How SpyGuards works

Understand. Review. Prioritize. Advise.

01

Understand

The business, technology environment, sensitive information, current IT support and obligations.

02

Review

Security controls, configurations, evidence, ownership, third parties and material risks.

03

Prioritize

What requires attention now, next and later.

04

Advise

Leadership and IT make clear decisions, assign ownership and verify completion.

Before and after

Scattered security information becomes a decision-ready picture.

Before

  • “We think MFA is enabled.”
  • “Our MSP handles security.”
  • “The documents are somewhere.”
  • “I’m not sure who owns that.”

After the Situation Report

  • Here are the priorities.
  • Here is the owner of each one.
  • Here is what happens over the next 90 days.

That is the SpyGuards Situation Report.

Evidence over assumptions

“Configured” is not the same as verified.

Verified

Evidence supports the control.

“Backups are running. Restoration logs reviewed.”

Reported

The control is reported but not independently confirmed.

“The provider states MFA is enforced for all admins.”

Unknown

Available evidence does not establish the current state.

“No record of a recent restoration test was available.”

No evidence does not automatically mean failure. It means the current state could not be verified.

Foundation vs technical assessment

A technical assessment asks

What weaknesses can we find?

The SpyGuards Situation Report asks

As a leadership team, where do we stand, what can we prove, what matters now and who owns the next step?

These complement each other. Technical assessments surface technical weaknesses. SpyGuards helps leadership understand the wider picture, set priorities, clarify ownership and decide what happens next.

What the Situation Report is, and what it is not.

The Situation Report is

  • A security leadership review
  • An evidence-informed security picture
  • Priorities and ownership, made clear
  • A focused 90-day direction

It is not

  • Penetration testing or vulnerability scanning operations
  • SOC, MDR monitoring or ongoing security operations
  • Hands-on administration of security products
  • Compliance certification or full remediation implementation
  • 24/7 incident response

Your IT team or provider remains responsible for operating and implementing technology. Additional implementation or project work is scoped separately.

Straight answers

Questions about the Situation Report.

SpyGuards Situation Report

What exactly do I receive for $2,500?
One fixed-fee engagement producing four outputs: your Security Passport, a 90-Day Board of priorities, a Proof Pack Starter, and a Leadership Readout. Ownership is made clear throughout, and the outputs are yours to keep.
What does Verified mean?
Verified means available evidence supports the statement. Reported means you or your provider told us and we did not independently confirm it. Unknown means there is not enough information to confirm it. No evidence does not mean failure. It means Unknown.
Is this a technical assessment?
No. A technical assessment asks what weaknesses can be found. The Situation Report asks where leadership stands, what can be supported with evidence, what matters now and who owns the next step. They can complement each other, and we help scope technical work separately when it is needed.
Do I have to subscribe afterward?
No. The Situation Report is a complete engagement. You can take the outputs and continue independently, or continue with Advisory.

Next step

Do you know which security issues actually matter?

Start with an independent view of your risks, priorities, ownership and evidence. We reply within one business day.
