The Right Time for a Cybersecurity Threat Assessment
Keeping on top of the security needs of your organisation can be difficult, especially in times of increased growth and business change and when internal resources are limited. Knowing when to ask for help and when to invest in the big picture of your cybersecurity stance is a decision every CISO(?) needs to make.
Typically, the time to have a cybersecurity assessment is before exposure or an incident happens, but there are several reasons that make now the right time.
You need to comply with regulations such as NIST, MITRE and ISO
You’ve never had a second opinion on cybersecurity
You need to verify and prove your security posture to your customers
You need oversight over an increasing third party supply chain
Your organisation has recently been the victim of a cyberattack
You’re wondering if you have gaps in your security posture
Whether your goal is compliance, validation that your stance is robust, or you’re considering outsourcing part of or even all of the cybersecurity function of your business, a cybersecurity assessment can help you get a detailed, measurable overview and set out what you need to do next to manage cyber risk and protect your organisation’s reputation. Even organisations that have a relatively mature security model in place may decide that they need an external view of their structure and risk profile so that any gaps or priorities can be identified and addressed.
