Is Your Company Really Secure? A Simple Cybersecurity Self-Check

You lock your office door. You back up your files. Maybe you’ve even installed antivirus software. But when it comes to your company’s actual cybersecurity posture (the systems, policies, and habits that protect your data) are you really secure?

At Digitally Adept, we’ve worked with businesses that thought they were doing everything right... until a breach, failed audit, or compliance gap told a different story. This 5-minute self-check is designed to help you uncover blind spots and take the first step toward stronger security.

Cybersecurity Self-Check: 6 Simple Questions

Ask yourself (or your IT lead) the following:

1. Do you know what sensitive data your company stores, and where it lives?

From customer records to employee data, most companies store sensitive information. But many don’t have a clear map of where that data is kept, who can access it, or how it’s protected.

2. Do you have a written incident response plan?

If a breach or ransomware attack happened tomorrow, would your team know exactly what to do? Who to contact? How to contain the damage? If that answer’s fuzzy, it’s time to act.

3. When was your last password or access review?

Old employee accounts, reused passwords, and “temporary” admin access often go unchecked. These are easy-to-fix issues that attackers love to exploit.

4. Are your cybersecurity policies up to date and enforced?

Many companies write policies once (usually for an audit) and never revisit them. Effective policies should evolve with your business and be followed, not just filed away.

5. Are you compliant and secure?

SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS… the list goes on. But ticking compliance boxes isn’t the same as being truly secure. You need both, especially if you’re scaling.

6. Have you had a third-party security review in the last 12 months?

Even the best internal teams miss things. An external review provides fresh eyes, uncovers hidden risks, and ensures you’re ready for whatever comes next.

How'd You Do?

If you paused, hesitated, or said “no” to more than one of these questions — there are likely real vulnerabilities in your current posture.

The good news? These aren’t hard problems to fix. You just need a trusted partner to help you prioritize and move forward.
