FAQ

Common Questions

What is included in a cybersecurity assessment?
We tailor the scope to your environment and goals. A typical engagement reviews identity and access, Microsoft 365 and Azure configuration, endpoint practices, data protection, backup and recovery, governance, and incident readiness. You receive prioritized findings and a practical remediation roadmap.
How does the assessment process work?
We begin with a discovery session, agree on scope and access methods, review the relevant technology and documentation, validate findings with your team, and present clear priorities and next steps. The exact schedule depends on the size and complexity of the environment.
Do you need administrator access?
Not by default. We agree on the least-privilege approach appropriate for the engagement, which may include interviews, configuration exports, screen-sharing, or time-limited read-only access. Any access requirements are documented before work begins.
Which security frameworks can you support?
Polaris can help organizations prepare for frameworks and expectations such as CIS Controls, NIST CSF, CMMC, SOC 2, and ISO 27001. A readiness review is advisory and does not replace an independent certification or audit.
Can Polaris help implement the recommendations?
Yes. Remediation support can be included in a managed IT engagement or scoped as a separate project. We can help prioritize work, coordinate owners and vendors, and guide implementation through completion.
