Cyber Security Rapid Resilience Review™
Client Benefits
1. Cut through conflicting reports and exposed the real cyber risk.
We couldn’t get a straight answer. In four days, they surfaced critical issues others had marked as ‘green’ and backed it all with hard evidence.

No agendas, no cover-ups. Just clear, independent reporting that held up to scrutiny and finally gave us something we could trust.

We knew we had gaps, Aerice showed us exactly where they were, how bad they were, and what to do next.
4. Revealed critical exposures no one else had flagged, including 12-month-old CVEs and SIEM blind spots.
Aerice identified live risks others had missed or misreported. This wasn’t theory, it was live exposure, backed by public scan data and real-world risk impact.
5. Delivered more usable insight in one week than months of previous partner effort.
The pace, clarity, and precision reset our expectations of what a cybersecurity partner can deliver.
6. Laid the foundations for credible, standards-aligned cyber strategy.
