📖 How It Works

Answer each question honestly. Score 1 point for YES, 0 points for NO.

This scorecard is built on best practices from CIS Controls, NIST, and ISO 27001 — so you’ll know exactly how your SMB stacks up.

7-Minute Cybersecurity Risk Scorecard

🔑 Section 1: Identity & Access Management

Control who gets in and make sure only the right people stay in.

💻 Section 2: Endpoint & Device Security

Keep every laptop, desktop, and mobile device hardened against threats.

☁️ Section 3: Data Protection

Backups, encryption, and recovery because your data is your business.

📡 Section 4: Network & Infrastructure

Secure the digital highways your business runs on.

👥 Section 5: People & Training

Humans are the weakest link unless they’re trained to be your strongest defense.

⚖️ Section 6: Compliance & Governance

Policies and monitoring that prove your business takes security seriously.

🧮 Your Score

  • 21–25 = Low Risk (Excellent)

  • 13–20 = Medium Risk (Vulnerable)
    Where most SMBs fall. You’re one attack away from downtime or a breach.

  • 0–12 = High Risk (Critical)
