This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240039946 titled 'CYBERSECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT AND REMEDIATION TOOL
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed embodiments pertain to cybersecurity assessment and remediation. A questionnaire comprising a set of questions can be generated and provided electronically to a device of a small business representative. In one instance, the questionnaire can be dynamically responsive to input to focus on questions relevant to a particular business. Responses to questions can be used to generate a score that captures cyberattack readiness and a recommendation to reduce cybersecurity risk. Further, tests can be executed on a technology stack of the business. Test results can then be employed as a basis to generate the score and recommendation.
