Technology maturity checks

Itwerx is a service-disabled veteran-owned managed IT provider serving Seattle-area businesses since 2005, and these are short self-scoring questionnaires for the industries we work in. You answer, you get a score, and that is the end of it.

A short self-scoring questionnaire for each of the industries we work in. You answer, you get a score and a read on where you sit, and that is the end of it. No email address, no call, nothing to sign up for.

Each one is written for its own industry rather than adapted from a generic list, so the questions are about the systems and the obligations you actually have. Pick whichever is closest.

  • Accounting – 26 questions, about seven minutes. Written around FTC Safeguards Rule – penalty-backed.
  • Architecture & Engineering – 27 questions, about seven minutes. Written around NIST 800-171 / CMMC (federal subset only).
  • BioTech – 27 questions, about seven minutes. Written around HIPAA/FDA (subset).
  • Clinical & Diagnostic Labs – 27 questions, about seven minutes. Written around CLIA + CAP inspection; HIPAA + signed BAA.
  • Construction – 24 questions, about seven minutes. Written around (soft / contractual).
  • Construction Materials Labs – 27 questions, about seven minutes. Written around WABO / AASHTO accreditation.
  • Construction Suppliers – 26 questions, about seven minutes. Written around Soft / EDI trading-partner terms.

  • RIA / Wealth Management – 26 questions, about seven minutes. Written around SEC Reg S-P – active exam priority.

  • Title & Escrow – 26 questions, about seven minutes. Written around GLBA WISP + ALTA Best Practices 4.2 (lender-pushed).

If none of these is a close fit, the nearest one is usually still worth the seven minutes. Most of what it asks about is not industry specific.
