Frequently Asked
Questions
Everything you need to know before taking the assessment.
Is the cybersecurity assessment really free?
Yes, completely free with no strings attached. There's no signup, no credit card, and no obligation. You get your full score, bar chart breakdown, and prioritized recommendations instantly, all without providing any personal information.
How long does the assessment take?
Under 5 minutes. The assessment has 22 straightforward questions, one per security area. Each question has three clear answer choices, so most people finish in 3 to 4 minutes.
Do I need technical knowledge to complete it?
Not at all. Every question is written in plain, jargon-free language and describes real-world scenarios. If you know how your business operates day to day, you can answer every question. It's designed for business owners and managers, not IT specialists.
Is my data stored or shared with anyone?
No. Your answers are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers. Your results stay on your screen and disappear when you close the page. You receive your full results page, including your score, bar chart, and personalized recommendations, immediately upon completion without submitting any information. The only time we receive anything is if you choose to request an extended report via email.
What do I get at the end of the assessment?
You receive an overall security score out of 100, a letter grade, a visual bar chart showing how you performed across all 22 areas, and a detailed category-by-category breakdown with specific, actionable recommendations for your weakest areas.
Is there a more in-depth assessment for Canadian businesses?
Yes. We recently launched CybersecurityCanada.ca, a free, comprehensive cybersecurity assessment built on the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) framework. It is designed for any Canadian business to perform a detailed self-assessment without needing technical expertise. You receive a full report with actionable recommendations, plus download and print options. The tool is completely private. We do not access your results or store any data.
Who is this assessment designed for?
Small businesses with up to 50 employees, across any industry. Whether you are a law firm, accounting practice, healthcare provider, contractor, or growing startup, if your business uses computers, email, and the internet, this free assessment will identify your security gaps and show you where to focus first. For larger organizations or teams that need a deeper evaluation, we also offer cybersecurity assessment services with expanded coverage and detailed reporting.
Is a cyber security assessment the same as a cybersecurity assessment?
Yes. Cyber security assessment and cybersecurity assessment mean the same thing. Both spellings are common, with the single-word version (cybersecurity) being more widely used in the industry today. This free assessment covers 22 security areas regardless of how you search for it.
Do you offer cyber security assessment services in Hamilton and Burlington?
Yes. This free assessment is available to any business online. For professional cyber security assessment services, we serve businesses in Hamilton, Burlington, and across the Greater Toronto Area remotely via Zoom or Teams. Our team is based in Vancouver, but all assessments are conducted remotely, so no on-site visit is required. See our cybersecurity assessment services page for details.
