See how ready your business is to answer an enterprise security questionnaire. 14 questions, 5 minutes, instant results with a prioritised action plan.
The Security Questionnaire Fast-Track is a free readiness assessment for Irish businesses that supply — or want to supply — enterprise customers. It is a multi-step questionnaire covering the 10 core topics that every enterprise security audit asks about.
Your results include an overall readiness score, a category-by-category breakdown, the specific gaps that would fail an enterprise audit, and a downloadable PDF report with recommended next steps.
What the Assessment Covers
The assessment asks 14 questions across the 10 areas that enterprise security questionnaires focus on:
Access Control & Authentication
Whether multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled on all user accounts — including email, admin, and remote access — and whether a documented password policy enforces minimum complexity and prohibits password sharing.
Security Policies
Whether you have a documented Information Security Policy that has been approved by management, and an Acceptable Use Policy that all staff have signed.
Data Protection & Encryption
Whether data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) for all external-facing services and email, and whether sensitive data is encrypted at rest — on laptops, servers, and cloud storage.
Incident Response
Whether you have a documented Incident Response Plan that defines roles, escalation paths, and communication procedures.
Business Continuity & Backup
Whether you have regular, tested backups with at least one offline or immutable copy, and a Business Continuity Plan that covers IT system recovery.
Employee Training
Whether all staff receive regular cybersecurity awareness training, including phishing simulations.
Network Security
Whether you have a managed firewall with regularly reviewed rules, and network segmentation between critical systems.
Patch Management
How quickly you apply critical security patches to operating systems and applications.
Vendor Management
Whether you assess the security posture of your own suppliers and service providers — under NIS2, you're expected to manage your own supply chain risk.
Physical Security
Whether physical access to servers, network equipment, and sensitive areas is controlled and logged.
Your Readiness Rating
Audit-Ready (80% or above)
Your organisation demonstrates strong security controls across most areas. You're well-positioned to pass enterprise security questionnaires. Focus on closing the remaining gaps to achieve full audit readiness.
Partially Ready (55–79%)
You have some security controls in place, but significant gaps remain. An enterprise auditor would likely flag several areas for remediation. The good news: most gaps can be closed within 30–90 days with the right guidance.
Not Ready (below 55%)
Your current security posture would not pass most enterprise security questionnaires. This is common for SMEs that haven't yet formalised their security programme. A structured 90-day programme can address the critical gaps.
What Happens Next?
If you scored 80%+
You're in good shape. Focus on closing the remaining gaps, documenting your controls, and building an evidence pack. Our Questionnaire Rescue service can help you compile and submit.
If you scored 55–79%
You have foundations but significant gaps. A focused 30–60 day remediation programme can close most gaps. Our 90-Day Supplier Security Programme is designed for exactly this situation.
If you scored below 55%
Don't panic — this is where most SMEs start. A structured programme will get you audit-ready within 90 days. Book a free call and we'll map out the fastest path to compliance.
