How it works

Three steps. About fifteen minutes to start.

  1. 01

    Answer the prep questions

    Take stock of MFA, backups, endpoint protection, and the other basics you'll be asked about.

  2. 02

    Get your fix list

    See the gaps, the evidence to keep, and the practical steps to take next.

  3. 03

    Put your policies in place

    Customize clear policies your team can actually follow.

The basics

What you'll get asked about.

These controls come up again and again in security questionnaires. Here's what each one means in plain English.

MFA

A second step on top of passwords for email, remote access and admin accounts. It blocks many stolen-password attacks.

EDR

Endpoint detection and response watches laptops and servers for ransomware-like behavior and helps someone respond fast. Antivirus alone is a different thing.

Backups

Copies kept away from your main accounts, locked from changes, and actually tested by restoring something.

Email security

Filtering plus SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, so more phishing gets caught and your domain is harder to fake.

Training

Short, regular lessons and phishing practice so people know what to report.

Incident response

A written plan with names and first steps, so the first hours of a bad day go better.

Policy packs

Six starter policies, written for real small businesses.

Fill in your company details and pick the choices that match how you actually work, like MFA rules, backup schedule and training frequency. You get editable drafts with clear placeholders for anything that needs your review.

Drafts are templates, not legal advice. A document doesn't mean a control is in place.
