1. Assessment
Identify weak areas across the business using a practical SME-focused question set.
Methodology
How Resiliscore works for SMEs
Resiliscore is designed to give SMEs a practical view of cyber resilience. It is not a technical audit and not a compliance certificate. Its purpose is to show where resilience is most likely to fail under pressure, what is inconsistent, and what should be improved first.
Three-layer model
From assessment to action
Resiliscore works in three simple layers: first it identifies the gaps, then it defines the control that should exist, and then it gives practical implementation guidance so the business knows how to fix the weakness.
2. Control definition
Explain what control should exist in plain English, without audit jargon.
3. Implementation guidance
Show how SMEs typically fix the issue, including effort, cost level, and expected maturity improvement.
Core idea
The resilience visibility gap
Many businesses believe they are reasonably protected because they have tools, policies, backups, or an IT provider. The real issue is whether those controls are actually consistent, owned, and provable when pressure appears.
Resiliscore is built to expose that gap: the difference between perceived resilience and provable resilience.
What the assessment is based on
A practical resilience structure for smaller businesses
Built for SMEs, not enterprise security teams
Resiliscore is designed for smaller businesses that need a practical view of resilience without technical jargon, consultancy-style over-explaining, or enterprise complexity.
Focused on the resilience visibility gap
The assessment is designed to expose the gap between what a business believes is in place and what it can actually demonstrate under pressure.
Structured around real operational pressure points
The report looks at the areas where disruption usually becomes visible first: ownership, access, operations, response, recovery, supplier dependency, and evidence.
Assessment scope
The resilience areas covered by Resiliscore
The assessment is structured across the operational areas that usually determine whether an SME can withstand disruption, respond clearly, and recover with confidence.

What the report is designed to show
More than a score or checklist
The output is intended to be commercially useful. It should help a business owner, operator, or decision-maker understand what is likely to matter first, without needing to interpret technical language or buy a larger audit too early.
Where resilience is likely to be weaker than the business assumes
Where disruption is most likely to begin if nothing changes
What is probably happening operationally today
What to fix first in practical, SME-friendly language
How to turn the result into a clearer 30 / 60 / 90 day plan
What Resiliscore is not
Important boundaries
Resiliscore is not a penetration test, formal cyber audit, or certification process. It is a practical resilience assessment intended to help SMEs identify weak points, prioritise action, and decide where deeper support may be needed.
