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
- Backups Whether your backups exist, are isolated from ransomware, and would actually restore if you needed them.
- Accounts Stale, reused, or cracked passwords, and admin accounts that never expire, the credentials attackers hunt for first.
- Microsoft 365 Whether multi-factor authentication is actually enforced across every user account, not just a few.
- Patches Unpatched operating systems and inconsistent builds sitting exposed to known, actively scanned-for exploits.
- Antivirus Gaps in endpoint protection coverage, and whether your antivirus actually alerts on real attacker behavior.
- Firewalls Open remote-access ports and whether your firewall is actually catching malicious traffic, not just passing it through.
- Education Your people are the most-targeted layer. We gauge how prepared they are to spot and stop a phishing attempt.
- Encryption Unencrypted drives and sensitive personal data sitting exposed in plain files, email, or file-sharing tools.
- Surveillance Whether the environment would actually detect an advanced, persistent attacker moving through your network.
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.
