THE 3AM TEST

Six questions that expose whether the plan survives contact with reality.

The 3AM Test connects observable evidence with the operational facts only the client and MSP can attest: who watches, who responds, what can recover, and what happens next.

01

Is anyone monitoring your systems 24/7?

Verify who receives meaningful after-hours alerts, who responds, and what the response promise covers.

02

Can you recover from ransomware?

Confirm recovery copies are isolated, restoration has been tested, and the business knows its recovery objective.

03

Who gets called when something breaks?

Record the escalation owner, after-hours path, decision authority, and the point where incident response begins.

04

When did someone last check your systems?

Use dated evidence to show the last meaningful review, maintenance action, and documentation update.

05

Are the security basics in place?

Review identity, endpoint, email, and patch posture without hiding exceptions under a percentage.

06

Is anyone watching for active threats?

Separate routine alerting from active investigation and name the person accountable for response.

EVIDENCE + ATTESTATION

A scan cannot answer every operational question.

SCOUTz uses technical evidence where available and keeps client or MSP attestation visible where the answer depends on process, ownership, service records, or restore testing.

Backup presence is not backup health.

Recovery readiness needs protected scope, job results, isolation, restore testing, recovery objectives, and a named owner—not a detected product name.
