Capability

Business-readable intake

The quick scan uses plain language so SMEs can answer without feeling like they are inside a technical audit worksheet.

Capability

Consistent scoring model

The output still gives a structured score, category view, and prioritised findings that can be used in advisory follow-up.

Capability

Framework-linked findings

Reports connect gaps to POPIA, NIST CSF, and ISO/IEC 27001 so the product feels credible beyond a simple questionnaire.

Capability

Partner-ready progression

The quick scan can lead into deeper MDHG assessment work, remediation planning, and insurance-facing conversations when needed.

Assessment path

Start with a fast signal, then move into deeper MDHG review.

1. Run the quick scan

Complete 15 plain-language questions across identity, endpoint, data protection, and governance to establish an initial cyber signal.

2. Review the risk picture

Generate a structured report with score logic, findings, framework references, and remediation priorities.

3. Move into the full assessment

Use the quick scan as the bridge into deeper MDHG assessment, remediation planning, and insurer-facing support where needed.
