Free Cyber Diagnostics Program for Businesses to Protect Ukrainian SMEs from Cyber Threats

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ukraine now have the opportunity to receive one of three free services for cybersecurity diagnostics of their digital infrastructure.

The Cyber Diagnostics Program for  Businesses is designed to help SMEs protect their data and resources from cyber threats. Under the Program, Ukrainian companies will be able to test their websites or applications for vulnerabilities.

Business representatives can access one of three free services:

• Penetration Testing — allows simulating potential cyberattacks and identifying vulnerabilities in a company’s digital infrastructure.
• Application Security Testing — helps to detect potential vulnerabilities and provide recommendations for addressing them.
• Vulnerability Assessment — a comprehensive analysis of the security of the company’s digital infrastructure.

The Program targets small and medium-sized businesses registered in Ukraine, which handle personal data and have digital infrastructure (such as websites, applications, cloud storage, etc.). It is also open to cybersecurity companies that are ready to help businesses protect against cyber threats.

To participate in one of these free cybersecurity diagnostic services, businesses need to:

1. Register in the dedicated section of the Diia.Business portal.
2. Choose the required service and participate in an auction.
3. Confirm the agreement on the portal using a digital signature and schedule the cybersecurity diagnostics date with the service provider.

The Cyber Diagnostics Program for Businesses is implemented with the assistance of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Entrepreneurship and Export Promotion Office, and the national project Diia.Business with the support of the USAID Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure in Ukraine Activity. The Program is implemented and administrated by the Kyiv School of Economics.
