| Free Security Assessment
Do you actually know how secure your business is?
Nearly half of all cyber crime in NZ targets small businesses. Most of them didn’t know they had a gap until something went wrong. This free cyber security assessment takes about five minutes and shows you where your business stands - in plain English, not IT speak.
Free to use. No sign-up needed. No IT knowledge required.
Trusted by Canterbury healthcare practices, law firms, and insurance brokers. 4.8/5 on Google.
Check My Business NowFour things most businesses haven’t properly sorted:
Who can get in
Passwords and account access seem straightforward until a staff member leaves and their login stays active for three months.
Whether your devices are actually updated
Most computers don't update themselves the way people think. There's a gap between "it asked me to update" and "it's been done."
What happens if something goes wrong
Not just backups - whether you could actually keep working if your main software went down today.
Whether your team would spot a scam
Phishing emails are behind most business breaches in NZ. Technical controls only go so far.
It's a structured check of how well your business is protected against common threats - things like unauthorised access, data loss, and staff being tricked by scam emails. A proper assessment looks at your systems, your processes, and your people. This self-check covers the basics any Canterbury business should have in place, in questions you can answer without an IT background.
No. Every question is written for a business owner or practice manager, not an IT person. If you can answer "who looks after your computers when something breaks," you can complete this.
Common questions
The NCSC's Own Your Online tool is a good starting point for any NZ business. This self-check is built specifically for professional services businesses in Canterbury - healthcare practices, law firms, insurance brokers - where client confidentiality and data obligations under the NZ Privacy Act 2020 add an extra layer of risk. The questions and scoring reflect that context.
Your score and breakdown are shown immediately on screen. Nothing is stored unless you choose to share your details at the end. That part is completely optional.
Most businesses find at least one or two gaps - that's the point of doing it. A low score doesn't mean you're about to get hacked. It means there are things worth sorting. The scorecard tells you which areas need attention, and if you want to talk through what fixing them looks like, an IT Fit Check with our team takes 15 minutes.
Yes. No credit card, no sign-up, no catch. ITstuffed built this because most Canterbury businesses don't have a clear picture of where they stand - and we think that's worth fixing, whether or not they ever become a client.
