What goes unseen without a cyber security assessment and penetration testing
Without regular testing, most businesses rely on assumptions about how secure they
really are.
26%
Weaknesses you do not know about
Known flaws often stay open. Verizon’s 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report found only 26% of critical vulnerabilities were fully remediated in 2025, while vulnerability exploitation is now the most common way in.

Defences that have never been tested
Controls that look sound on paper often fail under a real attempt. The UK Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025/2026 found just 13% of businesses carried out penetration testing.

Customers and auditors asking for evidence
Nearly half of large UK businesses (48%) now review the cyber risks posed by their immediate suppliers, the UK Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025/2026 found. A recent, independent assessment gives you something to show.

A good assessment replaces assumptions with a short, prioritised list your team can act on.
Introduction
Clear, prioritised risk's you can act on immediately
A cybersecurity assessment, whether vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, or a comprehensive cyber risk review, provides an independent, evidence-based view of your organisation’s true security posture. Cybit helps identify vulnerabilities, security gaps, forgotten systems, ineffective controls, and areas where documented processes do not align with employee understanding or day-to-day practice. Through technical testing, stakeholder interviews, and risk analysis, we uncover hidden exposures that could be exploited by attackers, highlighted during audits, or discovered during customer and investor due diligence. By identifying and remediating these issues early, organisations can strengthen security, improve compliance, reduce business risk, and avoid cyber weaknesses being used to delay transactions, reduce company valuations, or weaken negotiating positions during mergers, acquisitions, or business sales.
Our Delivery Framework
Why Choose Cybit
A 200 page technical output that nobody in the business can act on is a cost, not an assessment. Ours comes back prioritised and in plain English, with the business impact of each finding stated, so a board can read it and a technical team can work from it. We will also tell you where the risk is lower than you feared, which is not something a report written to sell remediation tends to include. Ask us to scope an assessment against your next audit or contract requirement.

Data
Business Driver
Verizon’s 2026 DBIR found that only 26% of CISA known exploited vulnerabilities were fully remediated by the organisations polled, down from 38% the year before, with median patching time rising to 43 days. An assessment that produces a list nobody can act on is part of that problem, not the answer to it.

Helpful Information
Frequently Asked Questions
A scan identifies known weaknesses automatically and can run frequently. A penetration test is a person actively attempting to exploit them, which finds chained and logic flaws a scan cannot. Most organisations need both, at different frequencies.
More often than most businesses do. Verizon's 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report found only 26% of critical vulnerabilities were fully remediated in 2025, so a once a year test leaves long gaps. In practice that means frequent scanning with periodic deeper testing.
Scoping establishes what is tested and when. Testing against production is scheduled and agreed, and anything genuinely disruptive is run against a non production environment.
A prioritised report you can act on, written for both a technical team and a board, plus a remediation plan.
