That helps a lot when you need to justify a budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It shows you a before and after. Take a score today and again in six months, and you\u2019ll see whether the money you spent in between made a difference. Very few IT investments can show that so clearly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It tells you what to fix first. A good score doesn\u2019t just give you a number.

A score only measures what can be checked, and plenty of real risk can\u2019t be, starting with whether your team would catch a convincing fake invoice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It isn\u2019t a grade on your team, either.

It reflects the day it was taken, which is why the trend over time matters more than any one score.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to use one<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Get a starting score, look at the top three things dragging it down, and price out fixing those three.
