What Our Customers Are Saying
A Path Towards Securing My Network!
These reports showed me a path towards securing my network. They provided actionable, easy-to-bite-off tasks that made cybersecurity manageable. Galactic’s easy-to-read reports helped me understand the key components of making sure my credit union is secure. They’ve given me the tools and understanding to ensure critical IT security gets done right. I can’t say enough positive comments about Galactic’s process. I’d highly recommend others take advantage of their security assessment.
—Susan Tant, CEO, Health Services Credit Union
A Thorough And Eye-Opening Experience
Data breaches and ransomware are frequently in the news these days, and when I heard Bruce speak at an event for accountants and offer to do an assessment, I jumped at the opportunity. They were very thorough and had to pour through a lot of data, but when they were done, the result was an impressive report. Galactic Advisors produced reports to explain the results in a way that even a non-technical person such as myself could understand. Their assessment of our company pointed out our vulnerabilities and now has us discussing how we are going to handle these issues, which was long overdue for us. I would highly recommend Galactic to anyone looking to get a cybersecurity assessment done.
—Bob Schmitt, CFO, Deppman
Galactic Makes Security Approachable
The most sophisticated technology in the world is rendered useless if employees circumvent it, and Galactic focuses heavily on the need for social engineering and email training for all associates with access to employer systems. I would highly recommend Galactic Advisors to anyone concerned with maintaining the integrity of their sensitive network information. Their insight and experience can help put a price tag on an organization’s failure to secure its systems.
—Robert Mayes, Chairman, Greater Ann Arbor Society for Human Resource Management
Quick, Easy, And Painless
This wasn’t just another HIPAA risk assessment. Galactic thoroughly evaluated our infrastructure and configurations, answered my team’s detailed questions, and provided invaluable recommendations to confront growing ransomware risks. The reports provided clear feedback for critical improvements we made on the same day as the assessment. I highly recommend Galactic to other CIOs on the fence about getting a cybersecurity assessment. I know it made a difference for my facility and my team.
—Steve Miller, CIO, Baptist South Medical Center
Even A Security Conscious Person Will Benefit From This Assessment
In spite of my cautious approach to IT security, the reports showed me how a hacker can easily access my information. He used a simple scan that took less than three minutes. Galactic discovered more information than I would have wanted them to find—like access to our work passwords. They also identified some WiFi addresses I had used in the past, leaving our organization vulnerable through my personal laptop. On the spot, I received recommendations to resolve these problems. I have already recommended our accountant consider conducting the same scan.
—Amy Heydlauff, R.N., MHSA, CEO, 5 Healthy Towns Foundation
Do You Have Cyber Security Questions?
Prevent breaches by enhancing cyber hygiene and addressing vulnerabilities. Take a three-pronged approach that includes investing in advanced security solutions (like MFA and zero-trust models), engaging third-party assessments for objective vulnerability reviews, and training staff on cybersecurity best practices.
A comprehensive program covers:
- Quarterly Internal Penetration Tests: To identify exploitable weaknesses from within.
- Monthly External Vulnerability Scans: To detect potential entry points hackers could exploit.
- Quarterly Internal Vulnerability Scans: To find exploits a hacker might use once inside.
- Quarterly PII Identification: To safeguard sensitive personal data.
- Quarterly Administrative Group Analysis: To ensure proper access permissions.
- Quarterly M365 Analysis: To identify and resolve potential cloud security issues.
Regular third-party assessments are crucial for safeguarding assets. TEAM offers three levels of assessments — L1 (basic scan), L2 (detailed analysis), and L3 (comprehensive evaluation) — to provide insights into security posture, identify weaknesses, and promote informed decisions.
Start with TEAM’s initial L1 Vulnerability Scan. It takes 25 minutes to set up and scan up to five user devices. Following the scan, we’ll schedule a follow-up call to discuss our findings. Contact us today!
