Know which security gap to fix first, and what it costs to close.
Value Aligners checks your business from the outside, maps what it finds to the rules your industry answers to, and puts it in order: what to fix first, why, and the options that close it. No vendor can pay to be ranked.
A clear, independent security plan in about 30 minutes.
Most small businesses learn what to fix from whoever is selling the fix, and sign insurance forms they can't fully verify.
A free outside-in scan and a short intake, mapped to your industry's rules, turned into three fixes in order with the options that close them.
- Your three most important fixes, in order
- A plain-language PDF for leadership and insurers
- Options for each fix, with prices where a vetted vendor has listed one
- Expert help only if you want it
Small businesses are the target, and the renewal form asks you to prove it is handled.
- Your renewal form runs 42 to 73 questions, and an officer signs it as true.
- A vendor's pitch is often the only ranking you have seen of what matters first.
- Your gaps live in different places: a past audit, an email thread, someone's memory.
- You can't budget for a fix you can't price.
Three fixes, in order, with what each one closes.
After a 30-minute intake and the free scan, your findings page puts the most important gap first and tells you how sure we are.
- Severity first. The gap that matters most for your industry's rules is at the top.
- How sure we are. Measured by our scan, or taken from your answers. You always see which.
- What it costs to close. The product category that fixes it, with prices where a vetted vendor has listed one.

The most severe gap first
Findings tied to the control they fail, in severity order, in plain language.
Measured vs reported
Every finding shows whether the scan measured it or you reported it.
No agent, no install
The scan reads only public signals: email security (SPF, DMARC, DKIM), TLS, headers and open ports.
A priced path to the fix
The product category that closes each gap, with prices where a vetted vendor has listed one.
A report you can hand over
A clean PDF for leadership, your insurer's questions or a customer's security questionnaire.
A renewal you can defend
A record of each answer with its evidence, reviewed by you or a matched expert, and your decision.
Ranking no vendor can pay to influence.
