About this template

Most breaches walk through doors left open by ordinary neglect: shared credentials, unencrypted exports, response plans nobody rehearsed, vendors nobody rechecked. This assessment scores five security capability areas as they operate day to day, and the AI report ranks your gaps by how commonly they are exploited — an awareness and preparation instrument, not a penetration test or certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the five security dimensions?
Access management, data protection, incident response, staff awareness and vendor/supply-chain security — the practical capability areas this self-assessment scores.
Is this a substitute for a security audit?
No — it is a structured self-check to prepare, prioritize and brief qualified audits or advice; it finds doors, not vulnerabilities.
Which gaps does the report emphasize?
Those most commonly exploited in practice — credential sprawl and unrehearsed response usually outrank exotic threats.
Who should answer?
Whoever administers access and whoever would run an incident, separately; the gap between the two is where real risk lives.
How often should we reassess?
Per half-year, and whenever headcount, vendors or data types change materially.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Click Use This Template to copy the form, scoring and report configuration into your FormLM workspace for free, then customize and share it.
