CISO Tools
Data Protection and Sensitive Information Security Assessment
Assess how well your organization identifies, secures, shares, monitors, and recovers sensitive data across email, file shares, cloud platforms, endpoints, and backups.
Created by OC Security Audit under the guidance of Ali Hassani, CISO, with 25+ years of cybersecurity, compliance, Microsoft 365 security, network security, firewall, backup, and risk assessment experience.
Why This Matters
Data Protection and Sensitive Information Security Assessment
Sensitive data security is not just about encryption. It includes knowing where data lives, who can access it, how it is shared, whether it is backed up, and whether users and systems treat it according to business and compliance expectations.
This tool helps surface gaps in data identification, classification, access governance, secure sharing, DLP readiness, backup resilience, and cloud-era data protection practices.
What the result helps you see: overall readiness score, maturity level, key gaps, risk areas, missing documentation or controls, practical recommendations, and suggested next consulting steps.
Professional CISO Perspective
Practical guidance for business owners, IT managers, CISOs, and compliance leaders
OC Security Audit designed this tool to help leadership teams find important cybersecurity gaps without collecting personal information or sending data anywhere.
The assessment runs entirely in the browser and produces an immediate visual score, category breakdown, and recommendation summary that can support planning discussions before a deeper review.
