posture assessment

what is a cybersecurity posture assessment?

A Cybersecurity Posture Assessment provides an overall view of the organization’s internal and external security posture by integrating all the facets of cybersecurity into only one comprehensive assessment approach. It is meant to help organizations define where they’re at in terms of their cybersecurity posture, what gaps they’re currently facing and what steps they need to take to improve their cybersecurity posture going forward.

Unlike a penetration test or a standard information security audit, a Cybersecurity Posture Assessment will provide C-Level Executives with clarity and direction in terms of their organization’s cybersecurity posture to maximize the ROI of their security-related expenses. It will help design and develop an appropriate cybersecurity roadmap within an overall security program and business continuity planning (BCP).

more specifically, it helps organizations assess and improve their cybersecurity postureby:

Identifying and managing the value of their data
Defining the cyber risks and threat exposure of their data
Evaluating whether appropriate, reliable and efficient security measures are in place
Recommending a concrete action plan (a ‘cybersecurity roadmap’) to better control their exposure and strengthen cybersecurity defenses

cybersecurity posture assessment is usually based on 4 principal assumptions:

Organizations need to know the importance of what they have and why they need to protect it.
Organizations need to know where they stand
Organizations need to know where they need to go and what they need to do in order to get there
Organizations need to know how to keep the momentum of security

Penetration testing

We can demonstrate the destructive power that an attack from the inside, a rogue employee or an untrusted contractor can inflict.

Our approach to Cybersecurity Posture Assessment

The assessment can be divided into four distinct phases:

planning

Savyasachi Infotech Security Project Manager will work in close cooperation with the appropriate stakeholders to develop a detailed work plan, including a clearly-stated aim, a statement of scope, limitations and restrictions, required logistical arrangements, a detailed schedule and deliverables.

documentation review

We will be provided with all reference material required, and any other information necessary for the completion of these tasks. To do so, a system description is documented, and a concept of operation is defined. Target level of residual risk is determined in consultation with you.

assessment

Our team of consultants will conduct an analysis of the client’s internet exposure, conduct an onsite audit followed by an analysis of findings, define the overall cybersecurity posture of the client based on these findings and results and propose a prioritized improvement plan including suitable recommendations for the security authority.

reporting

A draft report will be sent to the client, including all the above-identified deliverables. Once the comments will have been received and integrated, we will provide you with the final report.
