Cybersecurity Risk Assessment for Houston & DFW Businesses
Most businesses don't know where they're exposed until it's too late. Braintek offers Houston and Dallas–Fort Worth business owners an independent cybersecurity risk assessment — a clear, jargon-free picture of their real risk, where the gaps are, what they'd cost, and exactly how to close them. It's the fastest way to know whether your business is genuinely protected or just hoping it is.

What's Included
- Endpoint and network security review A look at how your laptops, servers, and network are protected — and where an attacker would find an easy way in.
- Identity, MFA, and access controls Whether multi-factor authentication is actually enforced, and whether people can reach far more than they should.
- Email security and phishing exposure How well your email defends against the phishing and impersonation attacks most breaches start with.
- Backup and recovery readiness Whether your backups exist, are isolated from ransomware, and would actually restore if you needed them.
- Patching and vulnerability gaps The known security holes sitting unpatched on your systems that attackers actively scan for.
- Cyber-insurance and compliance requirements How your controls measure up to what insurers and frameworks like HIPAA and FTC Safeguards now require.
- Employee security awareness Your people are the most-targeted layer — we gauge how prepared they are to spot and stop an attack.
Why Braintek
The assessment is performed by Galactic Advisors, an independent third-party security firm — so the findings are objective, not a provider grading its own work. You get a prioritized, plain-English report ranking risks by likelihood and impact, and Braintek helps you act on it. Ideal before renewing cyber insurance, meeting a compliance requirement, or simply getting peace of mind.

You can’t fix what you can’t see. Most businesses assume they’re reasonably protected right up until the day they aren’t — and by then the cost is measured in downtime, lost data, and hard conversations with customers and insurers. A cybersecurity risk assessment turns “we think we’re fine” into a clear, factual picture of where you actually stand.
What makes this assessment different is independence. It’s performed by Galactic Advisors, a third-party cybersecurity firm, which means the findings are an objective evaluation of your security — not a sales pitch and not a provider grading its own homework. Whether you have an in-house IT person, another provider, or you’re a Braintek client already, you get an honest second opinion.
You walk away with a prioritized, plain-English report: your real risks ranked by likelihood and impact, what each one would cost you, and exactly what to fix first. From there, Braintek can help you close the gaps — but the assessment stands on its own, and it’s the smartest first step before renewing cyber insurance, meeting a compliance requirement, or simply sleeping better at night.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a risk assessment take?
Most assessments are completed within days, depending on environment size, and you get a clear written report with prioritized recommendations.
Will this help with our cyber-insurance application?
Yes — assessments map directly to the controls insurers now require (MFA, EDR, backups, training), so you can answer the questionnaire honestly and qualify for better coverage.
Who performs the assessment?
The assessment is conducted by Galactic Advisors, an independent third-party cybersecurity firm. That independence matters — the findings are an objective look at your security, not a provider grading its own work. Braintek then helps you understand and act on the results.
We already have an IT provider — can you still assess us?
Yes, and it's often most valuable when you do. An independent third-party assessment gives you an objective second opinion on whether your current setup is actually protecting you — no conflict of interest, no sales spin.
What do we get at the end?
A clear, prioritized report in plain English — your real risks ranked by likelihood and impact, what each would cost you, and exactly what to fix first. Not a 90-page scare document you'll never read.
