Cybersecurity Risk Self-Assessment is a tool for conducting an initial, independent evaluation of your company's resilience against cyber threats. By answering the 20 questions in our test, fintech startups and small to medium-sized businesses operating in the EU/EEA can determine their approximate cyber risk level, identify potential gaps across key security areas, and receive recommendations for the next steps.
We understand the importance of regular self-assessments, which is why we offer this free cyber security self-assessment questionnaire, developed based on Datami's 9 years of experience in penetration testing for financial sector organizations and aligned with the requirements of NIS2, GDPR, PCI DSS, PSD2, and DORA.
