How Cyber Security Maturity Assessments Work
Cyber security maturity assessments are used to identify core security programs within your organization that focus on protecting your business’s ability to generate income and continue operations without disruptions. CSMAs function as both a gap analysis and risk assessment to give companies the tools and information they need to implement their best security practices. The main objective of a cyber program maturity assessment is to gain a clearer view of your current security plans in order to strengthen your security program.

Assessing Compliance For NIST 800-171
Cyber Security Maturity Assessments (CSMAs) assesses compliance with a number of industry requirements, including NIST Special Publication 800-171. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the newest verification mechanism released by the Department of Defense (DOD). This certification was designed to ensure that cybersecurity processes and controls properly protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The CMMC requires a CMMC-certified Third Party Assessment Organization to undergo annual independent assessments for certification. CMMC Domains may also include other controls that are not listed under NIST 800-171, such as asset management, cybersecurity governance, recovery and situational awareness.
