CYBER RISK ASSESSMENT

Your Security Score 1 of 8
Backup & Recovery
How often is your business data backed up?
This includes files, emails, databases, and any critical systems.
Daily or more frequently
Automated backups every 24 hours or less
Weekly
Backups run once a week
Occasionally or manually
No consistent schedule
We don't have backups
Or we're not sure
Endpoint Security
What antivirus or endpoint protection do your devices run?
This includes computers, laptops, and servers in your business.
Managed business-grade solution
e.g. Bitdefender, Acronis, CrowdStrike — centrally managed
Consumer antivirus only
e.g. Avast, Norton, Windows Defender — installed per device
Nothing installed / not sure
Devices may be unprotected
Access Control
Do your staff accounts use multi-factor authentication (MFA)?
MFA requires a second step (like a phone code) to log in — beyond just a password.
Yes — MFA is enforced for all staff
Including email, cloud services, and remote access
Partially — some systems use it
Not consistently applied across all accounts
No — we use passwords only
No second factor required
Patch Management
How are software updates and security patches applied?
Unpatched software is the #1 entry point for attackers.
Automatically — managed centrally
Patches deploy without staff intervention
Manually — when staff get around to it
Updates applied inconsistently
Rarely or never
Systems run on outdated software
Email Security
Has your business experienced a phishing attack or email scam in the last 12 months?
Phishing is when staff receive fake emails designed to steal credentials or install malware.
No — and we have email filtering in place
Spam and phishing are blocked at the gateway
We've seen attempts but nothing succeeded
Staff spotted or reported suspicious emails
Yes — someone clicked something they shouldn't have
A phishing attempt caused a security incident
Not sure — we don't monitor for this
Incident Response
If ransomware encrypted all your files right now, how quickly could you recover?
Be honest — this is the scenario that ends most unprotected businesses.
Within hours — we have tested recovery
Clean backups, documented plan, tested regularly
Within days — we have some backups
Recovery possible but slow and uncertain
We'd be in serious trouble
No tested plan, uncertain backups, or we'd consider paying the ransom
Staff Awareness
Do your staff receive any cyber security awareness training?
Human error accounts for over 80% of successful breaches.
Yes — regular formal training
Scheduled training at least once or twice a year
Informal — occasional reminders or emails
No structured programme
No training at all
Staff haven't been briefed on cyber risks
Compliance & Governance
How does your business approach POPIA compliance?
POPIA requires South African businesses to protect personal information — non-compliance carries serious penalties.
We have a documented POPIA compliance programme
Information officer appointed, policies in place
We're aware of it and working on compliance
Partially addressed, still gaps
We haven't addressed POPIA formally
Not sure where to start
