Cyber Security Score Checker

How secure is your business IT setup?

Answer 8 quick questions based on common Cyber Essentials-style controls and get a simple Red, Amber or Green score for your current cyber security setup.

Quick note:

This is not a formal Cyber Essentials assessment, but it will help you spot common gaps that could leave your business exposed.

1. Have you enabled MFA on all cloud accounts?

For example Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, accounting software, CRM systems and other cloud apps.

2. Does every member of staff have their own login?

Shared accounts like “admin”, “accounts” or “reception” make it harder to control access properly.

3. Are admin accounts separate from normal user accounts?

Admin rights should only be used when needed, not for day-to-day work like email and browsing.

4. Are your laptops, PCs and mobile devices kept up to date?

This includes Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, browsers and key business applications.

5. Do all devices have antivirus or endpoint protection?

This should include laptops used in the office, at home or while travelling.

6. Are firewalls enabled on your router and devices?

Firewalls help stop unwanted traffic reaching your systems and should not be switched off without a good reason.

7. Do you remove access quickly when someone leaves?

This includes email, Microsoft 365, cloud apps, shared files, passwords and admin access.

8. Are important business files backed up and tested?

Backups should be automatic, secure and tested so you know you can recover if something goes wrong.

Cyber Essentials explained

What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed scheme designed to help protect your organisation from common cyber attacks.

It focuses on the basic security controls every business should have in place, such as secure access, updates, malware protection and safer device configuration.

Do you legally need it?

Cyber Essentials is not a legal requirement for every business, but if you are tendering for certain contracts, especially those involving sensitive information, you may be asked to have it.

Why it matters

Why do I need Cyber Essentials certification?

Cyber Essentials helps show clients, suppliers and potential customers that your business takes cyber security seriously.

✓

More likely to meet requirements for government and supplier contracts

✓

Better positioned to attract new business and build client confidence

✓

Clearer understanding of how your organisation protects itself from common cyber threats
