Security Maturity Assessments

Your Challenge

Looking to evaluate and improve your security function? Just landed as Security Officer and you're looking to define your priorities? Been there for a while and looking where you can still improve? We can help! We evaluate your security function and/or your key security controls, identify improvements, prioritize them with you, and deliver a Security Transformation Program Plan on which you can build the future of your organization's security.

Security Maturity Assessment

Choosing your battles, risk-based.

Taking a 360° view at your security organization is no easy task. This is where we can help: the combination of our experience in CISO-as-a-Service, together with our deep-dive missions in very large and mature security organizations have helped us to combine a good knowledge of security standards and a practical experience in their implementation in a real-world, budget-aware environment.

Our maturity assessments typically follow the following sequence:

• Step 1 – Identify control gaps
  By controls, we mean the technical security measures or the functional procedures in place to cover a typical security risk. This ranges from a process to ensure patches are implemented in a timely manner to the use of an application to scan systems for security vulnerabilities. We typically operate based on the ISO27001 Annex A controls or the 20 Critical Security Controls, but are familiar with a number of other security standards as well.
• Step 2 – Check architecture
  We perform a focused review of your architecture, concentrating on external touch points and network protection of your perimeter and core business systems.
• Step 3 – Prioritize based on threats
  Actual threats for your organization and business priorities are identified, and used to perform a risk-based and strategy-aligned prioritization of actions.
• Step 4 – Design & Validate the Prioritized Roadmap
  Our deliverables are simple Microsoft Office documents that your team can and will own - and knowledge transfer is part of our standard approach. When opting for an ISO27k-driven approach, our deliverables are ISO27k compliant and have been succesfully audited as such.
