Free Cybersecurity Tools for CISOs and Security Teams
Pick the artifact you need, run the browser-based tool, and leave with something useful: a questionnaire, requirements map, risk register, matrix, or readiness snapshot. No account required, and each tool is paired with GreenHat guidance so the output is easier to interpret.

Figure out what requirements apply
Map Canadian privacy, cyber, sector, procurement, and contract signals before leadership asks for a plan.
Review a vendor before access
Turn onboarding, renewal, privileged access, or sensitive data sharing into a structured vendor review.
Show risk to leadership
Build a lightweight register, customize likelihood and impact, and export a risk matrix for discussion.
Assess an AI vendor or workflow
Check data use, retention, model behavior, logging, governance, and incident response before approval.
Start a quantum readiness conversation
Score PQC planning, cryptographic inventory, crypto agility, vendor readiness, and HNDL exposure.
No account required
Open the tool, answer what you know, and leave without a login wall.
Answers stay in your browser
Most tools keep working data local until you choose to export or continue.
Built for CISO artifacts
Outputs are designed for vendor reviews, risk conversations, requirements maps, and readiness planning.
Start With The Artifact You Need
These tools are designed around common CISO workflows: understanding obligations, reviewing vendors, and converting findings into risk decisions leadership can act on.
Each starting point links to a tool and a related guide, so the output has context instead of becoming another orphaned spreadsheet.
Step 1
Map requirements
Start with the obligations and pressure signals that shape the security program.
Recommended tool
Cybersecurity and Privacy Requirements for Your Organization
Output: Requirements summary
Step 2
Collect evidence
Use the vendor security assessment questionnaire when third parties touch systems or sensitive data.
Recommended tool
Vendor Security Assessment Questionnaire Template
Output: Browser-local PDF
Step 3
Prioritize risk
Translate findings into a risk register and matrix that leadership can actually use.
Recommended tool
Cyber Risk Matrix Builder
Output: CSV + printable matrix

Data handling
No account required; responses remain local.
Quantum Readiness Assessment
Score post-quantum cryptography readiness, harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure, cryptographic inventory, crypto agility, and vendor readiness.
Best when
Use when you need an early PQC roadmap conversation with IT, security, procurement, and vendors.
Output
CSV + PDF
Data handling
No account required; responses stay local until export.
