IT Security Assessment
Find out exactly where your business is exposed, at no cost, with no obligation.
What an IT Security Assessment Covers and Why Timing Matters
Kenneally Technology Services is a licensed business information technology provider serving Towson, Baltimore, and the surrounding Maryland region, with over 25 years of experience supporting small to medium-sized businesses. An IT security assessment is a structured review of a business's technology environment, covering networks, endpoints, access controls, software vulnerabilities, and data handling practices. It is carried out to identify weaknesses before an attacker or system failure can exploit them.
Most businesses that need an assessment fall into a recognisable pattern: they've never had one, they recently changed IT providers, they've added remote workers or cloud tools, or they've noticed unexplained system behaviour. Any of these conditions is enough to warrant a current review. Every week without one is a week operating on assumptions about security that may no longer hold.
The process starts with a conversation about how your business uses technology and what it needs to protect. We then review the network infrastructure, check endpoint security configurations, evaluate access controls and password policies, identify unpatched software or outdated hardware, and document every finding. The output is a clear, actionable report, not a stack of technical jargon.
Complexity scales with network size, endpoint count, and data sensitivity, but Kenneally Technology Services offers a free initial IT security assessment, so cost is not a reason to delay. The only cost of waiting is the exposure you don't yet know about.
Every Area We Review During Your IT Security Assessment
An IT security assessment is only as useful as what it actually examines. We review every layer of your technology environment, not just the obvious entry points.
Network Infrastructure Review
We examine firewall configurations, router and switch settings, and open ports that could provide unauthorised access. An unconfigured firewall is an unlocked door, and we identify which ones need to be closed.
Endpoint Security Configuration
Every desktop, laptop, and mobile device connecting to your business network is a potential entry point. We check whether antivirus, encryption, and update policies are active and correctly configured on every endpoint.
Access Controls and User Permissions
We review who has access to what, including whether former employees still hold active credentials. Unrestricted access is one of the most common and most preventable causes of a data incident.
Password Policies and Authentication Practices
Weak or reused passwords remain the leading cause of unauthorized account access. We evaluate current password policies and check whether multi-factor authentication (MFA) is in place for critical systems.
Unpatched Software and Outdated Hardware
Software vulnerabilities that manufacturers have already patched are a favorite target for attackers. We identify every device and application running on outdated versions and flag those that represent active risk.
Data Handling and Storage Practices
We review how sensitive business and customer data is stored, transmitted, and backed up. Poorly managed data is both a compliance risk and an operational one, especially for businesses handling financial records or health information.

A Free Assessment With No Obligation
The free IT security assessment is not a sales call dressed up as a review. It is a genuine technical evaluation that produces a written report the business owner can act on, with or without Kenneally Technology Services. We offer it free because we're confident that once a business owner sees what we find, they'll want to fix it, and we'll be the first call they make.
IT Security Assessment Questions Baltimore Business Owners Ask
How long does an IT security assessment take for a small business?
Most IT security assessments for a small business with five to twenty employees and a single office location take between two and four hours on-site, plus time to prepare the written findings report. More complex environments with multiple locations or cloud platforms may take longer. Kenneally Technology Services will give you a time estimate before we begin.
Does my business need an IT security assessment if we haven't had any breaches?
Yes. Most data breaches and network intrusions go undetected for weeks or months before any visible disruption occurs. An IT security assessment identifies vulnerabilities before they're exploited, not after. Waiting for a breach to confirm a problem is the most expensive way to discover one.
What happens after the IT security assessment is complete?
After the assessment, we produce a written report that documents every vulnerability found, rates each one by risk level, and recommends specific fixes in order of priority. You own the report and can act on it immediately, with us, with another provider, or on your own schedule.
Is the free IT security assessment really free, or is there a catch?
The assessment is genuinely free with no obligation. We don't charge a fee, require a contract, or use the session as a disguised sales presentation. We conduct a real technical review and deliver a real written report. If you want to take the next step with us afterward, that's your decision to make.
