Free tools that give you a number

No forms, no email address, no follow-up call you didn't ask for. Each of these runs entirely in your browser and hands you something you can act on.

IT Risk Calculator

New

16 questions on the controls that decide how bad an IT incident gets — backups, MFA, endpoint protection, patching, email authentication and more. You get a weighted score out of 100, a risk band, and your weakest areas ordered by how much each one is costing you, each with a plain-English next step.

What you get

A weighted 0–100 risk score — lower is better — and where it puts you
Your gaps ranked worst-first, not an undifferentiated checklist
A concrete next step for each gap, in plain English
A printable summary you can take to a management meeting

Email Spoofing Check

New

Enter your domain and this reads the three public DNS records that decide whether your email can be forged — SPF, DKIM and DMARC. You get a protection score, a plain-English explanation of every gap, and a DMARC record you can publish the same day. Works on a supplier's domain too, which is worth doing before you accept payment instructions by email.

What you get

A 0–100 protection score — higher is better
Whether SPF, DKIM and DMARC are actually published and enforcing
A specific fix for each gap, in plain English
A starter DMARC record ready to paste into your DNS

Managed IT Quote Checker

New

Holding a quote from a managed IT provider? Two proposals at the same monthly price can be completely different agreements. Work through 26 checks covering scope, security inclusions, backup, who owns your Microsoft 365 tenant, and what it costs to leave. You get a clarity score out of 100, a breakdown by section, and the exact questions to put to the provider.

What you get

A 0–100 clarity score for the document, not the price — higher is better
A section-by-section read on where the quote is thin
A prioritized list of questions, ready to paste into an email
A printable summary to compare two proposals side by side

Downtime & Backup Cost Calculator

Put in how much data you hold, how often it's backed up and how long it takes anyone to notice a problem. The calculator estimates your hourly cost of downtime and what a single outage would cost under your current setup versus a fast-recovery one.

What you get

Your estimated cost of downtime per hour
What one outage costs under your current backup setup
The difference a tested, fast-recovery backup would make

Why these are actually free

Because a tool that traps its answer behind an email form isn't a tool, it's a lead magnet. These run entirely in your browser — nothing you type is transmitted to us, stored, or logged, and there's no analytics event carrying your answers. If what you see makes you want a second opinion, you know where we are. If it just gives you a to-do list you work through yourself, that's a good outcome too.
