Church administration is sacred work—but it can quickly become messy. Spreadsheets multiply, access rights drift, and no one can quite remember who exported last Sunday’s attendance list. Meanwhile, trustees and data regulators expect you to keep accurate records, honour consent, and prove what happened if something goes wrong. The gap between expectation and reality is where risk lives.
That’s why we’ve launched a quick, practical Compliance Readiness Quiz. In three minutes you’ll see where your church stands on record-keeping and data protection—and exactly how to close the gaps. If your score sits below the safe threshold, the page will recommend PMTChurchFlow and send you to the product site for a focused fix.

Why a “60-Minute” Challenge?
Because most compliance wins come from habits, not binders. When your system makes the right thing the easy thing, you can create a meaningful improvement in under an hour:
- Lock down shared logins with role-based access.
- Turn on multi-factor authentication for anyone who touches personal data.
- Apply a simple retention schedule so old exports don’t linger on shared drives.
- Enforce consent and suppression lists across communications.
- Capture an audit snapshot trustees can actually sign off.
The quiz translates these habits into 10 plain-English questions. You’ll finish with a score, a short diagnosis, and a practical plan.

What the Quiz Measures
- Centralised People Records: One system with history vs scattered files.
- Roles & Permissions: Pastors, admins, and group leaders get exactly what they need—no more, no less.
- Consent & Suppression: Prove opt-ins and honour opt-outs across every channel.
- Retention & Minimisation: Keep data only as long as needed; routinely purge old exports.
- Export Control & Audit: Limit downloads and log every export.
- Requests & Rights: Fulfil subject access or deletion requests within 30 days, with evidence.
- Attendance & Groups as Records: Official, reportable data—no ad-hoc lists.
- Private Sermons & Notes: Access-controlled, watermarkable when needed.
- Incident Readiness: Templates and owners for “what if” moments.
- Backups & Restores: Restores don’t resurrect deleted data.
Your Results: Clear, Actionable, and Personalised
When you complete the quiz, you’ll see:
- Score & Tier: Audit-ready, needs improvement, or at risk.
- Vulnerabilities: Quick chips (e.g., Export control, Retention rules) showing exactly where you’re exposed.
- Feature-by-Feature Fix Plan: Each weak area maps to a PMTChurchFlow capability—so you know what to switch on to close the gap.
