What does this assessment cover?

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.
