Most leaders know they need better cybersecurity & IT, but they don’t always know where to start.
Preferred delivers a Cybersecurity & Technology Assessment that reveals your current risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities — giving you the insight to make confident decisions.
This is where strategy begins.
Our assessment helps you understand how technology supports (or hinders) your business goals, where gaps exist, and how to close them before they become costly.

Assessments that convert insight into action
Technology decisions are too important to make on assumptions. Many organizations operate with invisible risks: outdated infrastructure, misaligned cybersecurity tools, compliance gaps, or unmanaged vendors.
Preferred’s Cybersecurity & Technology Assessment gives you the visibility and clarity to lead strategically — not reactively. We uncover where your business stands today, how it compares to industry benchmarks, and what it will take to reach your next level of performance and protection.
Our process combines technical analysis, cybersecurity expertise, and business strategy.
You don’t just get a list of issues. You get a roadmap that ties every recommendation to measurable business outcomes.
We start by learning about your business: your goals, operations, users, and regulatory environment.
Then we perform a deep technical and cybersecurity analysis of your existing systems.
Assessment Includes:
Infrastructure and network analysis
Endpoint and server security evaluation
Backup and business continuity validation
Applications and collaboration assessment
Compliance review (CMMC, HIPAA, PCI, cyber insurance)
Vendor and cloud environment review
This gives us a full picture of your IT and cybersecurity ecosystem.
Next, we quantify risk.
Preferred assigns a Cybersecurity & Technology Maturity Score that benchmarks your environment against cybersecurity frameworks and best practices.
We Measure:
Cybersecurity posture and threat exposure
IT performance and system resilience
Alignment with business strategy and goals
Regulatory and insurance readiness
You’ll see exactly where you stand and how you compare to organizations of similar size and industry.
This is where we bring leadership into the conversation.
Preferred’s BCTR turns your assessment into a clear, executive-level plan that connects cybersecurity, IT, and business outcomes.
Your BCTR Includes:
Executive summary with prioritized recommendations
Technology and cybersecurity roadmap
Budget and resource forecasting
Quick-win and long-term strategy plan
Clear, business level presentation to your leadership team
We help you make informed, strategic decisions, and not just technical fixes.
After the assessment, you’ll have a complete understanding of your technology environment and next steps.
Some clients use this plan internally or with another IT partner. Others choose to partner with Preferred for implementation and ongoing management.
Either way, the goal is the same: turning IT and cybersecurity from a liability into a business advantage.
“Preferred’s assessment showed us exactly where we stood — and what to do next. It was the clarity we’d been missing.”
