No data is stored or transmitted. The evaluation runs entirely in the browser. Non-binding initial assessment – it does not replace an on-site review.

Background

Where does your IT security stand?

Most successful attacks on small and medium-sized businesses exploit the same gaps: missing multi-factor authentication, no secure backup, outdated systems and open remote access. The quick check shows within minutes where the biggest levers are.
