the technology for expanded value-added services for your clients
SmartCheck can be easily installed by your team or your client’s team, on-premise, or managed remotely.
It expands the reach of security & risk management consultants by delivering verifiable technical results, and can equip your existing technical consultants to offer services in the risk management and reporting space – without requiring additional specialist staff.
As cyber posture can change on a daily basis, SmartCheck can be run at any time, to complete regular assessments. SmartCheck connects to your client’s security controls, to automatically generate an informative cyber security risk report – at weekly, monthly or other intervals. It identifies any new (or previously unaddressed) security gaps, to improve policy and security posture, as your team works with the client through remediation recommendations and activities.
