CYBER DEFENSE
How our assessments work.
A clear, six-step process with written authorization before anything is touched and a qualified person behind every finding.
01
Free scoping call.
A 20-minute conversation about your business, systems and goals. No access to your systems is needed. We recommend the right level.
02
Proposal and written authorization.
You receive a proposal with the scope, schedule and what is covered. Nothing is tested until you sign an agreement and a written authorization listing exactly which systems we may assess.
03
Collection day, on-site or remote.
We confirm permission, find every device on your network, run a gentle test first, then complete our scans and reviews inside the agreed window. Anything urgent is reported to you before we leave.
04
Analysis with Claude Mythos 5.1 and expert review.
We remove passwords and personal details, then use Mythos to connect and rank the findings. A Labrodex professional verifies each finding, and a second reviewer checks the serious ones.
05
Report and walkthrough.
You get a plain-English report: what we checked, what we verified, what we could not assess, and a prioritized 30/60/90-day fix plan. We walk your team through it.
06
Fix and follow up.
We can fix the findings, or hand the plan to your IT provider. Retests, quarterly rechecks and ongoing protection keep you on track.
FAQ
What is Claude Mythos 5.1?
Claude Mythos 5.1 is Anthropic's most capable AI model for cybersecurity. Access is limited to vetted security organizations through Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program, and Labrodex is a verified participant with Defense Access. We use it to analyze the evidence our tools collect.
Does AI make the decisions?
No. Mythos helps us analyze faster and more thoroughly, but a qualified Labrodex professional verifies every finding, and a second reviewer checks the serious ones before the report reaches you.
Will the assessment disrupt our work?
We agree a testing window with you, start with a gentle test on a few computers, and stop immediately if anything slows down. Systems you mark as off-limits are never touched.
Do you need our passwords?
For the most accurate results we ask for a temporary account for our scans. Passwords never go into AI tools, and the temporary account is removed when we finish.
What happens to our data?
We collect security settings and scan results, not your business files, email content or business records. Evidence is encrypted and deleted 30 days after your report unless you ask us to keep it. Information we send to Mythos is cleaned of passwords and personal details first, and Anthropic retains it under its program terms for safety monitoring.
Is this a penetration test?
No. We find and confirm weaknesses without exploiting them. If your insurer or regulator requires a penetration test, we can arrange one through a specialist partner.
Can you guarantee we are secure or malware-free?
No honest assessment can. We report exactly what we verified, what we could not verify, and what was not assessed, so you know where you stand.
Do we have to use Labrodex to fix what you find?
No. Our report is written so any capable IT provider can act on it. We are happy to do the work if you would like us to.
Do you work with businesses in regulated industries?
Yes. Our assessment focuses on security, which every business needs. If your industry has specific requirements, tell us at the start and we’ll scope a focused review. An assessment is not a compliance certification.
Do you work on-site or remotely?
Both. Most first assessments begin with an on-site visit. Follow-ups can be done remotely, with no VPN required.
What do we need to prepare?
A short intake form: your internet provider, main equipment, computers and servers, cloud services, security software and who can authorize testing. If you don't know some answers, we find them during the assessment.
How is this different from Labrodex's AI consulting?
Our AI consulting helps organizations decide where AI fits and put it to work responsibly. Cyber Defense Assessments are a separate service that examines your network, devices and accounts for security weaknesses.
