CYBER RISK ASSESSMENTS
Today's Security Control Assessments, whether using ISO, CMMI or another framework lack vital business and threat context.
​
They are also often delivered by inexperienced resource, offering limited value and ineffective means by which to track, implement and report on improvements.
We leverage the HyperQBE platform from Cyberseconomics, who offer an innovative, more relevant, highly contextualised methodology, embedded in a platform which even allow you to conduct a full assessment yourselves. Significantly reducing the cost and intrusion of a usual assessment, whilst giving you a platform from which you can continually update and report improvements as they are delivered - vastly improving current ways of working, all at less or no additional cost.
​
Leveraging enhanced, threat aligned views of security controls, track and map your compliance to the major frameworks, all from a single console.
