How It Works
Discovery & Access
- The assessment begins with scope definition, including systems, business processes, regulatory requirements, and critical assets. We identify key stakeholders, reporting preferences, and escalation contacts to ensure smooth communication.
Setup & Onboarding
- Assessment tools, methodologies, and interview schedules are configured. Security policies, prior assessments, and technical documentation are reviewed. The goal is to prepare for both technical scanning and business process evaluation.
Execution
- Technical evaluation: vulnerability scanning, configuration reviews, cloud security assessments, endpoint checks, and identity access review.
Findings Review
- All findings are validated for accuracy, relevance, and business impact. False positives are removed, and risks are assigned a severity score. Draft reports are reviewed internally before submission to the client.
Remediation Support
- Our analysts provide actionable guidance and support planning for risk mitigation. Recommendations are tailored to technical teams and leadership to ensure effective implementation.
Retest / Cadence
- Follow-up assessments confirm remediation, and periodic reviews help track risk reduction over time. Trend reporting identifies recurring vulnerabilities and systemic gaps

Risks are scored based on likelihood, business impact, regulatory relevance, and cross-departmental exposure, ensuring high-impact risks are addressed first.
"I purchased the WCAG Accessibility Report from Cyber Bark, and it helped us resolve several Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance issues on our website. What impressed me the most was that the report was priceless – it even identified typos and broken links we didn't even know we had. The Cyber Bark team did an excellent job of explaining everything clearly and telling us how to navigate the findings. She also worked directly with our web developers to ensure that the improvements were implemented correctly. Truly a great company to work with. highly recommended!"
