If you’re like many IT and operations leaders, you know cybersecurity is important. But without an immediate compliance deadline, a new infrastructure rollout, or a recent security incident, it can be hard to know where to begin to improve your security posture. That sense of uncertainty often leads to inaction. The good news? There’s a simple, no-cost way to break the inertia.
Start with a Simple Diagnostic
Prescriptive has developed a practical self-assessment tool designed specifically for companies that want to understand their current security posture without investing days—or even hours—up front. It’s a short questionnaire that uses straightforward response options (“yes,” “no,” “maybe,” or “I don’t know”) to evaluate your environment.
This isn’t a test. It’s a starting point.
If you answer “yes” to a question, it means you’re already doing that thing. “No” highlights a gap. The more honest your answers, the more useful your results. Once complete, your responses are visualized in a simple dashboard, giving you and your team a clear picture of your security landscape.
You’re in Control of What Happens Next
The diagnostic tool doesn’t tell you exactly what to do, but it does suggest where you should focus your efforts next. Some organizations choose to move forward internally, using the results as a roadmap for self-directed improvements. Others decide to bring in a managed services provider (MSP) to help close gaps or provide additional oversight. Everyone who completes the questionnaire seems to appreciate the clarity that results from the exercise.
When Should You Consider Bringing in a Partner?
While some teams have the resources and confidence to act on the diagnostic results themselves, others find value in a second set of eyes or hands. Here are a few signs that engaging with an MSP like Prescriptive might be the right next step:
No Strings Attached, Just Clarity
Whether you act on the diagnostic findings yourself or engage outside help, the goal of this diagnostic approach is the same: clarity with as little effort as possible. Understanding your posture—and where you need to focus your efforts on improving it—is the first and most important step to strengthening it, reducing risk, and gaining operational peace of mind.
Interested in taking the assessment? Prescriptive offers it free of charge. No sales pitch, no commitment—just insight into where you stand and what you might want to do next.
