CyberScore hero

Example output

“Backups: solid. Patching: living dangerously.”

Our promise

Useful honesty, not a fake compliance badge.

01

No jargon traps

Questions describe real operational practices, not policy-document trivia.

02

No invented certainty

Your result is clearly presented as an indicative self-assessment—not certification.

03

No mystery score

You see the result by control and maturity level, so weak spots are obvious.

04

No forced sales call

Take the free score and roast card. Upgrade only when you need a deeper plan.

From anxiety to action

A score your team can actually use.

CyberScore turns fuzzy “we should probably do Essential Eight” conversations into a visible baseline and a practical next move.

~15

plain-English questions

Fast enough to finish. Specific enough to matter.

Built for Australian IT managers and business owners who need a credible starting point before the insurer, tender panel, or board asks for evidence.

Straightforward pricing

Start with the truth. Pay for the plan.

Your score and roast card are free. A scoped report is quoted separately because remediation priorities depend on your environment, evidence, and assurance needs.
