How visible is your payroll risk?

Fifteen directional indicators across five payroll-governance pillars. See where your current responses suggest stronger practices, developing controls, or areas that warrant deeper evidence review.

  1. 1
    Answer 15 directional questions about your payroll footprint, controls, and systems. No documents are required for this preliminary view.
  2. 2
    See your directional result immediately — including the five-pillar view and any areas where more information is needed.
  3. 3
    Choose the appropriate next step — book a confidential review to discuss your result, or share your details afterward if you'd like ValuGuard to follow up about whether the full PSI™ Assessment is warranted.

Your directional result is generated from your responses alone and displayed on-screen — no contact information is required to see it. If you choose to share your name and email afterward, ValuGuard may follow up personally regarding a confidential review. See the Privacy Policy.

Step 1 — Quick Context

Six quick operating-context questions.

These help place your responses in operating context and begin building the right future benchmark cohort. They do not change the directional calculation.

Pillar 01
Compliance Integrity
Exposure to external regulatory authorities — federal and state tax filings, FLSA classification, multi-state nexus, and the statutory obligations that can act against the company.
Pillar 02
Financial Accuracy
Whether every dollar paid, deducted, accrued, and reported through payroll matches the company's financial reality — and whether that reality is defensible to the CFO, auditor, and board.
Pillar 03
Operational Continuity
The durability and scale-tolerance of the payroll operation itself — whether it would continue running cleanly through turnover, growth, acquisition, or system migration.
Pillar 04
Governance & Controls
The control architecture that prevents unauthorized, erroneous, or fraudulent payroll activity from reaching paid status — and the audit trail that defends every dollar that did.
Pillar 05
Technology & Data Security
The integrity, security, and architectural soundness of the systems that process payroll data — and the controls protecting the sensitive personal and financial information moving through them.

Five-Pillar Directional View

What this result can show

Based on your self-reported responses, it can identify apparent strengths, developing practices, and pillars that may deserve deeper evidence review.

What it cannot establish

It is not the formal PSI score, an audit, certification, exposure calculation, legal or tax opinion, or peer benchmark.

Industry context · benchmark dataset building

Your selected industry

No peer statistic is displayed until the applicable anonymized cohort meets ValuGuard’s controlled publication standard.

Recommended next step

Use this directional result to decide whether a confidential review of the full, evidence-based PSI™ Assessment is warranted.

The formal PSI™ Assessment evaluates 47 proprietary checkpoints and releases its composite only after all 47 checkpoint dispositions are complete. Legal, tax, regulatory, and self-disclosure decisions should be evaluated with qualified counsel.
