, and technology. A vulnerability scan is one input into an IT Risk Assessment, not a replacement for one.

IT Risk Assessment for Michigan Businesses | Wyant Technologies

Find out exactly where your business is vulnerable — before an attacker does.

Most businesses don't know what's actually on their network. Unpatched systems, weak passwords, misconfigured access controls, unmonitored devices — these are the gaps attackers exploit. And they're usually invisible until something goes wrong.

Wyant Technologies performs a professional IT Risk Assessment for Michigan businesses. In less than an hour of your time, we'll give you a clear, honest picture of your security posture — and a prioritized list of what needs to be fixed.

No jargon. No scare tactics. No surprises.

What We Evaluate

Network Security

We review your firewall configuration, network segmentation, remote access controls, and Wi-Fi security to identify exposure points.

Endpoint Security

We assess the security posture of your workstations, laptops, and servers — including patch levels, antivirus/EDR coverage, and encryption status.

User Access and Identity

We review user account management, password policies, multi-factor authentication (MFA) coverage, and access controls to identify over-permissioned accounts and orphaned credentials.

Email Security

We evaluate your email platform's security configuration — including spam filtering, anti-phishing controls, domain authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and exposure to business email compromise.

Backup and Recovery

We assess whether your backup systems are functioning, tested, and capable of recovering your business in a real incident — not just whether backups technically exist.

Dark Web Exposure

We check whether your business credentials have already been compromised and are available for purchase on the dark web.

Compliance Gaps

If your business is subject to HIPAA, CMMC, NIST 800-171, or the FTC Safeguard Rule, we flag gaps between your current state and what's required.

What You Get at the End

At the conclusion of your IT Risk Assessment, you'll receive a clear written report that includes:

A summary of findings — what we found, and how serious each item is
A prioritized action list — what to fix first, second, and third
Compliance observations — if any regulations apply to your business
A recommended path forward — with clear next steps

You own the report. Use it however you like — whether that's working with us or addressing items on your own.

What to Expect — Start to Finish

Here's how the process works:

1. Schedule your assessment
Book online or call us at 231-946-5969. We'll confirm a time that works for you.

2. Brief intake conversation
Before we begin, we'll spend 15–20 minutes learning about your business, your current setup, and any specific concerns you have.

3. Assessment
We perform the technical assessment — most of which happens remotely and requires minimal time from your team.

4. Review your results
We walk you through your findings in plain English. No jargon, no scare tactics — just an honest conversation about what we found.

5. Decide what to do next
You'll leave with a clear action list. Whether you work with us or handle things internally, you'll know exactly where to focus.

Total time commitment from your team: typically under one hour.

Why This Matters

Cyberattacks aren't just an enterprise problem. Small and mid-sized businesses are the most common targets — precisely because attackers know they often have weaker defenses and fewer resources to respond.

The average cost of a data breach for a small business is tens of thousands of dollars
Many businesses that suffer a serious breach do not recover financially
Approximately 88% of data breaches involve a human element — phishing, weak passwords, or misconfigured access
Regulatory fines for non-compliance can compound the financial damage significantly

The assessment isn't about fear. It's about knowing where you stand so you can make informed decisions.
