Most owners roll the dice. You're about to know.

It's a free, six-question check that gives UK small businesses a cyber resilience score out of 100, a green, amber or red band, and a plain-English list of their three biggest gaps. It takes about two minutes and asks for no email to see your result.

No. Your score, band and three gaps appear on screen the moment you finish — there's no email gate. You can optionally ask for a forwardable email version afterwards, but it's never required to see the result.

Each of the six questions maps to something that matters in the Inology baseline and Cyber Essentials — how you sign in, whether you could get your files back, what happens when someone leaves, keeping kit up to date, spotting a fake invoice, and having a written plan for a bad day. Answers are weighted, with sign-in and tested backups carrying the most weight, to produce a 0–100 score and a band.

The score splits into thirds, each with a plain-English character. 67–100 (green) is "Sorted" — the basics are holding. 34–66 (amber) is "Half Sorted" — a few things are partly done or unproven. 0–33 (red) is "Winging It" — there are open gaps an attacker would look for first.

It's for owners and managers of UK small businesses — typically 10 to 50 staff — who want a straight answer fast, plus something concrete to take to the board, an insurer or a partners' meeting. It's scoped to the Inology baseline and a Cyber Essentials lens.

No — it's a fast read, not a full audit. It tells you where you stand on six things that matter most and where to look first. A proper assessment goes deeper; this gives you the headline and the conversation starter before the Cyber Resilience Bill makes someone ask.
