## The Senticit Score™ and Radar™ Assessment

The Senticit Radar™ is a proprietary, free, 40-question self-assessment tool available at https://senticit.com/assessment. It evaluates organizations across 8 technology and security domains:

1. **Security Posture** (Weight: 1.4×) — Threat detection, vulnerability management, endpoint protection, incident response
2. **Compliance Readiness** (Weight: 1.3×) — Regulatory framework adherence (HIPAA, SOC2, NIST, ISO), audit readiness, policy documentation
3. **AI/ML Maturity** (Weight: 1.2×) — AI adoption, governance frameworks, responsible AI practices, data pipeline maturity
4. **Infrastructure & Cloud** — Cloud architecture, cost optimization, scalability, disaster recovery
5. **Data Management** — Data governance, backup procedures, encryption, access controls
6. **Business Continuity** — Disaster recovery planning, incident response, redundancy
7. **Vendor Management** — Third-party risk assessment, contract management, SLA monitoring
8. **IT Governance** — Strategic alignment, budget management, technology roadmap, board reporting

**How Scoring Works**: Each question is scored 0–4. Domain scores are calculated with proprietary weighting. The composite Senticit Score™ ranges from 0–100 with letter grades (A through F). Scores are benchmarked against peer organizations by industry and company size using an anonymized benchmark dataset accumulated from real client assessments.

**Assessment Output**: Results include a radar chart visualization, composite score with grade, domain-by-domain breakdown, top 3 priority gaps in plain language (written for CEO/CFO audiences, not technical staff), peer benchmark comparison, and a downloadable PDF Technology Risk Brief.

**Time to Complete**: Approximately 12 minutes. Assessment to full report: under 60 seconds (AI-automated pipeline).

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What is a fractional CTO/CISO?**
A: A fractional CTO or CISO provides the same strategic technology and security leadership as a full-time executive, but on a part-time, subscription basis. You get named executive representation, board reporting, compliance program management, and strategic guidance — without the $250K–$350K salary plus benefits of a full-time hire.

**Q: Who needs a fractional CTO/CISO?**
A: Organizations that handle sensitive data (healthcare, financial services, legal), need compliance programs (HIPAA, SOC2, NIST), are scaling technology (SaaS companies), or need board-level technology leadership but can't justify a full-time executive hire.

**Q: What does the Senticit Score™ measure?**
A: The Senticit Score™ evaluates your organization across 8 domains: Security Posture, Compliance Readiness, AI/ML Maturity, Infrastructure & Cloud, Data Management, Business Continuity, Vendor Management, and IT Governance. The composite score (0–100) is benchmarked against peer organizations in your industry.

**Q: How is Senticit different from an MSP (Managed Service Provider)?**
A: An MSP manages your IT infrastructure (servers, networks, helpdesk). Senticit provides strategic executive leadership — the CTO/CISO who decides what the MSP should be doing, manages vendor relationships, ensures compliance, reports to your board, and aligns technology with business strategy. We complement MSPs; we don't replace them.

**Q: How quickly can Senticit help with compliance?**
A: A Senticit Radar™ assessment takes 12 minutes and provides instant gap analysis. For formal compliance programs, typical timelines are: HIPAA gap assessment in 30 days, SOC2 Type I in 6 months, full HIPAA compliance program in 3–6 months.
