What the Cybersecurity Domain Covers

LineaScore's cybersecurity assessment covers the key areas an IT advisor or MSP evaluates when reviewing a client's security posture:

• Endpoint Protection — Antivirus/EDR deployment, coverage consistency, and management status across all devices
• Access Management — Multi-factor authentication, least-privilege access, privileged account controls, and offboarding procedures
• Backup and Recovery — Backup frequency, coverage, offsite/cloud storage, and tested recovery procedures
• Patch Management — OS and application update cadence, end-of-life software, and patch consistency
• Incident Response — Documented response plan, detection capability, and communication procedures
• Email Security — Spam/phishing filtering, DMARC/SPF/DKIM configuration, and user awareness
• Security Awareness — Training program, phishing simulation, and policy documentation
• Network Security — Firewall configuration, segmentation, wireless security, and remote access controls

Scored Assessment, Not a Checklist

Unlike a static checklist, LineaScore scores each assessment area on a four-tier scale — from S4 (Strong) to S1 (Critical) — and surfaces a prioritized view of where the environment is well-managed and where gaps require attention. The output is a client-ready report, not a raw list.

Framework-Aligned Templates for Security-Focused Clients

For clients where framework alignment matters — HIPAA-covered entities, organizations referencing NIST CSF — LineaScore Pro includes HIPAA-aligned and NIST CSF-aligned assessment templates. These provide a framework-referenced cybersecurity view using the same scored, report-generating platform.

The standard cybersecurity domain assessment in the free plan covers the same operational areas as the framework-aligned templates — it simply doesn't map findings to a specific framework structure. For most clients, the standard assessment is the right starting point.
