What You'll Learn:
Your current cyber risk position based on common AEC threats.
Hidden gaps exist that could put your firm at risk.
Whether a deeper strategic security review makes sense.
What is the AEC Cyber Risk Score?
Think of the AEC Cyber Risk Scorecard like a quick health check for your firm’s digital operations. Similar to a credit score, it gives you a high-level view of how exposed your firm may be to cyber risk without technical jargon or long reports.
It answers one simple question:
Are your current protections leaving your firm exposed, partially protected, or well protected?
The result gives you clarity on whether a deeper look is worth it.
Why Cyber Risk Is About What’s Consistently Enforced
Consistency Drives Protection
Cyber risk isn’t reduced by good intentions. It’s reduced when protections are applied consistently across users, systems, and workflows, not selectively or informally.
Configuration Over Ownership
Having security tools in place isn’t enough.
What matters is whether they’re properly configured, actively used, and aligned with how your firm actually operates
Unseen Gaps Increase Exposure
Gaps often exist where enforcement is inconsistent, email access, remote users, shared systems. Those gaps can quietly raise your risk level without obvious warning signs.
Risk Is a Moving Target
Cyber risk changes as your firm grows and evolves.
New users, new tools, and new projects all affect exposure even if nothing feels different day to day.
