Free Cyber Preparedness
Checklist.

This free cyber preparedness checklist shows you exactly where your organization is exposed before something breaks, not after.

No spam. Takes 30 seconds.

Why a Cyber Preparedness Checklist Matters

Most organizations don’t find out where they’re exposed until an incident forces the issue, a vendor gets breached, an employee leaves with active credentials, or a ransomware attack locks up systems nobody backed up properly. By then, the fix costs far more than the prevention would have.

This cyber preparedness checklist is built to surface those gaps while they’re still cheap to fix. It’s not a generic list copied from a vendor’s marketing page. It’s the same categories Forward Security Labs actually reviews during paid readiness assessments, condensed into something you can walk through yourself in a few minutes.

What the Cyber Preparedness Checklist Covers

These categories align with the practices outlined in CISA’s Cyber Essentials guidance for small organizations, adapted into a checklist format you can actually finish in one sitting.

Who This Checklist Is For

Small businesses without a dedicated IT or security team, healthcare practices juggling HIPAA obligations alongside daily operations, and operations leaders who suspect there are gaps but don’t have a structured way to find them. If your organization has never walked through a cyber preparedness checklist before, this is the place to start, not a full assessment, just an honest first look.

Used by small businesses, healthcare organizations, and operations teams to identify preparedness gaps before an incident forces the issue.
