Try Before You Buy: Free Sample Cybersecurity Assessment

Most SaaS platforms won't let you see how they work until you've signed up, handed over payment details, and sat through a demo call.

We think that's backwards.

So we built a free sample assessment that lets you experience exactly what RateYourCyber does - no strings attached.

What Is the Sample Assessment?

The free sample is a cut-down version of our full cybersecurity assessment platform. It covers three of the eight security domains and takes about five minutes to complete.

Think of it like a test drive. You're not buying the car yet - you're just seeing if you like how it handles.

Here's what you'll experience:

• The same assessment methodology we use for paying customers
• Real industry benchmarking data
• Actual strategic recommendations
• The exact interface and user experience

The only difference? It's a sample. You get three domains instead of eight. But those three domains are fully functional and give you a genuine feel for how the platform works.

What You Actually Get

Here's what happens when you complete the sample assessment:

Step 1: Experience Our Assessment Approach

You answer strategic questions about three critical security domains:

• Security Leadership & Governance - How your organization approaches cybersecurity strategy
• Access Control & Authentication - How you manage who gets access to what
• Security Training & Awareness - How you prepare your people

Each question uses our maturity model approach. You simply select which level best describes your organization. No jargon. No trick questions. Just strategic thinking.

Step 2: See Real Industry Benchmarking

The moment you complete the sample, you get real results:

• Your score for these three domains
• How you compare to industry averages based on survey data from 500+ organizations
• Domain-by-domain performance breakdown
• Visual representation of strengths and gaps

This isn't fake demo data. It's actual benchmarking that shows you where you stand in these specific areas.

Real results showing your performance vs industry peers

Step 3: Get a Sample Strategic Roadmap

You receive tactical recommendations for the three domains you assessed:

• Year 1: Foundation priorities
• Year 2: Maturity improvements
• Year 3: Advanced capabilities

These recommendations are tailored to your current maturity level. They show you exactly the kind of strategic guidance the full platform provides.

Why Offer a Sample?

Simple: we want you to see if our approach fits your needs before you commit anything.

RateYourCyber isn't for everyone. Some organizations need hands-on consulting. Others want a different methodology. Some prefer the traditional certification route.

The five-minute sample lets you discover whether our approach works for you without any risk or obligation.

What It Isn't

Let's be crystal clear about what the sample assessment is not:

• It's not comprehensive - You're only seeing 3 of 8 security domains
• It's not a full report - No policy documents, compliance mappings, or executive summaries
• It's not ongoing - No dashboard access, no updates, no continuous monitoring
• It's not a replacement - This won't replace a proper security assessment

Think of it as looking through a window. You see what's inside, but you're not in the room yet.

What the Full Platform Includes

If you like what you see in the sample, the full RateYourCyber platform gives you:

• All eight security domains assessed comprehensively
• Detailed compliance mappings to frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2
• Automated policy document generation
• Executive summary reports ready for board presentations
• Three-year implementation roadmap across all domains
• Ongoing dashboard access with updates as you improve
• Comparative benchmarking across multiple dimensions

But don't take our word for it. Try the sample first.

No Catch, No Gimmick

You won't get follow-up sales emails. You won't be pressured to upgrade. The sample is genuinely free because we believe good software sells itself.

If our approach resonates with you after trying the sample, you'll know. If it doesn't, you've lost nothing but five minutes.

Who Should Try This?

The sample assessment is perfect for:

• Skeptics who've been burned by overhyped security tools before
• Evaluators comparing different assessment approaches
• Budget holders who need to justify investment to leadership
• Security leaders wondering if this methodology fits their organization
• Anyone curious about what a modern security assessment looks like

What Happens After?

After completing the sample, you have three options:

Option 1: Walk away
Take the insights from the three domains and do nothing else. That's completely fine. The sample is yours to use however you want.

Option 2: Upgrade to the full platform
If you like what you see, you can access the comprehensive assessment covering all eight domains, with full reporting and policy generation capabilities.

Option 3: Just keep it in mind
Maybe now isn't the right time. That's okay too. The sample gives you a sense of what's possible when you're ready.
