The five areas it scores

A. Uptime and reliability

Downtime tracking, around-the-clock monitoring, tested restores, and fixing repeat problems at the root.

B. Security and compliance

MFA, patching you can prove, admin access control, and security-awareness training.

C. Support responsiveness

Response-time targets, ticket ownership, new-starter setup, and a monthly summary of IT activity.

D. Cost visibility

Every subscription and license, spend by category, hardware replacement plans, and renewal reviews.

E. Reporting and analytics

Regular dashboard reviews, trends over time, problem hotspots, and IT metrics tied to business outcomes.

About 10 minutes. If you don’t know the answer to a statement, score it 0 — not knowing is itself a finding.

Start with your lowest section

The statements you scored 0 or 1 there are your first projects.

Questions

Who should fill it in?

Whoever knows your IT setup best: an owner, office manager, or IT lead. It takes about 10 minutes.

Is this a security audit?

No. It is a self-assessment for planning purposes, not a security audit or a guarantee of any outcome.

What if I score low on reporting?

A low score in section E usually means the other sections are hard to see. That is where a live IT dashboard helps most — see the Live IT Dashboard Template Pack or the Real-Time IT Dashboard Setup below.
