How it fits
Cybersecurity assessment, protection and recovery planning
Cybersecurity decisions need to connect tools, people and business responsibilities. EVERNET Consulting was founded in 2007 as a managed service provider and has since added managed security (MSSP) services, so security can sit inside a managed IT agreement or run as its own program alongside your IT team. EVERNET’s services cover risk assessment, email threat protection, endpoint security, patch management, password management and security awareness training. The starting point is understanding what information and operations matter most, and how they are currently protected.
A useful assessment identifies the systems in scope, gathers available evidence and sets priorities your business can act on. Improvements may involve access rules, device configuration, employee practices or clearer ownership of alerts. Recovery planning and continuity work help connect preventive controls with the steps needed during a disruption.
EVERNET can support an agreed security program, assessment or project. Compliance preparation, formal certification and legal advice are different responsibilities. Penetration testing and incident response beyond the governing agreement require separate scoping. The plan should make monitoring, investigation and response ownership explicit; having a security product installed does not establish who is watching or acting.
Security patterns differ by sector: see cybersecurity for law firms, biotech and life sciences and healthcare, or cybersecurity in Connecticut.
Compliance frameworks we help with: Cybersecurity governance, risk and compliance (GRC), HIPAA, NIST CSF, PCI DSS and SOC 2.
How we work with you
If a security review turns up a risk in your website, forms or email setup, we bring in the team that manages them and agree the fix with you. You aren’t left to pass security findings on to someone else.
What to work through.
Where security work usually starts.
Email threat protection
Advanced filtering and phishing prevention on the inbox, which is where most incidents still begin.
Endpoint detection and response
Antivirus with EDR on every workstation and server, plus device health monitoring that runs 24/7/365.
Security awareness training
Ongoing, subscription-based training and simulated phishing so staff recognize the attack before they click.
Access and passwords
Multifactor authentication, corporate password management and access reviews when people join, change roles or leave.
Compliance preparation
HIPAA-aligned delivery for healthcare, privacy-sensitive patterns for legal, accounting and financial services, and the documentation insurers and auditors ask for, including cyber-insurance questionnaires.
Vendor and third-party exposure
Vendor management that reduces the risk introduced by the software, phone and cloud providers you already depend on.
Questions worth asking any cybersecurity provider.
What is monitored, and who responds?
Monitoring, investigating an alert and acting on an incident are separate activities. Ask which of the three the provider does, during which hours, and what the agreement says about escalation.
What is in scope, and what is quoted separately?
Assessments, projects, penetration testing and incident response beyond the agreement are usually separate. A clear scope avoids surprises on both sides.
Who owns the evidence if we leave?
Logs, reports, questionnaire answers and documentation should belong to your business and be handed over at the end of an agreement.
How is staff training run and reported?
Ask whether training is ongoing or one-off, whether it includes simulated phishing, and how results are reported to management.
Can you work with the IT team or provider we already have?
A security provider should be able to define responsibilities alongside internal staff or another IT company, in writing, rather than requiring everything to move.
Questions before you get started.
Where should we start if we do not know our risks?
Begin with a scoped cybersecurity risk assessment. Identify important systems, data, access arrangements and existing controls, then agree what evidence will be reviewed. The output should support prioritized decisions, with owners and next steps, rather than a list of tools to buy.
Does security monitoring include incident response?
Monitoring, investigating an alert and responding to an incident are separate activities. Your agreement must define which activities are included, who is authorized to act and how escalation works. Confirm staffed coverage and response commitments for your specific service.
Can EVERNET certify our compliance?
EVERNET can help prepare systems and evidence within an agreed scope. Formal certification or audit sign-off belongs to the appropriate accredited third party, and legal obligations should be reviewed with your advisers. A tool or service alone is not proof of compliance.
How much does a cybersecurity risk assessment cost?
It is scoped as a fixed-fee project. The price depends on the number of users, devices and locations, the systems in scope and whether a compliance framework such as HIPAA applies. You get the scope and price before work starts; current rates are on our pricing page.
Can EVERNET be our security provider if another company handles our IT?
Yes. Security is available as a standalone recurring program, a one-time assessment or a project, with responsibilities between EVERNET, your IT provider and your staff written down.
Do you do penetration testing?
Penetration testing and red-team engagements are scoped separately rather than included by default.
