Most business leaders know they should have a position on cyber and IT risk. Fewer have actually tested whether they do. This checklist is designed to close that gap — not by adding complexity, but by asking fifteen straightforward questions that every SME board should be able to answer with confidence.
It is not a technical audit. It does not require your IT supplier to be in the room. It is a tool for the leadership team to work through honestly, so you know where you stand before something goes wrong.
If you work through the checklist and find there are areas where you cannot give a confident answer, the most useful next step is usually an independent view of where you actually stand.
Northstar's Board-Level IT & Cyber Risk Review covers all fifteen areas in depth. It is a one-off, independent assessment delivered as a plain-English report for the leadership team — with a clear, prioritised view of what to address and in what order.
The checklist tells you where the gaps are. Northstar's Board-Level IT & Cyber Risk Review tells you what they mean and what to do about them — in plain English, without vendor bias.
