Assessments
Business Email Compromise Risk Assessment
Review email authentication, MFA, payment process, and awareness controls that reduce BEC exposure.
Why this matters
Review email authentication, MFA, payment process, and awareness controls that reduce BEC exposure. The goal is not to create noise. The goal is to turn a visible security signal into a clear next action a business owner, MSP, or IT lead can understand.
Breach Horizon principle
Start with public evidence, explain the business impact, then recommend the safest next step.
What to check
- Confirm the public signal exists and is current.
- Record the evidence in a way another person can validate.
- Separate urgent exposure from normal hygiene work.
- Link the finding to a remediation guide, tool, or assessment.
Recommended workflow
- Run the check or read the assessment criteria.
- Save the visible evidence.
- Decide whether the finding affects email trust, web trust, identity, backup, or compliance evidence.
- Fix the highest-confidence issue first.
- Re-test and document the new result.
