Built for leadership, not technical teams

This is meant for owners, executive directors, practice leaders, operations leaders, and decision-makers who need a clear read on business risk, not a flood of technical jargon.

Designed to surface real business pressure

The questions focus on ownership, evidence, insurance readiness, incident readiness, and whether leadership can defend what is actually in place when someone asks hard questions.

No software pitch attached

This is an advisory-led readiness screen. The goal is to help you get your bearings and identify sensible next steps, not funnel you into managed services or another tool purchase.

When this helps

  • Before cyber insurance renewal, underwriting questions, or carrier pressure
  • Before a board, donor, lender, client, or leadership discussion
  • When IT is doing work, but leadership still does not know what can be proven
  • When policies, procedures, and evidence may not be keeping up with operations
  • When rapid growth, vendor changes, or business disruption have outpaced structure

What this is not

  • Not a diagnostic tool or compliance guarantee
  • Not a replacement for a formal review or advisory engagement
  • Not a sales trap for software or managed services
  • Not a substitute for legal, regulatory, or insurance advice

This check is educational and informational. It is designed to help leadership identify likely risk and readiness themes worth discussing further.

1. Cybersecurity ownership and governance

Does your organization have a named person who clearly owns cybersecurity decision support, coordination, and accountability?

This is not your IT provider alone. It means someone inside leadership can own decisions, support escalation, and keep accountability from getting fuzzy.

2. Policies and procedures

Are your core security policies and procedures documented, current, and usable by the people who need them?

3. Multi-factor authentication

Is multi-factor authentication required for business email, remote access, and key business systems?

4. Backups and recovery confidence

Do you know critical systems and data are backed up, protected, and recoverable within a reasonable timeframe?

The real issue is not just whether backups exist. It is whether recovery is realistic when operations, payroll, or patient care are disrupted.

5. Incident response readiness

If payroll, email, or operations were disrupted tomorrow, would leadership know who decides what, who to call, and what to do first?

6. Vendor and third-party risk

Do you have a practical way to evaluate vendors or service providers that handle sensitive systems, data, or critical operations?

7. Security awareness and basic practices

Do employees receive practical guidance on phishing, password hygiene, and suspicious activity reporting?

8. Evidence and documentation

If an insurer, auditor, donor, customer, or regulator asked for proof of controls, could your organization produce it without scrambling?

Evidence can include policies, screenshots, logs, tickets, training records, reports, or other support you could actually produce when asked.

9. Leadership visibility

Does leadership get a clear, plain-language view of cyber risk and priority decisions rather than mostly technical updates?

10. Insurance and compliance pressure

Could your organization confidently answer a typical cyber insurance, compliance, or customer security questionnaire today?

Frequently asked questions

How long does this take?

Most people finish in about three minutes. The questions are written for leadership, not technical staff.

Will this tell me if I am compliant?

No. This is a readiness check, not a formal review, legal opinion, or audit.

Do I need my IT provider on the call to answer this?

No. You can complete it based on what leadership knows today. Uncertainty is useful signal and often points to governance or documentation gaps.

Who is this for?

It is best suited for SMBs, nonprofits, and small medical practices that need a plain-English view of ownership, evidence, insurance readiness, and next steps.

What happens next

Your result is meant to help you get your bearings. If the output shows gaps in ownership, documentation, evidence, or decision readiness, the right next step is usually not to buy another tool. It is to clarify accountability, confirm what is actually in place, and build a defensible roadmap leadership can stand behind.
