Verdict-

0 of 12 answered

  1. 01Is the domain registered in your name or your company's name, with your own login to the registrar?

    Whoever owns the domain owns the site address, the email and the ad landing pages.

  2. 02Do you have your own login to the hosting and DNS settings?

    Without it you cannot move the site or fix it while the developer is offline.

  3. 03Is the code stored in a repository (GitHub, GitLab) that belongs to your account?

    Code on the developer's laptop is code you may never see again.

  4. 04Do you have a full admin account in the site, store or CRM admin panel?

    A manager role is not enough. You need the role that can add and remove people.

  5. 05Could you remove the developer from every role yourself in 10 minutes, without asking them?

    This is the real test of control over your accounts.

  6. 06Are there regular backups that you can reach and restore without the developer?

    A backup that only the developer can open does not protect you.

  7. 07Are the ad accounts (Meta, Google, TikTok) owned by your business account, with the developer added only as a partner?

    If the ad account is theirs, your ad history and audiences leave with them.

  8. 08Are analytics, the pixel and Tag Manager on your own account?

    This is your data about customers and sales. It should not live in someone else's account.

  9. 09Are paid themes, plugins, licences and services (email, payments, APIs) registered to you?

    Licences on the developer's name stop working the day they stop paying.

  10. 10Is there documentation: how the project is built, where everything lives, what connects to what?

    Without it a new developer spends weeks just finding their way around.

  11. 11Are there written steps to release a new version that another developer could follow?

    If only one person knows how to publish changes, every change waits for that person.

  12. 12Do you have a written list of all accesses, with passwords stored in a vault you control?

    A handover document turns a crisis into a one-day job.

Your result

Answer all 12 questions. You will see your independence score, your risk level and a 5-step plan for your case.

Transparent

How we calculate

01

Independence score

100 × (1 - risk points / maximum risk)

Each question has a weight from 1 to 3. A «No» adds the full weight, «Not sure» adds 60% of it, because not knowing is also a risk.

02

Heaviest questions

domain = code = 3, hosting = admin = roles = backups = ads = 2

Without the domain and the code you cannot take the project away at all. That is why a «No» on either one means at least a high risk.

03

Risk levels

85+ low · 60-84 medium · 35-59 high · below 35 critical

The plan takes your weakest answers first: every «No» before any «Not sure», heavier questions first.

No sugar-coating

Honest about the math

This is a self-check, not an audit. It shows where the risk sits, based on your own answers. A real audit opens the accounts and checks the code, servers and access rights.

This is a reference point, not a promise of results. Our prices here are “from” prices, the exact amount is fixed in writing after an audit.

Questions

What if I answered «Not sure» to many questions?

That already says a lot. Ask your developer for a written list of every account and who owns it. A good developer sends it within a day.

My developer is reliable. Why should I care?

People get sick, change jobs and move countries. Owning your accounts is not about distrust. It is what keeps the business running when anything changes.

Can you move everything into my name?

Yes. We audit the project, move the domain, code, hosting and ad accounts into your name and write the documentation. Any developer can then continue, or you can continue with us.
