Vulnerability and Risk Assessment

Many businesses in Los Angeles are operating without a clear understanding of their cybersecurity exposure. Threats continue to grow more sophisticated, but most organizations don’t realize how vulnerable they are until it’s too late.

Every new SaaS account, firewall rule, or vendor integration adds another path into your business.  A successful attack doesn’t just impact IT systems—it can disrupt operations, erode customer trust, and lead to financial and legal consequences.

At Purple Shield Security, we help business owners, executives, and leadership teams take a proactive approach. Our vulnerability and risk assessment service is designed to uncover weaknesses before they’re exploited and give you a clear picture of where you stand. We don’t rely on assumptions or generic checklists. Every assessment is tailored to your specific environment, risk profile, and regulatory obligations.

Why a Structured Assessment Matters

  1. Reveals your true risk profile—using evidence, not industry guesswork.
  2. Channels budget to the biggest pay-offs by ranking gaps on business impact and remediation effort.
  3. Builds one set of artefacts for auditors and insurers by mapping findings to NIST 800-53, CIS 18, HIPAA, HITRUST, and PCI-DSS in a single project.
  4. Hardens both cloud and on-premise environments—the most common footholds attackers exploit across organisations in Los Angeles.
  5. Speeds up detection and response by supplying incident-ready playbooks tied to each critical weakness.
  6. Creates a measurable security baseline so you can track year-over-year improvement and prove ROI to the board.
  7. Strengthens your hand with cyber-insurance carriers by documenting due diligence and risk-reduction steps.
  8. Aligns executives and engineers by translating technical findings into plain-language business outcomes.

Vulnerability & Risk Assessment Services

  1. Full-scope asset discovery & vulnerability scanning—endpoint, network, cloud, SaaS, IoT, and third-party connections are enumerated to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
  2. Context-aware risk prioritisation—threat intelligence, exploit maturity, and asset criticality are layered onto raw CVE data so you see the ~3 % of issues that actually drive 97 % of risk. 
  3. Framework-aligned gap analysis—findings are mapped to NIST 800-53, CIS 18, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS controls, giving auditors and insurers a single source of truth. 
  4. External attack-surface validation—DNS footprinting, open-service enumeration, and proof-of-exploit tests show how an outsider could gain that first foothold.
  5. Internal lateral-movement simulation—privilege-escalation and service-chaining scenarios trace attacker paths from a compromised workstation to crown-jewel data.
  6. Security-configuration benchmarking—on-prem and cloud workloads are checked against CIS hardening baselines to flag weak defaults and drift. 
  7. Business-impact modelling—a cyber-impact matrix ties each vulnerability to downtime, revenue loss, regulatory fines, and brand damage, turning tech risk into dollar terms.
  8. Actionable mitigation roadmap—ranked by criticality, complete with phase timelines, budget ranges, and named owners so fixes don’t stall.
  9. Human-factor review—measures phishing susceptibility, insider-threat indicators, and access-control hygiene to close the people gap.
  10. Continuous exposure monitoring & scheduled reassessments—automated scans run between formal reviews to keep pace with new assets and CVEs.
  11. Executive-ready reporting & board briefings—technical depth for engineers, decision-grade insights for CFOs and directors.
  12. Post-remediation validation—optional retest proves risk reduction and satisfies insurance or compliance evidence requirements.

Law Offices of Gerald Lunn

We worked with few MSP in the past that considered themselves security experts. But after having many security breaches and issues, we decided to hire an actual cybersecurity company. This has been one of the best decisions we have made. There is a huge difference between a MSP that thinks they know security and an actual cybersecurity company. Make the right decision and hire Purple Shield security.
