Free data risk assessment

See your data risk before you spend a penny.

A no-cost, no-obligation assessment of your unstructured data and directory services. We show you where sensitive data is exposed, who has access they don’t need and what has gone stale, then give you a prioritised plan to fix it.

Objectives

What the assessment is for

Most organisations can’t easily answer four questions about their data: who can access it, who should, which of it is sensitive, and how much is no longer needed. The assessment answers them.

Reveal exposure

Find sensitive and regulated data that is open to far more people than need it.

Right-size access

Show where users and accounts hold access they no longer use or need.

Find stale data

Measure data nobody has touched in years, which adds cost and risk for no value.

Give you a plan

Rank every finding by risk and set out practical steps, so you know where to start.

What we look at

Six areas of data risk

A high-level review of the controls that decide who can reach your data, measured against recognised best practice.

Access

Open and global access

Folders and sites open to everyone in the organisation through broad groups such as “Everyone” or “Domain Users”.

Sensitive data

Exposed sensitive files

Personal, financial and confidential files that sit in widely accessible locations.

Stale data

Stale and ROT data

Data and sensitive files that haven’t been used for years, and how much storage they take up.

Accounts

User accounts

Accounts that are enabled but unused, users with access left over from old roles, and passwords that never expire.

Groups and directory hygiene

Empty security groups and permissions left behind by deleted accounts.

Permissions

Permission structure

Broken inheritance, permissions granted directly to individuals and overly complex structures that hide who has access.

What you receive

A clear report, not a sales pitch

You get a written report you can share with your board, auditors or IT team, followed by a walkthrough with one of our specialists.

Every finding is measured, explained in plain English and compared with a best-practice target, so you can see exactly how far you are from where you should be.
