How Cybersecurity Controls Assessments Work
As technology continues to change and evolve at a rapid rate, organizations feel the pressure to protect their information. A cybersecurity controls assessment delivers an in-depth, independent review of your company’s ability to protect information assets against cyber threats. During an assessment, we will review your existing security posture and assess the maturity level of your current information security controls. We will also review your company’s compliance requirements and provide recommendations to improve the maturity level of your company’s cybersecurity.

Evaluation Through Frameworks
Our cybersecurity controls assessment can be delivered to your company using a best-practice framework such as the Center for Internet Security’s Critical Security Controls, NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF), COBIT5 or various other frameworks that may be relevant. We will then evaluate your controls’ designs and test their effectiveness. Their maturity is then rated using a capability maturity model (CMM). Once you have your current CMM rating, you can use this information to identify gaps that may exist between your existing security controls and your expectations. Our team at Vaultes will then work with you to identify the best strategies to correct these cyber vulnerabilities.


Verification Through Effectiveness
One of the most important requirements for any cybersecurity management program is to verify the effectiveness of current security controls. Although your business may already have a cybersecurity control framework in place that includes verification controls, it is important for companies to routinely evaluate their security controls to determine if they are performing to your standards. This process should involve regular reviews of security metrics, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing and the completion of internal audits to evaluate security control. These efforts can help make sure that your cybersecurity program remains as effective as possible.
