The Problem

Most Businesses Rely on IT.
Few Measure Risk.

Small businesses hold valuable customer data and financial records — yet most have no structured way to understand their actual cyber exposure.

Sensitive customer and financial data
Customer records, payment data, and financial information make small businesses attractive targets for cybercriminals.
Rising attacks on small businesses
Small businesses are among the fastest-growing ransomware targets — often seen as easier to breach than large enterprises.
Insurance questionnaires are getting harder
Cyber insurers now demand detailed evidence of controls at renewal — and most businesses can't answer confidently.
Owners lack risk visibility
Outsourced IT providers rarely produce owner-level risk summaries. Leaders are flying blind on their actual exposure.

Know Where You Stand
Before Renewal.

Cyber insurance questionnaires have grown dramatically in complexity. Insurers want to see evidence of controls — not just a yes/no checkbox. Most small businesses can't answer confidently.

1
Identify gaps before your broker does
RiskScore maps your controls to the domains insurers care about most — so you can fix issues proactively, not reactively at renewal.
2
Give your broker meaningful data
Your PDF report is structured to support insurer questionnaire responses — share it directly with your broker or IT provider.
3
Demonstrate continuous improvement
Run assessments regularly to track your Risk Index over time — showing insurers a business committed to improving posture.

"After years working in IT and cybersecurity, I kept seeing the same pattern in small businesses — no structured risk visibility, last-minute insurance scrambles, and reactive security. Owners were flying blind. I built RiskScore to change that. It's the tool I wished existed."
