What it is

What a cybersecurity assessment covers

A cybersecurity assessment is a structured, evidence-based review of how well your controls actually protect the business, scored against CIS Controls v8.1 and the CCCS baseline. It looks at identity, endpoints, email, network, backup, and compliance together, the way an attacker, an auditor, or an insurer does, not one system at a time.

It is not the same as a vulnerability scan. A vulnerability assessment points an automated tool at your network and lists missing patches and open ports. A cybersecurity assessment includes that scan, then adds the human review a scanner cannot do: whether your backups are actually immutable and restore-tested, whether MFA is enforced everywhere it matters, and who owns the dozen stale Microsoft 365 accounts nobody has signed into in a year. The scan tells you what is unpatched; the assessment tells you what is exploitable.

Most teams book a cybersecurity assessment for one of two reasons: an insurer, auditor, or board is asking for documented proof the controls work, or they want an independent baseline before betting the next decision on instinct.

What we review

168 checkpoints across six domains

A full evaluation of your security posture, written for decision-makers, not just technicians.

  • Identity & access

    MFA coverage, Microsoft Entra ID hygiene, Conditional Access, and the orphaned or over-privileged accounts an attacker enumerates first.

  • Endpoints

    EDR coverage, BitLocker, patch lag against CIS v8.1, and unmanaged devices that never report to monitoring.

  • Email & phishing

    DMARC, DKIM and SPF, impersonation protection, and Microsoft Purview labels that stop oversharing before a breach surfaces it.

  • Network & firewall

    Firewall rulesets, segmentation, VPN posture, and the exposed RDP or edge services that show up on an external scan.

  • Backup & recovery

    Immutability, restore testing, and air-gapping, the controls that decide whether ransomware is a bad day or a business-ending one.

  • Compliance & CIS

    A CIS Controls v8.1 and CCCS baseline gap analysis mapped to PIPEDA, PHIPA, SOC 2, and the evidence insurers ask for at renewal.

The deliverable

A board-readable report in about two weeks

You get a written report with risk scores, a vulnerability scan, and a list of fixes ranked by real risk. It is built for decision-makers, and it is yours to act on with any provider.

Every finding is mapped to CIS Controls v8.1 and the CCCS baseline, so the report reads in the language an auditor, an insurer, or an incoming security lead already knows.

Why it matters now

The evidence Canadian SMBs are missing

  • IBM Cost of a Data Breach, 2025

    $6.98M average Canadian breach

    A documented assessment is the entry point for the controls insurers and regulators now require.

  • CIRA Cybersecurity Survey, 2025

    24% hit by ransomware

    Most SMBs cannot show the MFA, EDR, and backup evidence underwriters demand at renewal.

  • Statistics Canada, 2023

    Only 59% identify cyber risk

    Four in ten Canadian businesses run with no documented risk register or control-framework mapping.

Who it is for

You do not need to be in crisis

Most teams that book an assessment share one of these four situations.

  • Post-incident

    You had a breach, ransomware scare, or near-miss and need to know what is still exposed.

  • Compliance-driven

    An auditor, insurer, or board wants documented proof your controls are actually in place.

  • Switching providers

    You are leaving your current MSP and want an independent baseline before onboarding anyone new.

  • Insurance renewal

    Your cyber-insurance renewal requires a current assessment or risk evaluation, on a deadline.

  • I called Fusion in a panic at 9pm on a Friday. By Monday morning our team walked in and got back to work like nothing happened. Every file recovered. No ransom paid.

  • We went from 35 to 70 employees in under a year. Every new hire needed a laptop, accounts, and security configured within 48 hours. Fusion handled every onboarding without us having to micromanage it.

CISSP-led leadership

Mike Pearlstein, CISSP, CEO and CISO

“Most Metro Vancouver SMBs I audit operate under two overlapping regimes at once, PIPEDA for anything leaving the province and BC PIPA for what stays inside it, often with a SOC 2 commitment signed for a US customer. The gap is almost always the same, no evidence of continuous control monitoring. Closing that single gap is usually worth more than a full tooling refresh.”
