Free Cyber Security Scorecard

Score your security posture in five minutes

Twelve yes/partly/no questions across identity, devices, data and monitoring — the same four areas VGuard Cyber reviews first in every engagement. Your score and domain breakdown appear instantly on this page; nothing is required to see it.

Start the scorecard

The scorecard

Answer honestly — "partly" is a valid answer. Each question is worth up to 2 points.

Identity & Access

1. Every user account, including admins and vendors, has multi-factor authentication enforced.
2. Departed staff and contractors lose all access the same day they leave.
3. Admin rights are limited to the people who need them and reviewed at least quarterly.

Devices & Network

4. Every laptop and server has managed endpoint protection that reports to a central console.
5. Operating systems and applications are patched within 30 days of a critical release.
6. Remote access uses a VPN or zero-trust gateway rather than open RDP/SSH.

Data & Backups

7. Backups are automated, encrypted, tested by restore at least twice a year, and one copy is offline or immutable.
8. You know where your sensitive data lives (customer, health, payment, personnel) and who can reach it.
9. Laptops and phones that hold company data are encrypted.

Monitoring & Response

10. Security logs from identity, endpoints and cloud are collected somewhere someone actually reviews them.
11. You have a written incident response plan that names roles and has been walked through in the last 12 months.
12. Staff receive phishing/security awareness training at least annually.

Enter your details and we will email you a copy of your scorecard result with a short, plain-English note on what to fix first. No obligation; we do not share your answers.

    Questions

    Is this a certification or an audit?

    No. It is a self-assessment to help you prioritize. It does not certify anything and is not a substitute for a formal audit.

    Do you store my answers?

    Your answers are scored in your browser. We only receive what you choose to send through the email form.

    Who is it for?

    Owners, operations leads and IT managers at companies of roughly 10–500 people who want a quick, honest read before spending money.
