The Challenge
Internal IT Teams Cannot Independently Validate Their Own Security Posture.
Leadership, boards, cyber insurance underwriters, and auditors all require independent, third-party security validation. An internal team’s self-assessment — however thorough — does not satisfy that requirement. Independence is the point.
Running a formal security assessment or penetration test internally consumes weeks of staff time from an IT team that is already stretched thin managing helpdesk, infrastructure, and operations. The opportunity cost is significant.
Traditional third-party penetration testing engagements take weeks to scope, contract, and schedule. By the time results arrive, the environment has changed, patches have been applied, and the report is already partially out of date.
How Risk72 Helps
Independent External Validation. No Disruption to Your Operations.
Genuine Third-Party Independence
Risk72 is operated by Heights Consulting Group — an independent cybersecurity practice with 30 years of enterprise and SMB engagements. Every assessment is certified by a third-party analyst, satisfying board, insurer, and compliance requirements for independent external validation.
Minimal Time Investment from Your Team
The security posture questionnaire takes 45–75 minutes. Your team completes it and steps away. Our platform and analysts handle the scanning, analysis, and report production — no weekly update calls, no document production sprints, no review meetings that consume days.
External Attack Surface View Your Team Can’t Replicate
Our external penetration test and attack surface scan sees your infrastructure exactly the way a threat actor would — from the internet. This perspective is structurally impossible to replicate from inside your network, regardless of your team’s skill level or tooling.
Leadership-Ready Security Reporting
The executive summary in every Risk72 report translates technical findings into business risk language non-technical leadership can understand and act on. Use it to communicate security status, justify remediation spend, and get the right priorities funded.
