Cybersecurity Risk Assessment for Houston & DFW Businesses
Most businesses don't know where they're exposed until something breaks. The Braintek Security Snapshot is a free, read-only scan for Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth businesses with 15 or more computers. It reviews your computers, office network, email, and Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, shows you the evidence behind every finding, and a Braintek engineer walks you through what matters most.

What's Included
- Computers and patching Unsupported Windows versions, missing updates, Windows 11 readiness, aging hardware, and whether disks are encrypted.
- Saved passwords Passwords stored in web browsers that an attacker could pull off a single stolen laptop. Shown masked in the report.
- Dark web exposure Employee email addresses and passwords that already appear in known breach data.
- Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace Multi factor authentication coverage, outdated sign-in methods, admin accounts, and failed sign-in activity.
- Email security SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records that decide whether someone can send convincing email as your company.
- Internet-facing exposure Open ports, remote access services, and weak encryption on the systems the internet can reach.
- Your internal network Every device on the office network, a network map, and whether cameras, printers, and other appliances are separated from business systems.
- Endpoint protection and backup Whether antivirus or EDR, monitoring, and backup are actually present on each computer.
- Remote access tools TeamViewer, AnyDesk, and similar tools that nobody approved, which attackers love to abuse.
- NIST CSF 2.0 alignment Findings mapped to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, with each control marked pass, fail, or not assessed.
Why Braintek
We built the Security Snapshot ourselves, and it is read-only. A signed Windows app runs once on a computer in your office, reviews that machine and the network it sits on, and removes itself when it finishes. Nothing is changed and nothing stays installed. Cloud tenants are reviewed only after one of your administrators signs in at Microsoft or Google and approves read-only access. Every finding in the report comes with the evidence behind it, so you can verify it yourself or hand it to your current IT provider.
How the Security Snapshot works
- Request it. Tell us who you are and how many computers your company has. A Braintek engineer confirms the details and sends you a private link.
- Run it. Someone in your office opens the link, confirms they are authorized to have the network assessed, and runs our signed app on one Windows computer. If you choose, an administrator also approves read-only access to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
- Review it. We build the report from what was found and walk you through it, starting with the risks that matter most.
Who it is for
The Security Snapshot is built for businesses with 15 or more computers: an owner who wants an honest picture of their security, a company facing a cyber insurance renewal, or a leadership team wondering whether their current IT provider is doing the job. The report stands on its own. You can act on it with your own team, hand it to your current provider, or ask Braintek to close the gaps through our cybersecurity services, backup and recovery, and security awareness training.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Security Snapshot cost?
Nothing. The Security Snapshot is free for businesses with 15 or more computers, and there is no obligation. If you want Braintek to close the gaps afterward, managed IT runs $150 to $250 per device per month plus $15 to $35 per Microsoft 365 mailbox, with Microsoft licensing billed separately.
Is this a penetration test?
No. A penetration test is a scoped engagement where certified testers try to break in. The Snapshot finds and documents the weaknesses an attacker would use, without exploiting them. If your auditor, insurer, or a customer contract requires a formal penetration test, we will tell you.
Will this help with our cyber insurance application?
Yes. The report covers the controls insurers ask about, including multi factor authentication, endpoint detection, backups, and email security, so you can answer the questionnaire accurately.
What access do you need?
Someone in your office runs our signed app on one Windows computer, and an administrator can optionally sign in to approve read-only review of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. We never see an administrator password, and nothing in your environment is changed.
We already have an IT provider. Can you still assess us?
Yes, and that is when it is most useful. The report shows evidence, not opinions, so you and your current provider can check every finding. It is also a straightforward way to confirm your provider is doing what you pay for.
What do we get at the end?
A plain-English executive summary with your biggest risks first, a detailed report with the evidence for each finding, a map of your network, specific recommendations, and a NIST Cybersecurity Framework summary showing where you stand against a recognized standard.
