Security Readiness for Modern Business
Practical security assurance for small businesses.
Amethyst Assurance Group helps small businesses identify security weaknesses, reduce operational risk, and improve readiness against modern threats.
What We Do
We help owners see practical exposure before it becomes expensive.
Our flagship service, the Onsite Business Assurance Review, is built for small businesses that need a clear, nontechnical view of where they may be exposed and what should be improved first.
People, Process & Physical Exposure
We look beyond computers to identify visible and procedural weaknesses that remote reviews often miss.
- Workstation habits
- Document handling
- Vendor and access practices
Practical Cyber Hygiene
We review core readiness areas without intrusive scanning, hacking, or technical disruption.
- Password and MFA practices
- Wi-Fi and device hygiene
- Backup and recovery readiness
Our Process
A clear path from uncertainty to prioritized action.
OBAR is designed to be calm, structured, and useful. The goal is not to overwhelm your team. The goal is to identify what matters most.

What This Is Not
A practical review, not a scary technical audit.
The Onsite Business Assurance Review is not a penetration test, forensic investigation, legal review, compliance certification, cyber insurance approval, or guarantee against future incidents. It is a practical advisory review designed to help your business reduce avoidable risk and improve preparedness.
Combined Experience
