DFS requires EVERYONE*
to perform a
Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
*there are no exemptions!
What is a Risk Assessment?
A cybersecurity assessment is a digital check-up for your business.
Just like a doctor’s visit reveals health concerns, this assessment uncovers security gaps, and assesses how serious the risks are.
It gives you a clear plan to strengthen your defenses, keep your data safe, your business compliant, and your customers’ trust intact.
What will YOU get from a Risk Assessment?
Where your cybersecurity stands today and whether or not it is adequate against modern threats
Know for sure if your network would withstand an attack (even on one machine!)
Determine where sensitive data is stored
on your devices and make sure it’s being guarded
Whether your firewalls are configured correctly and report issues if they did not appropriately alarm
Learn whether your network has vulnerabilities resulting from patch management issues
Find out if you have Serious Data Leaks
Determine Your Malware Defenses
Discover if you have proper Data Encryption enabled
Receive Expert Information To Inform Your Cybersecurity Decision Making for YOUR
Unique Business Needs
Watch what a REAL risk assessment revealed
for a small business like YOURS

a simple 10 minute call.
Here's what others are saying about Motiva
Joseph Grasso
Hartt Insurance Agency, Inc.
Motiva came to us highly recommended by the Big I and by several other local agents.
They are very familiar with insurance agency operations, the NYS DFS security requirements. Motiva’s staff are knowledgeable and efficient.
We interviewed several IT support companies. After meeting with Walter Contreras from Motiva, we knew we found a business owner who shared our philosophies.
Anthony DeFede
TCE Insurance Services, Inc.
Even if you already have an IT company that handles your cybersecurity or a team on board, I cannot stress the importance of having a qualified, independent cyber security specialist conduct a Cybersecurity Assessment.
If they find areas that need improvement, they will let you know what they are so you can be brilliantly proactive in getting systems in place to ensure you never have to experience an embarrassing, financially devastating and disruptive cyber-event.
It’s rare that I write about somebody else. I strongly recommend you take advantage of Walter Contreras who is an expert in Cybersecurity and IT Managed Services.
Frank Caponi
Cavallino Risk Management
Cavallino Risk would not have survived the economic turmoil of the great recession or the disruptive technology that has occurred in the retail insurance marketplace without the support of Motiva.
Without adapting to the changing technology landscape, your company is doomed for failure.
Cavallino Risk has been fortunate that it has had minimal exposure to other IT firms. The few that have been interviewed and services used in the past have either folded or were not up to the task of adapting to the changing IT environment.
Cavallino Risk has been utilizing Motiva for the past 10 years and expects to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
Carol DePinto
Kron Associates, Inc.
The reliability and knowledge of the Insurance Industry that Motiva brings to the table is invaluable to me. They are always consistent, they know who we are, and they understand the DFS Law better than we do.
I highly recommend them to any Insurance Broker no matter what size.
Ellen Zuckerman
Interstate Home Loan Center, Inc.
The biggest single benefit for us is that there's ALWAYS someone there to take our call and help us fix our issue or answer our question. When COVID19 hit, Motiva was really good during this stressful time since they had us set up with the tools we needed to have us work from home from the start.
Get off the fence and use Motiva.
