🛡️ Why a Security Self-Assessment Is Critical for Your Business

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UAE face increasing pressure to safeguard their digital and physical environments. From data protection regulations to customer trust, your security posture can define your success—or expose you to costly risks.

The first step to better protection? Knowing where you stand.

That’s why Agan Cyber Security LLC has developed a free, easy-to-use Security Audit Self-Assessment Tool that empowers business owners and IT managers to evaluate their current security readiness.

✅ What Is the Security Audit Self-Assessment Tool?

Our tool is a comprehensive checklist and scoring framework designed to help UAE businesses:

Identify weaknesses in cyber and physical security
Understand compliance gaps with UAE regulations (e.g., Cybercrime Law, GDPR)
Benchmark current security practices
Prioritize areas that need improvement
Make informed decisions about upgrading security measures

No technical expertise is needed—just answer honestly and we’ll show you where your risks are.

🧩 What Areas Does the Assessment Cover?

The tool evaluates your security across 6 critical domains:

1. Network & Cybersecurity: Firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS/IPS), Endpoint protection and antivirus tools, Network segmentation and VPN usage, Email security and phishing defenses
2. Data Protection & Backup: Encryption policies, Data access controls, Cloud storage safety, Backup frequency and testing
3. Physical Security: CCTV surveillance coverage, Access control (biometric/RFID), Visitor management and perimeter safety, Secure storage for sensitive devices
4. Policies & Compliance: Security policies (acceptable use, BYOD, remote work), GDPR and UAE Cybercrime Law compliance, Regular audits and documentation, Third-party/vendor risk management
5. Employee Awareness & Training: Cybersecurity awareness programs, Regular training and phishing simulations, Role-based access control, Insider threat prevention
6. Incident Response & Recovery: Defined incident response plan, Business continuity and disaster recovery planning, Logging and event monitoring, Post-breach analysis and response drills
