What to Expect in a
Cybersecurity Assessment
Our cybersecurity assessment projects are broken into four phrases, and through this phased approach we evaluate your core cybersecurity functions such that we can report on the strengths and areas in need of improvement.
Phase 1: Planning
We gain an understanding of your IT environment and data flows, identify key contacts, and define risk assessment likelihood and impact thresholds, and obtain inventory of systems and data stores.
Phase 2: Cybersecurity Program Overview
We engage in conversations with key personnel and stakeholders, review reports and policies, and perform a walkthrough of critical cybersecurity processes.
Phase 3: Current State Assessment
Here we will assess potential cybersecurity program gaps and meet with management to co-develop risk assessment and recommendations for improvements.
Phase 4: Deliverable + Debrief
Our final stage includes developing a roadmap for next steps to improve the cybersecurity processes and sharing those results with your team.
