Knowing where your organisation stands is the first step to improving it. ICA Consultancy's free cyber security readiness assessment suite covers the security, privacy, and governance challenges organisations are dealing with right now, cyber security, data protection, ransomware, post-quantum cryptography, and AI governance.
Each assessment takes a few minutes to complete online. Answer a structured set of questions about your current practices and get an instant report benchmarking your maturity against recognised good practice, with practical recommendations for closing any gaps — free, with no sales call required to see your results.
What you get with every free cyber security readiness assessment
A clear, structured question set — built around recognised good practice for the topic at hand. Some assessments, including AI Governance, tailor the question set to your organisation's circumstances as you go.
An instant report — available on-screen the moment you finish, and as a downloadable PDF.
A maturity or readiness score — benchmarked section by section, not just as a single overall number.
Key recommendations — prioritised actions based on where your report shows the biggest gaps.
A built-in glossary — technical and regulatory terms are explained inline as you go, so you don't need to stop and look anything up.
Save and resume — your progress is saved automatically, so you can step away and pick up where you left off.
A report you can come back to — your PDF report can be retrieved later, so it isn't a one-time view you have to save yourself on the spot.
Your details are kept apart from your report — we ask for your name, email and company before unlocking your report, but that information is stored against your response, not attached to the report itself. Someone with just the report ID can't tell whose it is.
No cost, no obligation — the assessments are free to complete, with no sales call required to see your results.
The assessments
Cyber Security Posture Review (CSPR)
A ten-step review of your organisation's core cyber security controls, giving you a clear picture of your overall security posture and where to focus next.
Data Protection Readiness Assessment
Assesses how well your organisation's data protection practices measure up, from governance and accountability through to how personal data is actually handled day to day.
Ransomware Readiness Assessment
Focuses specifically on your ability to prevent, detect, and recover from a ransomware attack, one of the most common and costly incidents organisations face today.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Readiness Assessment
Quantum computing will eventually break the encryption much of the internet relies on today. This assessment measures how prepared your organisation is for that transition, with versions tailored to different levels of urgency and starting points.
AI Governance Readiness Assessment
As organisations adopt AI faster than governance frameworks can keep up, this assessment reviews how well your AI use is managed, from oversight and human review to regulatory awareness across the UK, EU, and beyond. Currently in final testing ahead of launch.
Why we built it this way
Every assessment in the suite runs on the same underlying engine, so the experience is consistent no matter which topic you're assessing, the same clear scoring model, the same quality of reporting, the same attention to making results genuinely useful rather than just a number. It also means new assessments can be added as new risks and regulations emerge, without rebuilding the platform each time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the assessment for?
Any organisation, small to medium-sized, in any sector.
Can I stop and finish an assessment later?
Yes. Progress saves automatically, and you can resume where you left off.
Can multiple people in my organisation contribute to one assessment?
Not directly within the assessment itself, but you can save your progress and share the link with a colleague to continue or contribute.
Do I need to provide evidence for my answers?
No. The assessment is self-reported, you answer based on your own knowledge of your organisation's practices, with no documents or evidence to upload.
Can I get my report again later?
Yes, your PDF report can be retrieved after the fact rather than only being available at the moment you finish.
Do I need to give my contact and company details?
Yes, to unlock and deliver your report, but it's stored against your response record, not attached to the report itself, so the report ID alone doesn't identify who it belongs to.
Are these assessments really free?
Yes. There's no charge to complete an assessment or view your report, and no sales call required.
What happens after I complete it, will someone contact me?
We may follow up by email to offer a chance to talk through your results, not a sales call, just an option if you'd find it useful. You can opt out at any time; see our privacy notice for details.
Is my data shared with anyone else?
We don't share your data with third parties. It's only used within our own business processes, our CRM and website, as set out in our privacy notice.
