Frequently asked questions

If you are unsure what is exposed, start with the Free Domain Risk Check. If you already need a vendor-ready action plan, start the Cyber Risk Snapshot. If you want CyberBit to help implement fixes, request a Security Hardening Sprint.

CyberBit provides fixed-scope cybersecurity help for small professional-service firms and individuals. The focus is practical: public-signal scans, DNS/email/security-header review, plain-English reports, cyber insurance readiness, questionnaire support, workspace/access hygiene, and basic hardening.

No. CyberBit's entry offers are fixed-scope reviews and hardening services. They are not full compliance audits, penetration tests, SOC monitoring, MDR, or breach-response retainers.

A $199 plain-English PDF report that reviews public-facing domain, DNS, email-authentication, TLS, and website security-header signals. It summarizes visible gaps, ranks priority fixes, and gives a checklist your web vendor, IT provider, or internal team can act on.

The Snapshot is built to be useful to both non-technical owners and the vendor or IT team doing the work.

• Domain reviewed
• Public posture summary
• Top findings and severity
• Why each issue matters
• Priority fix order
• Exact DNS/email/security-header checklist
• Plain-English next steps
• Optional credit toward a Security Hardening Sprint within 30 days

Yes. The sample report shows the style, prioritization, and plain-English handoff format using anonymized or fictional details.

Delivered within 5 business days after required intake details and payment are received.

Yes. If you book an eligible Security Hardening Sprint or productized service within 30 days, the $199 Snapshot can be credited toward that service.

No. The Snapshot is based on public signals and context you provide. Do not send passwords, recovery codes, API keys, or private credentials.

It checks public signals such as MX, SPF, DMARC, website reachability, TLS availability, and common website security headers. It uses public DNS lookups and a basic HTTPS HEAD request where applicable.

Yes. The scan is public-signal only. It does not attempt logins, credential testing, exploit testing, port scanning, or account access.

It shows the public IP address and basic connection/browser details visible to websites. It does not scan your device, test your router, check for malware, or prove anonymity.

It is a basic browser/network visibility tool that can show your public IP and, where supported, browser-exposed connection signals. It does not prove anonymity, guarantee VPN safety, scan your device, or perform exploit testing. Full DNS leak detection requires resolver-observation infrastructure.

Because exact DNS and email-authentication changes depend on your provider, approved senders, and hosting setup. Incorrect copy-paste records can break email or websites. The paid Snapshot provides the exact checklist after context is confirmed.

A low score means public controls are missing or could not be verified. It does not automatically mean you were hacked. It means there are visible items worth reviewing and prioritizing.

A fixed-scope implementation service where CyberBit helps address priority fixes such as DNS setup, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, website security headers, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace basics, MFA, backups, and access cleanup.

The final scope depends on the number of domains, platforms, users, and systems involved. CyberBit confirms scope before you pay.

Depending on the platform and access model, CyberBit may guide the changes over screen share, work from a checklist, coordinate with your vendor, or use delegated access where available. Passwords should not be sent by email.

No. The Security Hardening Sprint is implementation and configuration cleanup. It is not exploit testing, unauthorized scanning, or a penetration test.

A fixed-scope service for businesses that received a security questionnaire from a client, insurer, vendor-risk team, or partner and need credible responses fast.

CyberBit helps organize accurate answers, identify gaps, and draft response language based on your current setup. The business owner or authorized representative should review and approve final answers.

Yes. CyberBit can distinguish between controls that are currently in place, partially in place, planned, or not applicable. The goal is credible answers, not false claims.

Typically 3-5 business days after receiving the questionnaire and required context.

No. CyberBit Solutions does not sell, place, underwrite, or broker insurance. The readiness review is a fixed-scope cybersecurity documentation and evidence-gap review.

No. Approval depends on the insurer, broker, underwriting process, and the business's actual controls. CyberBit can help you understand common control questions, evidence gaps, and priority fixes, but it cannot guarantee approval or lower premiums.

CyberBit can help interpret questions, identify evidence, and draft supportable response language. Final answers should be reviewed and approved by the business owner, broker, legal advisor, or insurance professional where appropriate.

CyberBit will not fabricate controls or tell you to claim a control exists if it does not. The readiness review documents the gap and recommends a practical fix plan, which can be scoped into a Security Hardening Sprint when implementation help is needed.

No. It is a fixed-scope readiness review and action plan, not a formal audit, certification, legal opinion, or insurance advice.

A lightweight monthly oversight service after a Snapshot or Sprint. It checks public signals and priority follow-up items so basic controls stay visible and reviewed.

No. It is not SOC, MDR, endpoint monitoring, incident response, or around-the-clock alerting. It is lightweight recurring oversight for public signals and agreed follow-up items.

Businesses that completed a Snapshot or Sprint and want basic accountability without a full MSP or enterprise security contract.

No. CyberBit does not sell, broker, underwrite, or recommend insurance policies. Personal Cyber Lockdown is a cybersecurity setup and guidance service that helps reduce common personal digital risks.

No. Do not send passwords, recovery codes, backup codes, SSNs, bank details, or private credentials. You stay in control of your accounts during the guided session.

Choose Account Compromise Triage. CyberBit prioritizes securing your primary email, identity accounts, login sessions, MFA, recovery settings, and high-risk accounts first.

Password Manager + MFA Setup is narrow and focused on login security. Personal Cyber Lockdown is broader and includes account recovery settings, device basics, privacy exposure, and a wider personal risk checklist.

Personal Cyber Lockdown is for one person. Family Cyber Safety Setup adds household context, shared devices, parent/child accounts, location-sharing, and family recovery planning.

No. No legitimate cybersecurity service can guarantee that. CyberBit reduces common risks and gives you practical next steps.

No. Never send passwords, recovery codes, API keys, private keys, or sensitive credentials through the site or by email.

Preferred options include screen share while you log in, delegated access where the platform supports it, or a checklist your IT/web provider implements.

No. CyberBit only works on accounts, domains, and systems you own or are authorized to manage.

No. CyberBit Solutions is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by NIST or any government agency. CyberBit may reference public guidance from NIST, CISA, and platform providers when creating plain-English recommendations.

Free scan results are generated from public signals and returned in your browser. CyberBit may also store the submitted domain and scan summary internally to review scan activity and identify follow-up opportunities. The scan does not require account login or private credentials. Do not submit private credentials or sensitive data.

Small businesses need clear scope, clear price, and clear deliverables. Fixed-fee services avoid open-ended discovery and make it easier to decide.

Yes, but CyberBit confirms scope before payment when work falls outside a listed fixed-scope offer.

Yes. CyberBit is New York–based and supports small businesses remotely worldwide.

You will receive or complete the relevant intake path first. After checkout, Stripe sends a receipt to the email used during payment. CyberBit follows up using that email with the next step, report, or scope confirmation depending on the service.
