As cyber threats continue to evolve and business compliance obligations emerge, the importance of risk assessments cannot be overstated.

This keeps average sized businesses out of the loop, failing to protect themselves properly and putting millions of businesses at risk. The new platform addresses this issue by simplifying the assessment process, allowing organizations to identify vulnerabilities more efficiently in fast, easy and affordable ways. TEKCHEK® automated cyber risk assessment provides a streamlined approach to cybersecurity risk assessments, aiming to facilitate organizations in evaluating their security stance.
