How long does a readiness assessment take?

Most firms need one focused working session plus a short write-up. Complex multi-site shops take longer. We tell you which before we start.

Do we have to become a managed client first?

No. The assessment stands on its own. If you want us to implement the fixes, that is a separate, named conversation.

Assessment

Know if the firm is ready — before a carrier, client, or examiner asks.

A readiness assessment is a working session with a person who will sit in the details — not a scored widget. We look at MFA, backups that actually restore, logging, and the paper trail a carrier or examiner will ask for. You leave knowing what would fail this week and the first three fixes.

Who it is for

Partners and practice managers at accounting, law, manufacturing, and care firms who keep getting the same questionnaire and do not want a last-minute scramble.

What you leave with

A plain-language score of what is in place versus what a carrier or client typically asks.
A short list of gaps, ordered by what would actually close the practice or the coverage.
A next-step plan you can put on a partner agenda — with a named person to call.

How it starts

Call or write. A person at the desk answers and books a working session.
We collect what you already have: MFA posture, backup reports, logging, last restore test.
We walk the findings with you and agree the first fixes. No surprise deck from a distant analyst.

Most firms do not fail because they have zero tools. They fail because nobody can prove MFA is on, the last backup restore is a rumor, or logging stops at a vendor portal nobody watches. A readiness assessment makes that visible in one sitting.

Manage IT NY has spent 25 years in professional practices. We ask the same questions a carrier, a client security addendum, or a CMMC assessor will ask — then we stay to fix what we found. You are not handed a PDF and a ticket number.

This is not a ransomware simulation and not a sales theater. It is a readiness conversation that starts with how the practice actually opens on Monday.
