Security Breaches Key Statistics:
46% of all cyberattacks target small and midsize businesses—those most likely to underestimate their vulnerability.
A ransomware attack occurs somewhere in the world every 11 seconds.
One in every 320 emails is malicious, and the average employee receives around 120 emails per day. This means each staff member encounters 2 malicious emails every week.
95% of breaches in smaller businesses happen due to social engineering attacks, where employees are tricked into sharing passwords or clicking malicious links.
70% of small businesses that experience a major cyberattack close their doors within six months due to cashflow disruption and reputation damage.
22% of SMBs reported being unable to operate for at least 24 hours following a cybersecurity breach.
Your company has worked hard to earn the trust of clients, partners, and stakeholders. A single breach can shatter that trust overnight, leading to lost business, regulatory fines, and even bankruptcy.
How Companies Address IT Security?
To address these challenges, companies have several options to consider. Deliverables can vary widely, from automatically generated reports that may offer a false sense of security, to cost-effective assessments providing balanced and actionable security insights, all the way up to comprehensive, full-scale penetration testing.
| Automated Scanners | Cybersecurity Exposure Assessment | Penetration Testing | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope | Basic vulnerability scan | Using Multiple Automated tools + Expert review and custom reporting | 40–80 hours of manual work of IT security engineers + social hacking tests |
| Outcome | General vulnerability list | Detailed report + Zoom/Phone walkthrough with an engineer | Simulated attacks + defense strategies tested |
| Social Engineering | Not tested | Mentioned, but not deeply evaluated | Actively tested—focuses on human vulnerabilities |
| Compliance Support | Limited or template-based reports | Detailed, verified, reports explained by security engineers | Audit-ready deliverables for compliance testing |
| Cost & Time | $0–6000/y PER TOOL. Instant report. | $1900 one-time fee. Quick Delivery, written report plus Zoom call. | Cost varies on IT infrastructure. |
Every business gets serious about IT security. Some after a breach, while others proactively protect their infrastructure and staff as part of a disaster avoidance strategy. Hackers are opportunistic, preying on companies that are easy targets. Don’t wait until it’s too late. A small investment today to strengthen your businesses’ security posture, can save millions in the long run. Take control of your cybersecurity and safeguard what matters most.
Don’t stake your reputation and revenue on automated security tools.

FAQ Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers
- Automated tools run through a series of predefined tests and lack the critical thinking of a qualified security engineer. These scans typically provide limited context and may result in higher rates of false positives or missed vulnerabilities. In contrast, this assessment goes beyond automated tools combining expert judgment, manual analysis, and contextual understanding of your unique environment.
- We provide prioritized recommendations and clear guidance to support effective remediation.
- We coordinate testing schedules carefully to minimize operational downtime. Although some collaboration from your team will be necessary, we strive to ensure the assessment process remains as unobtrusive to your daily operations as possible.
- The Cybersecurity Exposure Assessment is a short security checkup designed to evaluate key security concerns. Typically completed in about a day, it focuses on a set of security issues that Vancord frequently observes across its clients. The resulting deliverable provides concise detail and actionable findings in a report approximately a dozen pages in length.
In contrast, a penetration test is a significantly more comprehensive assessment, requiring 40-80 hours of hands-on engineering work. It focuses on both the identification and exploitation of vulnerabilities, with Vancord conducting thorough tests to uncover as many vulnerabilities as possible. Techniques employed range from identification of common vulnerabilities through automated processes, to the manual identification and exploitation of organization specific misconfigurations and weaknesses. The scope of penetration testing typically encompasses systems such as servers, workstations, security cameras, and other network-connected devices. - Yes. We’re dedicating April and May of 2025 to assessing one company per day. If you act now, you’ll qualify for a 10% discount on a Penetration Test purchased within the next 30 days.
