Maturity Assessment Program

---

Our Security Maturity Assessment methodology begins with scoping and planning, defining assessment objectives and identifying key stakeholders. We conduct workshops and evidence reviews to gather information on your people, processes, and technology. Next, we perform gap analysis by benchmarking against frameworks like NIST CSF, Essential Eight, and ISO 27001. We then prioritize findings based on risk impact and develop a clear roadmap with milestones such as initial assessment, gap closure planning, implementation support, and continuous monitoring to systematically enhance your security posture. 

Following is an example benchmark based on NIST CSF:

Aligned to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) profiles, measurable milestones and KPIs for security maturity improvement can be structured as follows:

• Partial (Profile: Partial): Establish initial awareness and ad hoc activities.
  Milestone: Develop foundational cybersecurity policies and initial asset inventory.
  KPI: Percentage of documented policies; baseline asset identification coverage.
• Risk Informed (Profile: Risk Informed): Risk management practices are established and repeatable.
  Milestone: Implement risk assessments and formalized security processes across key functions.
  KPI: Number of risk assessments completed; percentage of processes standardized.
• Repeatable (Profile: Repeatable): Processes are formally defined and integrated.
  Milestone: Conduct organization-wide cybersecurity training and enforce policies.
  KPI: Percentage of employees trained; policy compliance rate.
• Adaptive (Profile: Adaptive): Organization actively monitors and manages cybersecurity risks.
  Milestone: Deploy continuous monitoring and incident response mechanisms.
  KPI: Incident detection rate; average incident response time.
• Optimizing (Profile: Optimizing): Continuous improvement is embedded in cybersecurity activities.
  Milestone: Establish formal feedback loops and iterative improvements.
  KPI: Reduction in vulnerability remediation time; improvement in audit and compliance scores.
