Manufacturing Cyber-Risk & Insurance Readiness Assessment
Find out where you stand before your insurer, your customer or an attacker does. Every environment is different, so we agree the price with you up front after a short call. You get a written report in plain English and a prioritised list of what to fix.
What we check
- Your insurance answers. We go through your cyber-insurance application or renewal and mark which answers are true today.
- Exposed passwords. A scan for your company email addresses in known breach data on the dark web.
- Your internet-facing systems. An external scan of your firewall, remote access and anything else reachable from the internet.
- Staff phishing readiness. An optional simulated phishing email to your staff, with your written OK first, to see how many people would click.
- Backups. What's backed up, where the copies live, and when someone last tested a restore.
- The basics. MFA, patching, endpoint protection, admin accounts and Windows 10 / Office 2021 / Server 2016 machines.
- Compliance scope (if relevant). Whether NIST 800-171 or CMMC applies to you and where that data lives.
What you get
- A written report, a few pages, in plain English.
- A traffic-light summary: what's fine, what needs work, what's urgent.
- An email spoofing check: whether someone could send email that looks like it came from your company, and how to close the gap.
- A one-page list of your devices: operating system, update status and what to do about each one.
- A prioritised fix list with a fixed quote for each item, valid for 30 days, so you can do it yourself, with us, or not at all.
- A clear statement of what a managed agreement would cover and what would be out of scope, so there are no surprises later.
- A one-hour walkthrough with Chad.
Sign up for managed IT within 60 days of your walkthrough and we'll credit your full assessment fee against your first three monthly invoices. No long-term contract.
How it works
- Request — fill in the short form. We'll call within one business day to set a time.
- Kick-off call (30 minutes) — we learn how your business runs and agree what's in scope.
- We do the checks — mostly remote; no disruption to production. Most assessments take two to three weeks from kick-off to walkthrough. We'll agree a firm date with you at kick-off, based on your size, sites and systems.
- Walkthrough — we go through the report together and answer questions. No pressure.

Questions
- Will this disrupt production?
- No. The checks are read-only and mostly remote. Any phishing test only goes out with your written approval.
- Do we have to sign up for managed services after?
- No. The report is yours to use however you like.
- Who sees the results?
- Only you and the CYOPS IT staff doing the work. We never share findings, and we never name clients.
- Can our insurance agent be involved?
- Yes. If you'd like, we'll walk your agent through the results.
