Assessments
An honest picture of what's actually happening in your technology.
Most businesses don't get an independent view of their technology until something breaks, or someone else starts asking questions — a bank, an insurer, a buyer.
A Guardian assessment is that view: what's working, what's at risk, what it's costing you, and what deserves attention first.
Which Situation Fits You?
Security & Compliance Readiness
Someone outside your company is asking — a bank, an insurer, a customer, a regulator. Or you want independent confirmation that what you believe about your controls is actually true.
Explore the review →Technology Risk & Cost Recovery
A turnaround, a workout, or an underperforming business where technology cost and exposure need to be understood on a short timeline.
Explore the assessment →M&A Technology Due Diligence
Buying, selling, merging, or carving out — and you need to know what sits behind the financials before it affects the deal.

What Every Assessment Produces
A prioritized findings report built around business impact, not technical severity — written in plain language for the people making the decision.
What matters
A ranked view of the issues, costs, and risks that deserve attention.
What we could confirm
A clear distinction between what we verified, what remains uncertain, and where more information is needed.
What to do next
Practical recommendations in an order that fits the situation.
Organized to fit the situation
Readiness review — by impact and likelihood
Cost recovery — by urgency
Due diligence — by cost and deal implications
Beyond the report
A Report Isn't Always the Finish Line
Depending on what you need, we can also do the work — writing the policies, completing the security questionnaires, planning the first hundred days, or fixing what can't wait.
That turns findings into execution without compromising the independence of the assessment itself.
Who Does the Work
Assessments are led by Jean Prejean, Principal, CISA and CISM certified, with project execution led by Wayne Speziale, Director of Operations, a certified Project Management Professional (PMP).
Not Sure Where You Stand?
Tell us what's prompting the question — a renewal, a deal, a board conversation, or a feeling that you don't have a clear picture. We'll tell you which assessment fits, or whether you need one at all.
How an assessment fits. An assessment isn't a legal opinion, a financial audit, a compliance certification, or a valuation — and we're not trying to be. It's an independent technology and operational read that feeds into decisions your other advisors are already making. We work alongside attorneys, lenders, insurers, financial advisors, and operating teams rather than replacing them.
