Clarity before complexity
A useful conversation starter.

Your cyber readiness report
Use these results to agree priorities with your IT team, then turn them into a practical action plan.
Red means a reported gap. Amber means partial coverage or something to confirm. Green means you reported the control in place; it has not been independently verified.
Counts cover all 20 answers. The overall indicator covers scope and the five technical controls. Extra resilience questions are shown separately and do not change it. There is no pass score.
A section takes its most cautious answer: any “No” makes it red; otherwise any “Partly” or “Not sure” makes it amber. All “Yes” makes it green. Even all green does not establish compliance.
The PDF includes your answers and may reveal security gaps. Share it only with the people helping you review them.
