10 Cyber Resilience Self-Assessment

Resilience in the face of cyber threats requires more than reactive defences—it demands a clear, organisation-wide understanding of readiness, adaptability, and the capacity to recover. The 10 Cyber Resilience Self-Assessment checklist offers a practical and accessible tool to help assess current resilience levels and guide continuous improvement.

This checklist includes ten focused evaluation points that address key dimensions of cyber resilience. These areas include governance, incident response planning, threat awareness, business continuity, supply chain risks, staff education, data protection practices, technical safeguards, security monitoring, and recovery procedures. Each item supports structured reflection and encourages productive dialogue across leadership, risk, and operational teams.

Organisations that complete this checklist benefit from a clearer view of their current posture. It helps uncover hidden gaps, reinforce existing strengths, and prioritise targeted improvements. Rather than relying on assumptions or isolated reports, this self-assessment facilitates informed decisions and supports alignment with strategic objectives.

The 10 Cyber Resilience Self-Assessment is ideal for executive leadership, IT security professionals, risk managers, audit teams, and business continuity officers. It is equally valuable for use in board briefings, cyber workshops, internal audits, and compliance planning. Its simple format ensures that teams can complete the checklist efficiently—without sacrificing depth or relevance.

Additionally, this tool serves as a starting point for more detailed risk reviews and capability development. It encourages cross-functional collaboration and helps foster a culture of cyber preparedness across all organisational levels.

Whether your organisation is building a new resilience strategy or reviewing an existing one, the 10 Cyber Resilience Self-Assessment provides a clear path forward.

Equip your organisation with the visibility and structure needed to face tomorrow’s threats—today.
