What We Do

As AI becomes embedded in business processes and third-party tools, organizations face new cybersecurity risks alongside heightened oversight expectations.

Johnson Lambert’s cybersecurity assessments are tailored to the industries we serve and aligned with relevant regulatory requirements and recognized frameworks.

Depending on your organization’s needs and risk profile, our work may draw on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation, CIS Controls, COBIT, AICPA Trust Services Criteria, COSO, and ISO 27001.

As members of the Center for Internet Security, we use CIS benchmarks alongside proprietary tools to evaluate cybersecurity controls and document findings in a tailored summary report.

What to Expect in a Cybersecurity Assessment

Our cybersecurity assessments follow a four-phase approach, from initial planning through testing, findings, and recommended next steps.

We develop an understanding of your IT environment, data flows, key systems, and stakeholders, then define the scope and risk criteria for the assessment.

We meet with key personnel, review relevant policies and documentation, and walk through critical cybersecurity processes to understand how controls are designed and carried out.

We test key controls, identify gaps, and evaluate how effectively your cybersecurity program is operating. Findings and recommendations are discussed with management as the assessment progresses.

We document the results, outline recommended next steps, and provide a roadmap to help strengthen cybersecurity processes and support future board, regulatory, or audit review.
