Free scan
Free scan: ten questions to find out where your security stands.
The Ryze Cyber free scan is a questionnaire. You answer yes or no to ten questions about your access, your data, your team and your AI tools. A score out of 100 appears straight away, with your weak points by area. Nothing is tested on your systems: the technical survey of what an attacker sees from the internet is a paid plan, the External scan, at EUR 490 (or CHF 490) excluding tax.
Key point. "Free scan" here means a self-assessment, calculated from your answers. It is not a vulnerability scan, an audit or a certificate.
What does the free scan measure?
Ten questions, spread over four areas. Each question is about one basic measure.
| Area | The question asked |
|---|---|
| Access | Two-factor authentication is switched on for your email and key tools. |
| Access | The team uses a password manager. |
| Access | Administrator rights are limited to a few people. |
| Data | Your backups are tested (you have already restored a file). |
| Data | Updates to computers and the website are done every month. |
| Data | You keep an up-to-date list of the company's devices and accounts. |
| Team | The team has been trained to spot a fraudulent email. |
| Team | You know who to call and what to do in case of an attack. |
| AI and testing | The use of AI tools with company data follows clear rules. |
| AI and testing | Your website or applications were tested less than 12 months ago. |
How is the score calculated?
Simply: each "yes" is worth 10 points, each "no" is worth zero. The total gives a score out of 100. One bar per area shows where your "no" answers are concentrated. The result falls into one of three bands:
| Score | What the scan displays |
|---|---|
| 80 to 100 | Good foundations. An audit will confirm what is still exposed. |
| 50 to 70 | Some protections are in place, but several important points are missing. |
| 0 to 40 | Your business is exposed on essential points. Deal with these first. |
The calculation is the same for every company. It does not weight the questions by sector or size: it is a benchmark, not a diagnosis.
What does the free scan not do?
- It does not touch your systems. No request is sent to your website, your servers or your accounts.
- It does not check your answers. If you answer "yes" for a measure that is only half in place, the score will be too flattering.
- It does not find flaws. It spots missing measures, not open doors. Finding a flaw takes a real test, within a signed framework.
- It is not a certificate. You cannot present it to an insurer or a client as proof of testing.
Questionnaire, external scan or penetration test?
| Free scan | External scan | Full audit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nature | 10-question questionnaire. | Survey of what is visible from the internet. | In-depth, manual test. |
| Are your systems tested? | No. | Yes, from outside, within a signed framework. | Yes, within the scope and on the dates fixed by contract. |
| Published price, excluding tax | Free | EUR 490 or CHF 490 | EUR 1,490 or CHF 1,490 |
What each one shows is detailed in scan or penetration test. The six plans are on the penetration test pricing page.
What happens after the score?
- The score appears straight away. You see it without giving your name or your email. As long as you do not send the form, nothing is transmitted.
- You can request a quote. You then give the size of the company, the country, your name, your company and a business email, and agree to be contacted.
- Your answers go with the request. The score and the list of your "no" answers are sent with your contact details, to prepare a suitable quote.
The form offers five countries: Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany and Austria. For a company established elsewhere, write to contact@ryzesystems.io.
What do you do with each "no"?
A "no" is not a fault, it is a line of work. Three of them come first, because they close the most common ways in:
- No two-factor authentication: switch it on first for email and administrator accounts.
- Backups never restored: restore a file this week. A backup only counts if it can be restored.
- Too many administrator rights: cut the list down to the people who really need them.
For the rest, the Ryze Cyber Blue Team hardens access and backups and checks every month. See Red Team and Blue Team.
