Cyber Security Posture Assessment
A free self-assessment built to help organisations quickly estimate how defensible their current security stance looks across control maturity, audit readiness, and operational resilience.
Useful before audits
Estimate where scrutiny is most likely to expose weak evidence, control ownership, or implementation gaps.
Tied to real services
Each recommendation links into practical consultancy support around audits, IAM, PAM, and programme delivery.
Designed for action
The goal is not vanity scoring. It is to help organisations understand what deserves attention first.
Review your security stance in seconds
This tool focuses on the areas that most often cause pain during framework work, customer assurance reviews, or remediation planning: identity control, endpoint hygiene, evidence quality, and incident readiness.
Cyber posture snapshot
Answer a few practical questions to estimate how ready your organisation looks for audit scrutiny, customer assurance questions, or a tougher security conversation with leadership.
Identity and admin control
How confident are you that privileged access, approvals, and joiner-mover-leaver controls are properly governed?
Endpoint and patching consistency
How consistent are your device hardening, patching, and baseline technical standards across the estate?
Evidence and control ownership
If challenged tomorrow, how easily could you show control owners, evidence, and a defensible current-state position?
Incident readiness
How ready is the organisation to detect, escalate, and manage a meaningful cyber or control issue?
Estimated readiness score
50%
There are likely material gaps between what the organisation believes is in place and what could be defended under proper scrutiny.
What this usually means
Organisations at this level usually benefit from a focused review before committing to a certification, audit response, insurer questionnaire, or broad remediation programme.
Priority attention areas
The two weakest areas are usually where scrutiny lands hardest.
Evidence and audit confidence
Many organisations have controls in principle but struggle to evidence ownership, frequency, and operating effectiveness under scrutiny.
Identity and privileged access
Over-privileged users, weak joiner-mover-leaver control, and poor admin governance often create the biggest gap between stated policy and real-world risk.
Recommended next moves
Useful starting points based on your current answers.
Tighten IAM and PAM controls
Review admin access, role design, approvals, and joiner-mover-leaver processes to reduce exposure and improve control clarity.

Map obligations, assign owners, organise evidence, and challenge weak assumptions before an assessor, client, or insurer does it for you.

What this tool is really helping you spot
Many organisations only discover how fragile their position is when an auditor asks for evidence, a client sends a security questionnaire, or leadership wants confidence that a known gap is truly under control.
This estimator helps surface the kinds of weaknesses that often sit underneath those moments: unclear ownership, weak privileged access governance, inconsistent technical hygiene, and remediation work that has not yet been structured properly.
Audit readiness and compliance
For organisations under pressure from ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, NCSC CAF, DSPT, GDPR, or customer assurance activity.
IAM and PAM consultancy
For environments where access, admin privilege, and directory design are central to risk reduction and better control maturity.
Cyber security audits
For a deeper current-state review that tests how controls actually operate and what that means for the business.
Programme leadership
For organisations that already know there is work to do and need structure, sequencing, and leadership to move it forward.
