# Free Cyber-Security Assessment Tool for Business
[Kris Wilkinson](https://www.sirkit.ca/blog/author/kris-wilkinson)
Nov 18, 2022
Small businesses are [three times more likely to be targeted](https://www.forbes.com/sites/edwardsegal/2022/03/30/cyber-criminals/?sh=4044476352ae). Understanding if you have enough cyber-security to protect your business can be challenging and stressful. No network or system will ever be 100% secure; however, all companies, regardless of size, introduce a significant amount of protection if they implement the fundamentals.
The most important statistics about cyber-security are that [95 percent](https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/12/cyber-risk-cyber-security-education) of all breaches are caused by human error, and [60 percent of companies go out of business](https://www.idagent.com/blog/60-percent-of-companies-go-out-of-business-after-a-cyberattack/) following a cyber attack. Humans, by nature, cause problems. Start your cyber-security journey now by using our simple assessment tool to review the fundamentals.
After you receive the results, put a plan together and chip away at them. It may take several months to implement everything, depending on your current position. Remember, cyber-security is never done; you cannot set it and forget it. The landscape constantly changes, so you need to set aside a reasonable annual budget.
### The Cyber-Security Assessment Tool
The questions presented in the assessment are consistent with recent cyber-security insurance application forms and numerous security frameworks.
