Everything You Need to Have an Informed Conversation
The checklist is built for business owners — not IT professionals. No jargon. Just clear questions and a framework for evaluating the answers.
10 Specific Questions
Not generic advice. Questions you can bring to your next provider conversation.
Good Answer vs. Red Flag
Each question shows you what confidence looks like — and what evasion looks like.
Notes Field on Every Question
Document what your provider actually says. Their answers are the data.
Outcome Guide
What to do based on how your provider performed — from "you're in good shape" to "get a second opinion."
The Questions Your Provider Should Be Able to Answer Without Hesitation
These aren't trick questions. They're the baseline. If your provider struggles with any of them, that's your signal.
Are your backups tested — and can you show proof?
Is MFA enforced across our accounts — or just available?
Who has admin rights, and is that list reviewed?
Is email security configured — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC?
Are you monitoring our domain on the dark web?
Do we have a written security plan?
How are patches and updates managed?
Do we have scheduled quarterly business reviews?
Do we have a documented incident response plan?
Are our controls aligned with our cyber insurance policy?
