Analyzing many indicators, such as the quantity of vulnerabilities, the potency of preventative measures, and the resilience of detection methods, is necessary to determine security posture. An objective assessment of the organization's security posture may be obtained by assigning scores, which are determined by comparing these aspects to pre-established benchmarks or standards. .
Assuming one's security posture instead of depending on a data-driven illustration of its point-of-view condition is one of the most frequent errors committed by businesses. Instead of being proactive, assumptions may cause businesses to become reactive. This leads to responding to cyber incidents only after they occur, which frequently results in the loss of data, finances, and reputation.
A majority of organizations are highly dependent on the Internet and networks to run their daily business.
However, an organization is unaware of the security issues that might result in an attack (from outside or from within). Customer information, the organization’s private and confidential data, intellectual property, and information assets might leak out to the public, thereby resulting in huge financial losses and damage to the organization’s reputation.
In order to measure the overall cyber-security maturity of
the organization, an independent expert assessment of the current state of its
information security environment is conducted against global standards and
leading industry practices. It is followed by a remediation of the identified
gaps and the development of a roadmap for transformation.
