FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a cyber security audit?
A cyber security audit is an independent review of your IT systems, identifying weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers. GWBrix reviews your network, devices, email, user accounts, cloud services, and software — then delivers a clear report with a prioritised action plan to address every finding.
How long does a security audit take?
For most small to medium businesses, a GWBrix security audit takes between half a day and a full day on-site or remotely, depending on the size and complexity of your setup. The written report and walkthrough are typically delivered within a few days of the audit being completed.
Do I need a security audit if I already have antivirus?
Yes — antivirus is just one layer of security. A security audit looks at your entire posture, including network configuration, email security, password policies, user access controls, and cloud service settings. Many of the most damaging breaches exploit weaknesses that antivirus software cannot detect or prevent.
Can a security audit help with Cyber Essentials certification?
Yes. GWBrix can use the audit process to assess your readiness for Cyber Essentials, identifying any gaps that would prevent you from achieving certification and helping you address them before applying. Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed standard that demonstrates basic cyber security controls are in place.
How much does a cyber security audit cost?
Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your IT environment. GWBrix provides a clear, upfront quote before any work begins. Get in touch for a free initial conversation and we will give you an accurate cost based on your specific situation — no obligation.
