A backup job running is not the same as a backup that works. Questions 1 and 2 check whether yours has been restore-tested in the last 30 days, and whether anyone finds out when it fails overnight.

Questions 3, 4, and 5 cover the 3 most common breach entry points on Indian SME Linux servers: unpatched kernels, unknown SSH keys, and active credentials belonging to people who left months ago.

Questions 6 and 7 check whether you have any warning before your ERP stops and a customer calls to tell you.

Questions 8 and 9 ask whether there is a documented plan and a named person who owns the problem at 11pm on a Saturday. Most SMEs have neither.

Question 10 tests whether your infrastructure survives whoever currently manages it. If the answer is no, you have a dependency, not a managed server.

0–2 gaps

Reasonable shape. A 30-minute audit confirms it and closes whatever is still open.

3–5 gaps

At least 2 of these will produce a real incident within 12 months. Fixing them now costs a fraction of recovering after the fact.

6–8 gaps

One silent backup failure, one missed patch, one former developer’s SSH key — and recovery starts at ₹50,000 minimum. Your server is carrying risk your business has not priced in.

9–10 gaps

Multiple failure points are live right now. The cost of fixing this today is a fraction of what recovery costs after the event.
