The Quiet-Months Security Self-Check

A 15-minute self-diagnosis of the gaps that don't announce themselves.

Green — done and current Yellow — partially done or overdue, but known Red — open, unknown, or nobody owns it

The gaps that don't announce themselves

Attackers do not take a season off. They work the weeks when your team is distracted: the new initiative that has everyone's attention, the project in flight, the PTO-heavy stretch where coverage is thin.

The vulnerabilities that matter most in these stretches are rarely new. They are old ones that never got closed — the access list from a previous review cycle, the MFA exception someone meant to revisit, the vendor account nobody deactivated. Distraction does not create these gaps. It just gives them time.

This self-check takes about 15 minutes. You will look at five areas — 19 items — and rate each one honestly. The result is a plain-language picture of where an attacker would look first.

Answer for your environment as it is today. Your answers stay on this screen until you choose to submit them.

Your Security Self-Check Picture

Green

Yellow

Red

The one question that matters most: Look at every Red and ask: if an attacker had this same list, which item would they pick first? That item is your priority — not the one that is easiest to fix.

Where a conversation helps

If this check surfaced gaps you thought were closed, a short conversation with Appalachia would help you prioritize them. We help organizations close the old gaps that persist underneath new projects — and build the kind of coverage that does not depend on nobody being on vacation.

APPALACHIA IN THE NEWS: Appalachia Technologies Cited in Case Study to Improve Efficiencies and Service Delivery   Improve and Evolve - this is one of the five Core Values of Appalachia Technologies and one we believe helps us to stay at the forefront of our industry.  Our Technical Assistance Center (TAC), while performing well and delivering quality service, was being challenged by processes for documentation that were manual and outdated.  Not satisfied with the current way of doing this, Chris Swecker, Manager of TAC, began to explore IT Glue.  IT Glue centralizes information, allowing for efficiencies in response time, accuracy, and client satisfaction.  As he explains, "IT Glue became our source of truth."  Chris and his team built on the success by incorporating additional tools to assist with password rotation and a client-side tool for password management and shared documentation.
