Cybersecurity Assessment in Snellville, GA

Cybersecurity Assessment for Snellville and Metro Atlanta Businesses

Most Snellville businesses running on unpatched endpoints, shared passwords, and legacy firewall rules do not know exactly where their exposure sits until an incident forces the answer. COMNEXIA, headquartered in Roswell, GA and operating for 35 years, delivers a structured cybersecurity assessment that maps your actual attack surface, names the specific gaps, and produces a prioritized remediation plan you can act on the same week. This is not a questionnaire PDF. It is a technical audit of the controls that either stop a breach or fail to.

What a Cybersecurity Assessment Actually Covers

COMNEXIA's assessment works through four concrete layers. First, we audit your identity and access configuration inside Microsoft Entra ID, checking whether conditional access policies are enforced by device compliance, location, and sign-in risk, and whether MFA is required for every user including service accounts and break-glass admin accounts. Gaps at this layer are the leading entry point for credential-based attacks on Gwinnett County businesses. Second, we evaluate endpoint detection and response coverage, confirming whether SentinelOne EDR or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is deployed, policy-tuned, and reporting to a 24/7 SOC rather than sitting in passive detection mode. An agent installed but misconfigured provides almost no real protection.

Third, we review your backup architecture against the 3-2-1 standard: three copies of data, on two different media types, with one copy stored off-site or in immutable cloud storage. We verify that backups are actually tested with documented restore checks, not simply assumed to be running. Fourth, we examine patch cadence using your RMM platform, whether NinjaOne or ConnectWise Automate, pulling the patch compliance report to identify endpoints more than 30 days behind on OS or third-party application updates.

Regulatory Mapping Included in Every Assessment

Depending on your industry, the assessment maps findings directly to the applicable compliance framework so remediation priorities align with your legal obligations, not just general best practice.

• Auto dealerships: The FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314, effective June 2023) requires dealerships to implement a written information security program covering access controls, encryption, MFA, continuous monitoring, and incident response. COMNEXIA assesses your CDK Global, Reynolds and Reynolds, or Dealertrack environment against each of the nine required program elements and identifies which controls are missing or undocumented.
• Healthcare-adjacent businesses: If your Snellville operation handles protected health information, findings are mapped to HIPAA Security Rule administrative, physical, and technical safeguard requirements.
• Payment card environments: Merchants or service providers in scope for PCI DSS receive a gap analysis against the current PCI DSS v4.0 requirements, including network segmentation, logging, and vulnerability management controls.
• Federal contractors: Organizations pursuing or maintaining DoD contracts receive a CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 gap analysis tied to the 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices, which is the direct prerequisite for CMMC certification.

The Dealership Scenario in Snellville and Gwinnett County

Gwinnett County has a dense concentration of franchised and independent auto dealerships. A dealership running CDK Global's DMS stores nonpublic personal information including credit applications, SSNs, and income documentation for every finance customer. Under the FTC Safeguards Rule, the dealership's IT environment must include MFA on any system accessing that data, encryption in transit and at rest, and a designated qualified individual overseeing the security program. COMNEXIA's assessment documents exactly which workstations connect to the DMS, whether Microsoft Defender for Endpoint or SentinelOne is active on each one, and whether Entra ID conditional access blocks unmanaged device logins. Dealerships that complete the assessment have a written record demonstrating Safeguards Rule due diligence, which matters significantly during an FTC investigation or a lender's security audit.

What You Receive After the Assessment

COMNEXIA delivers a written report within five business days. The report identifies every finding by severity (critical, high, medium, low), names the specific system or configuration involved, references the relevant control standard, and states the exact remediation step. A critical finding does not read "improve your identity controls." It reads "Entra ID conditional access policy CA-001 is set to report-only mode, which means MFA is logged but not enforced. Set enforcement mode and assign the policy to all users except the documented break-glass account." Clients also receive a 60-minute debrief call to walk through findings and answer implementation questions before any remediation engagement begins.
