Viewing your results
Once you’ve completed a security assessment, you’ll be taken to the results page. This page will show you your Onwardly Score and a breakdown of your score from your most recent assessment. If you want to view these again later on, simply go to the Security tab.
If you’ve been given a suggested goal
Your security assessment answers and the size of your company will determine the level of maturity you should aim to reach. Don’t worry if your results fall under that goal, Onwardly will help you to improve your security program and increase your company’s level of maturity. If you haven’t reached the goal, your results page will show your current score and a suggested goal. Underneath your suggested goal, you can click View your tasks to go to the Tasks tab or scroll down to view your score breakdown by domain. Once you’ve completed more tasks and improved your security program, you can retake the assessment to get a new Onwardly Score and see if you’ve reached your goal.
If you’ve reached your goal
If your security assessment answers and company size mean you’ve reached your goal, well done! You’ll still see the same summary so that you can identify areas that could be improved. Cybersecurity is a constantly evolving industry and even if you’ve reached the recommended level of maturity, there is always room to grow. Review your results and keep going at building the best security program for your organisation.
Score breakdown by domain
Below your Onwardly Score, you’ll see the Score breakdown by domain from your most recent assessment. This shows your percentage score from each of the domains as well as recommended tasks for each domain. You can use this breakdown to determine the areas in your security program that need the most attention and focus on the tasks recommended under that domain. You can click through to any of the tasks on that page to make a start at improvising your Onwardly Score.
Viewing your past assessments
You may want to view your progress over time to see how your Onwardly Score has improved. You can view all past assessments along with their Onwardly Scores, when it was taken, and you can download a PDF copy of the answers. To do this:
- On the security page, click on View past assessments located under either your reached goal or suggested goal.
- On the past assessments page you will be able to view your past assessment score. Click on Download answers to download a PDF copy of your answers.
