CyberGrade
CyberGrade is an AI-powered cybersecurity assessment platform designed for small businesses to quickly evaluate their security posture. Users answer 10 plain-English questions covering passwords, backups, devices, email, and networks, receiving an overall letter grade (A+ to F) and a breakdown across seven security categories. The tool generates a prioritized action plan with specific remediation steps, sorted by impact and effort, making it accessible for non-technical business owners. The free Quick Scan provides a one-time snapshot, while paid Starter and Professional plans offer ongoing monthly re-scoring, trend tracking, branded PDF reports, detailed remediation plans, and alerts. The Professional tier includes a full 33-question deep assessment, employee security policy templates, an acceptable use policy generator, an incident response plan template, and a quarterly advisory call. CyberGrade is intended as a practical starting point rather than a replacement for formal audits or penetration tests. It empowers business owners to identify and address their most critical vulnerabilities without requiring technical expertise or a financial commitment for the initial evaluation.
