Cybersecurity is more than installing antivirus software. Protecting an organization requires multiple layers of security working together across users, devices, networks, data, backups, policies, and response procedures.

The PBCLLC Cybersecurity Checklist provides a straightforward way to evaluate where your organization currently stands. No advanced technical experience is required.

In only a few minutes, you can identify areas that appear strong, areas that may need improvement, and potential security gaps that deserve further attention.

What You'll Learn

Use the Checklist to:

  • Identify critical security gaps
  • Evaluate your IT security posture
  • Check compliance readiness
  • Review defenses against phishing and ransomware
  • Evaluate internal security risks
  • Review backup and recovery readiness
  • Prioritize your next cybersecurity steps
What's Inside

Seven Areas of Cybersecurity Readiness

The checklist examines key areas that help determine how prepared your organization is to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents.

01

Access Controls & Password Security

Evaluate whether accounts, authentication, passwords, permissions, and access controls are aligned with modern security practices.

02

Network & Endpoint Protection

Review firewalls, endpoint security, patching, secure configurations, antivirus, and EDR protections.

03

Threat Detection & Response

Consider how quickly your organization could identify, investigate, contain, and respond when something goes wrong.

04

Employee Security Awareness

Evaluate whether employees understand phishing, social engineering, suspicious activity, and their role in protecting organizational information.

05

Backups & Disaster Recovery

Determine whether backups are protected, tested, verified, and capable of supporting recovery when systems or data become unavailable.

06

Compliance & Cyber Insurance

Review readiness for requirements that may involve HIPAA, PCI, NIST, cybersecurity insurance, and other organizational obligations.

07

Overall Risk Score

Bring the assessment together into a simple indicator showing where your organization stands today and where improvement may be needed.

Beyond a Security Product

Cybersecurity Requires Multiple Layers Working Together.

A firewall alone cannot protect every endpoint. Endpoint security cannot compensate for every weak password. Backups cannot prevent phishing, and employee training cannot replace technical controls.

A stronger cybersecurity posture combines people, processes, and technology. The checklist helps you look across those areas rather than focusing on a single security product.

Prevent Reduce opportunities for unauthorized access and compromise.
Protect Apply security controls across users, devices, networks, and data.
Detect Identify suspicious activity and potential security events.
Respond Know how the organization will react when an incident occurs.
Recover Maintain the ability to restore systems and data after disruption.
