Resources
Practical tools, checklists, and assessments — no strings attached.
Free Tools, Templates, and Assessments
Practical, no-obligation resources for SMBs in regulated industries — checklists, policy templates, calculators, and expert reviews you can use whether or not you work with us. ADS is an enablement partner, not a C3PAO: these tools help you get ready; independent assessors certify you.
Assessments & Scans
Free IT Assessment
A no-obligation review of your IT environment — security posture, backups, cyber-insurance readiness, and coverage gaps — with a prioritized findings summary you can act on.
Free Accessibility Scan
A real read on where your site stands against WCAG 2.2 AA — reviewed by people, not just a scanner — so you know whether you need a full audit.
Checklists & Templates
CMMC Readiness Checklist
A self-scoring checklist covering the most-missed NIST SP 800-171 controls and the DFARS clauses behind them — in plain English.
NIST 800-171 Policy Template Pack
Editable starter templates for the policies assessors expect, drawn from the documented security program we operate internally and implement for clients.
Co-Managed IT Responsibility Matrix (RACI Template)
A RACI-style chart to map every IT function and decide what you keep, what we cover, and what we share — role clarity before you sign anything.
Calculators
IT Downtime Cost Calculator
Put a real dollar figure on an hour of downtime, then compare it to the predictable monthly cost of proactive Co-Managed IT.
CMMC: Build In-House vs. Partner Calculator
Compare the cost of standing up CMMC compliance internally against partnering with an enablement provider.
