What's included in a "free" IT assessment, and what's the catch?
A genuine free assessment typically includes a scored evaluation of your current systems, a written report of risks and recommendations, and no obligation to purchase anything. The only real "catch" most reputable providers have is using it as an opportunity to start a conversation about how they could help — there's no hidden fee for the report itself.
Skepticism about "free" offers is reasonable, but in IT services the free assessment model works because it's a low-cost way for a provider to demonstrate value before asking for a commitment — it's effectively a sample of the work. The actual report and recommendations are yours to keep and act on with anyone, whether or not you ever become a client.
See for yourself — take the free assessment, no obligation attached.
