The Technology
Risk Assessment

Ten practical questions that reveal whether your technology is supporting the business—or quietly preparing the next expensive surprise.

Answer honestly. Score 1 risk point for every “No,” “Not sure,” or “It’s complicated.” A lower score is better.

Ten-question technology risk assessment

01If your most technical person became unavailable tomorrow, could someone else use current documentation and secured credentials to keep the business operating?
02Could you restore critical systems and data within an acceptable amount of downtime using backups that have been tested—not merely assumed to work?
03Is multifactor authentication required for critical access, and can employee or contractor permissions be changed or removed quickly and reliably?
04Can leadership see a current inventory of devices, applications, vulnerabilities, security alerts, compliance obligations, and who owns each one?
05Do employees have a clear support and escalation path—and are recurring problems permanently corrected instead of repeatedly closed?
06Are Microsoft 365 and other cloud services intentionally governed for permissions, sharing, retention, recovery, administrative access, and licensing cost?
07Are network diagrams, configurations, internet connections, Wi-Fi, cabling, warranties, and continuity options documented and ready for growth?
08Do cameras, access control, facility sensors, and operational alerts match real business risks—with clear recipients, response instructions, and ownership?
09Are AI and automation efforts tied to a defined workflow, trusted data, human oversight, and a measurable business outcome?
10Does leadership maintain one prioritized technology roadmap connecting risk, lifecycle, vendors, contracts, budget, projects, and business goals?

READ THE DIAGNOSTIC

What your score means.

0–2 · Built with intention

Your technology has more discipline than most. Keep testing, documenting, and challenging assumptions.

3–5 · Unmanaged exposure

Real risk is hiding inside key people, recovery, security, operations, vendors, or planning.

6–8 · Costly-surprise territory

An outage, departure, breach, failed project, or major change could expose several weak points at once.

9–10 · Running on hope

The business is relying on assumptions where it needs evidence, ownership, and a prioritized plan.

CLARITY BEFORE COMPLEXITY

Technology problems rarely schedule themselves.

If you scored 3 or higher, start by identifying which gap could most seriously interrupt operations, expose the business, waste money, or slow growth. Then turn that risk into one practical next step.
