A cybersecurity assessment is a survey and questionnaire that reviews your company’s cybersecurity posture and readiness in several ways. The assessment covers topics such as:
Once completed, the cybersecurity assessment results provide a detailed report of data security strengths and weaknesses and recommendations for remediation.
If an organization has compliance needs, it might use the assessment to see how it stands against a specific cybersecurity framework, such as NIST 800-171 or NIST-CSF NIST 800-51, for example. These frameworks and recent laws set the standards and guidelines as to what should be in place for an organization to help protect against and respond to a cyber incident.
A cybersecurity assessment is for organizations of any size looking to understand the strength of their current cybersecurity program and where to make improvements. For example, organizations in industries with compliance needs, such as Healthcare, Finance, and Manufacturing, perform regular cybersecurity assessments to meet requirements or to prepare for an audit—often required by regulatory bodies and/or companies they do business with who are doing their own third-party vendor risk assessments.
As cyberattacks evolve in sophistication, it is important to understand that your cybersecurity program is keeping pace. Ongoing cybersecurity assessments allow organizations to prepare proactively for emerging cyber threats, while also staying compliant with industry, governmental and third party security requirements.
Cybersecurity is a process that begins with understanding the risks of your systems and employee behavior, as well as processes for handling risk. Defendify's Cybersecurity Assessment Tool is a holistic way to identify where your organization has gaps and prioritize what to do next. A high score on Defendify's Cybersecurity Assessment can help demonstrate your business has a strong cybersecurity posture to meet existing and future customer, industry, and government security assessments.
Completing a cybersecurity assessment is often the first step toward improving your company's cybersecurity posture. By assessing your cybersecurity health regularly, and after any significant change to your network and systems, you will be far more prepared to handle new threats and positioned for compliance to external security mandates.
