Three Ways to Get Started With TC³. All of Them Lead to the Same Place.
Most clients start with a conversation. Some start with a formal assessment. Some already know what they need and want to get moving today. We’ve built a path for each one.

What the TC³ Risk Assessment Covers
The Risk Assessment is a formal, documented evaluation of your technology environment against your industry’s specific compliance requirements and security obligations. You receive a written report you can share with your board, your insurer, or your regulators.
- ✓Security posture evaluation against your industry’s compliance framework
- ✓Identification of critical gaps ranked by risk level and business impact
- ✓Infrastructure and endpoint vulnerability assessment
- ✓Review of current backup, recovery, and business continuity posture
- ✓AI and data governance gap analysis
- ✓Written report with prioritized remediation roadmap
- ✓Executive summary suitable for board or insurer presentation
Pricing & Credit Policy
How Pricing Works
Assessment pricing is calculated based on your industry and organization size. Compliance-sensitive industries (healthcare, financial services, legal, insurance) involve more extensive framework mapping and carry a higher base cost than a general small business assessment. The pricing calculator will be available shortly.
Credit Toward Services
If you engage TC³ managed services within 90 days of receiving your assessment, the full cost of the assessment is applied as a credit toward your first service agreement. The assessment becomes the foundation of your onboarding — no redundant discovery work, no re-scoping from scratch.
Standalone Value
The assessment is a complete deliverable whether or not you engage TC³ afterward. The written report is yours to keep, share, and act on regardless of what you decide next.

Common Questions
Which path do most clients choose?
Most clients start with a free risk conversation. It takes a bit longer but clients who go through the assessment process have fewer surprises, better-scoped services, and faster time to value after onboarding. The Risk Assessment order path is popular with compliance-sensitive industries that need documentation before they can make a buying decision.
Does the Risk Assessment credit expire?
The assessment credit applies if you engage TC³ services within 60 days of receiving your assessment report. After 60 days, the assessment remains yours as a standalone deliverable but the credit toward services no longer applies.
What’s the difference between the Risk Assessment and the 90-day true-up?
The Risk Assessment is a standalone paid product you order before engaging services. The 90-day true-up is a clause built into express service agreements, it’s TC³’s verification of your environment after you’ve already started services, designed to correct your price if the actual scope differs from the estimate. They serve different purposes but both produce a verified picture of your environment.
How long does the Risk Assessment take to complete?
Typically 4–6 weeks from the time TC³ has access to your environment and documentation. Compliance-heavy assessments for regulated industries take slightly longer due to the additional framework mapping required. You’ll receive a timeline estimate when you place your order.
Can I start with Path 1 and switch to the express path later?
Yes. The conversation is just a conversation — it doesn’t lock you into anything. Some clients talk to an advisor first to understand their options, then proceed with the express path once they’ve decided. Others use the conversation to determine whether a formal Risk Assessment makes sense before signing.
