IT Assessments for California Businesses

Protect your business, stay compliant, and align IT with your goals through executive-led assessments

Your business depends on technology for almost everything. From email and collaboration tools to customer data, financial systems, and vendor management. But most California businesses don’t have a clear picture of how secure or efficient their IT really is. That’s where an IT assessment comes in.

Think of it like a medical check up for your technology. An IT assessment uncovers risks, gaps, and inefficiencies before they turn into expensive problems. Consilien’s assessments go beyond the basics. Depending on scope, they are led by our CIO or CISO, ensuring you receive an executive ready report tailored to your needs, whether that’s infrastructure, security, or compliance.

What Is an IT Assessment?

An IT assessment is a structured review of your entire technology environment. This includes systems, policies, processes, and security controls. At Consilien, we

• Benchmark your cybersecurity posture against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) (CISO-led)
• Review your IT management practices like vendor oversight, patching, and access control (CIO-led)
• Evaluate your readiness for compliance standards such as SOC, CMMC, and ISO 27001
• Identify gaps that can cause insurance denials or higher premiums
• Deliver a prioritized roadmap that connects IT investments to your business goals

We offer a strategic analysis built for executives, insurers, and auditors.

Why California Businesses Need IT Assessments Now

Cyber Insurance Hurdles

More insurers are denying coverage or increasing premiums without documented controls, risk assessments, and evidence of ongoing oversight.

California Compliance Pressure

Regulations like CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, and PCI DSS require demonstrable diligence. Informal or undocumented IT practices are no longer defensible.

Elevated Regional Cyber Risk

California organizations are frequent targets for ransomware and data breaches due to data density, revenue concentration, and regulatory exposure.

Board and Investor Expectations

Executives, boards, and investors expect IT and security risks to be actively managed and aligned with business continuity and long-term strategy.

What Our IT Assessment Covers

Our engagements are tailored, but usually include:

Cybersecurity Posture Review

Identify vulnerabilities, confirm existing controls, and recommend improvements (CISO-led).

Infrastructure & IT Management Review

Evaluate IT policies, vendor management, documentation, and governance (CIO-led).

Insurance Alignment

Document what underwriters need to reduce the risk of denial.

Compliance Readiness

Scope and pre-assessments for SOC, CMMC, and ISO 27001.

Disaster Recovery & Processes

Review inventory, patching, storage, and recovery procedures.

The Deliverable. Your Executive Roadmap

At the end of the assessment, you receive more than a technical checklist. You get an executive ready roadmap that includes:

• Gap analysis scored by business impact
• Prioritized recommendations
• Compliance and insurance evidence
• A briefing with our CIO or CISO and team for your leadership or board

This roadmap becomes your planning tool. Something you can use for budgets, compliance audits, and insurance renewals.

What is an IT assessment and why does it matter?

An IT assessment is a structured review of your technology environment, including systems, security controls, policies, and processes. It helps identify risks, gaps, and inefficiencies before they lead to security incidents, compliance failures, or insurance issues.

Most California businesses don’t know where their IT risk truly stands. An IT assessment gives you that clarity.

You’ll see where gaps exist across security, compliance, and IT management, what puts insurance or regulatory exposure at risk, and what actions matter most. If you want an executive-ready roadmap you can rely on, request your IT assessment.
