Cybersecurity Risk Assessment (CSRA)
The CSRA is AM3's free, no-obligation starting point for every engagement. A comprehensive, NIST-aligned evaluation of your security posture that produces a prioritized 30/60/90-day roadmap tailored to your environment.
What Is the AM3 Cybersecurity Risk Assessment?
The CSRA is AM3's free, no-obligation starting point for every engagement. It is a comprehensive, NIST-aligned evaluation of your organization's security posture that produces a prioritized 30/60/90-day roadmap tailored to your environment, your industry, and your risk tolerance.
This is not a sales pitch disguised as an assessment. It is a genuine evaluation that gives you actionable findings whether you become an AM3 client or not. We lead with value because we believe the roadmap speaks for itself.
Most organizations that complete a CSRA choose to work with AM3. Not because of pressure, but because the clarity it provides makes the decision obvious.
Why Start With a Risk Assessment Instead of a Quote?
When you request a quote from an IT provider, they are estimating cost before understanding your environment. That leads to generic proposals that over-provision some areas and under-protect others.
The CSRA flips this process. Before we talk about pricing, we understand your environment. Before we recommend solutions, we identify your actual risks. The result is a proposal that addresses your real needs, not a vendor's standard package.
What Does the CSRA Evaluate?
The CSRA is structured around the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, the gold standard for security assessment.
Identify
What Are You Protecting and Where Are the Gaps?
We inventory your assets, data flows, and regulatory requirements. We map what you have against what you need, identifying gaps in visibility and governance.
Protect
How Are You Defending What Matters?
We evaluate your access controls, data security measures, protective technology, and training programs. Multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection, email filtering, backup integrity, and policy documentation.
Detect
How Would You Know if Something Went Wrong?
We assess your monitoring capabilities, anomaly detection, and security event collection. Can you detect unauthorized access? Would you know if credentials were compromised?
Respond
What Happens When an Incident Occurs?
We review your incident response plan, communication protocols, and forensic readiness. If an attack happened today, who would you call? What would you do first?
Recover
How Do You Get Back to Normal?
We examine your backup strategy, disaster recovery plan, and business continuity measures. How long would it take to restore operations? Have you tested your recovery process?
What Is the CSRA Process?
The assessment is designed to be thorough without disrupting your operations.
Step 1: Scheduling and Scoping (Day 1)
You contact AM3 at 786-310-3456 or info@am3-it.com. We schedule a brief call to understand your business, industry, and primary concerns.
Step 2: Discovery and Data Collection (Days 2-5)
We gather information about your environment: network diagrams, current security tools, compliance requirements, user counts, and cloud services. This is done through questionnaires and a non-invasive scan of your external-facing assets.
Step 3: Analysis and Evaluation (Days 5-10)
Our team analyzes the data against the NIST framework, identifying vulnerabilities, configuration weaknesses, and gaps in your security posture. We prioritize findings based on risk severity and business impact.
Step 4: Roadmap Delivery (Day 10-14)
You receive a detailed report with a 30/60/90-day roadmap. Quick wins are prioritized for the first 30 days. Structural improvements follow in the 60 and 90-day windows. Each recommendation includes a clear explanation of why it matters and what happens if you do not address it.
Step 5: Discussion and Decision
We walk through the findings together, answer your questions, and discuss next steps. There is no pressure. The roadmap is yours to keep, whether you work with AM3 or not.
Who Is the CSRA For?
How Is the CSRA Different From a Vulnerability Scan?
A vulnerability scan identifies technical weaknesses: unpatched software, open ports, misconfigured firewalls. It is useful but incomplete.
The CSRA includes vulnerability assessment but goes much further. We evaluate your policies, procedures, training, incident response readiness, and regulatory compliance alongside technical findings. The CSRA gives you a holistic view of your security, not just a list of CVEs.
What Happens After the CSRA?
You have the roadmap. You decide what to implement and when. If you choose to work with AM3, we build a managed services agreement around the CSRA findings. If you prefer to implement the recommendations internally or with another provider, you are free to do so.
Most organizations that complete the CSRA choose AM3 because the roadmap aligns with our services and the assessment demonstrates the depth of our expertise. But the decision is always yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CSRA really free?
Yes. There is no cost and no obligation. We provide the assessment and the roadmap at no charge. Our philosophy is that giving you clarity on your risk creates trust, and trust creates lasting partnerships.
How long does the CSRA take?
The full process typically takes 10 to 14 business days from initial scoping to roadmap delivery. The time investment on your end is minimal: a scoping call, questionnaire completion, and a review meeting.
What industries benefit most from the CSRA?
Any South Florida SMB that handles sensitive data benefits from the CSRA. We most commonly serve financial institutions, mortgage companies, accounting firms, law offices, nonprofits, and healthcare-adjacent businesses. These organizations face regulatory pressure and high-value targets, making the assessment especially valuable.
