What we do well at Hardenwell.

The four things we do for you, in plain English. Everything else is detail.

01 EVERY GAP FOUND AND RANKED

We find what a hacker could actually use.

We map your real systems, people, vendors, and daily workflows, then rank every gap by what it would cost your business. Not a scanner dump. A ranked list in plain English.

  • Internal and external attack paths tied to systems, people, and vendors
  • Control gaps mapped to HIPAA, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, or the framework that fits
  • Every finding ranked by business impact, not scanner severity
Protected business systems connected behind a glowing cybersecurity shield
Verified security evidence and risk assessment documents organized for review
02 WHAT TO FIX NOW, NEXT MONTH, AND THE MONTH AFTER

You get a step-by-step fix-it plan.

You leave with a dated plan for your first 30, 60, and 90 days. Each fix has an owner, a cost, and a reason, and the evidence pack behind it answers insurers, auditors, and enterprise customers.

  • A prioritized roadmap with owners, costs, and dates leadership can hold people to
  • Evidence pack for insurer, regulator, auditor, and enterprise customer requests
  • Board-ready risk summary with decisions, exceptions, and open items
03 WE HANDLE THE SECURITY BUSYWORK

Your team gets their time back.

Your named advisor fields the vendor questionnaires, insurance follow-ups, evidence requests, and board questions, so IT and leadership stop re-explaining the same things. Kickoff to report takes two to four weeks and a few hours of your team's time.

  • Vendor security questionnaires, insurance follow-ups, and customer security reviews organized
  • Leadership-ready answers without pulling IT into the same explanation again
  • Clear owners and cadence so remediation keeps moving
Calm executive workspace showing delegated security work and time returned

04 AVG. DATA BREACH COST: $7.42M (IBM, 2025)

You avoid the expensive day.

A single breach, ransomware event, denied cyber claim, or regulatory issue can wipe out years of prevention budget in one day. Every fix on the plan is chosen to keep that day from happening.

  • Breach, ransomware, downtime, cyber insurance, and regulatory exposure reviewed
  • Security fixes prioritized by the expensive events they help prevent
  • Clear business case before an incident forces the spend

How we work.

Six steps from the first call to a security program that keeps running.

  1. Step 01

    You get one named advisor.

    We name the advisor who will lead the work from the first call through the final findings review, with qualifications confirmed in the engagement scope.

  2. Step 02

    We define the assessment scope.

    We list the locations, systems, assets, data, vendors, people, and requirements included in the assessment.

  3. Step 03

    We collect and review evidence.

    We review policies, diagrams, configurations, scans, records, interviews, and workflows tied to the agreed scope.

  4. Step 04

    We assess the risks and map the controls.

    We compare the evidence with the frameworks and requirements that apply, then score each risk by likelihood and business impact.

  5. Step 05

    We deliver the report and remediation roadmap.

    You receive an executive summary, risk register, control-gap report, evidence pack, and a dated fix-it plan for your first 30, 60, and 90 days with owners and estimated costs.

  6. Step 06

    Choose how to continue.

    Option A · most clients

    Keep your advisor on retainer.

    The advisor who learned your environment stays on to help you implement the roadmap, guide your IT or MSP, and give ongoing advice as things change.

    How the retainer works

    Option B

    Or run it with your team.

    The report and roadmap are yours. Hand them to your IT team or MSP and work the plan at your pace.
