Cyber Maturity Assessment | Focal Point Data Risk

Benchmark Your Cyber Maturity

Aging infrastructure, unsupported software, decentralized asset management, and mergers and acquisitions have created technical environments that are increasingly difficult to manage, and new privacy regulations have placed strict legal obligations on companies to secure the data in these environments. Understanding the data you have, how it is stored, and who has access to it has never been more important or more challenging. Our Cyber Maturity Assessment provides you with the insight you need to build a strong, sustainable cybersecurity program.

Our Approach

Our assessment is built on industry-recognized security frameworks, including the NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, CIS Top 20, and PCI DSS. We leverage an established capability maturity model (CMM) to objectively evaluate your program and provide realistic maturity rankings across industry standards.

Phase 1

During Phase 1, the Focal Point team collaborates with you to establish the objectives and scope for this engagement, as well as communication methods and a cadence for status reporting. Following this initial step, we coordinate document and interview requests with your team.

Phase 2

Our team holds both on-site and remote discovery sessions with key stakeholders and subject matter experts within your organization. Following this step, our team builds a current state gap analysis of your policies, procedures, and technologies against industry standards.

Using our CMM model, we evaluate each domain within your security program. As a result of this analysis, we are able to identify process inefficiencies and areas for improvement.

Phase 3

In the final phase of this assessment, our team communicates the findings of our analysis to your leadership team, helping you gain executive buy-in for the most immediate risks to your organization.

During this phase, we establish achievable target cyber maturity goals for your program, provide future state recommendations for improvement, and deliver a roadmap for short-term and long-term cyber maturity.
