Twelve plain-English questions across the four security areas that matter most. You get a scored, area-by-area picture of where you stand. About five minutes. No email needed.
Plain-English security — without us ever seeing your answers. Everything stays in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or tracked.
Four core areas. The assessment looks at the security topics behind the most common small-business incidents. Identity & Access Management is who can log in to what. Data Classification & Retention is knowing what data you hold, and for how long. Backup & Disaster Recovery is whether you could bounce back from locked or lost files. Vulnerability & Patch Management is keeping your systems up to date.
What you get. An overall score, a breakdown by area, and a short list of recommended priority actions based on your answers — practices drawn from widely used security standards.
What it isn't. This is general guidance, not a professional security audit and not legal advice. Every recommendation is optional; following it reduces common risks but does not guarantee security or prevent any particular breach. Responsibility for your business's security remains with you.
