Common Objections and Rationalisations: “Our production systems are completely isolated from outside access.” “Our system is secure because it would be impossible for an outsider to understand it.” “We’re not a likely target. We’re not important or interesting enough to attract hackers.” “We’ve never had a problem. There has been no intrusion or disruption in our production network.” “It hasn’t happened yet, so it seems unlikely. I don’t think it will happen.” “We can’t justify the expense and manpower.” Being Vulnerable is not your fault. Staying vulnerable definitely is... Cyber Security is much more than a matter of IT... Passwords are like underwear: Don’t let people see it, Don't leave them lying around and Change them regularly... It takes 20 years to build a reputation and few minutes of cyber-incident to ruin it.. Technology trust is a good thing, but control is a better one... No technology that’s connected to the Internet is unhackable. Social engineering bypasses all technologies, including firewalls. Phishing is a major problem because there really is no patch for human stupidity. If you think you know-it-all about cybersecurity, this discipline was probably ill-explained to you. My message to companies that think they haven’t been attacked is: ‘You’re not looking hard enough. Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time-rich and cash-poor. Time is what determines security. With enough time nothing is unhackable. Data is the pollution problem of the information age, and protecting privacy is the environmental challenge.

Cyber Maturity Assessment

This assessment focuses on evaluating the maturity level of an organization's cybersecurity practices and controls. It involves assessing the effectiveness and implementation of various security measures, policies, procedures, and technologies in place. The goal is to measure the organization's overall cybersecurity maturity and identify areas for improvement. The assessment typically follows a structured framework or model, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework or ISO 27001, and provides a roadmap for enhancing cybersecurity maturity over time.


There’s a significant responsibility on executives to reassure employees, customers and stakeholders that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect their information assets and to defend against cyber-attacks. Also, organizations are subject to increasing amounts of legislative, corporate and regulatory requirements to show they’re managing and protecting their information appropriately.

 

  • Do you need help assessing whether the mechanisms to manage your organization’s risks are mature?
  • Are you looking to create a stronger security culture within your organization?
  • Do you need a better understanding of whether your organization complies with the varied regulatory requirements?
  • Are you looking to take greater control, ensuring that your organization is prepared for the evolving cyber security landscape?
  • What should you be considering as part of a cyber security strategy?
  • Are you looking to benchmark your cyber maturity results against that of your peers?

 

As the threats from cyber criminals and hacktivists grow in scale and sophistication — how can businesses employ effective cyber capabilities to rapidly adapt to the ever-changing security landscape and confidently drive growth through digitally enabled products, services and business transformation?


Turn insights into a business enabler

SecOp’s Cyber Maturity Assessment (CMA) is a comprehensive risk assessment of your organization’s readiness to prevent, detect, contain and respond to threats to information assets. The CMA evolves traditional cyber maturity assessments by looking beyond pure technical preparedness — taking a rounded view of people, process and technology.

It provides insights to understand vulnerabilities, identify and prioritize areas of remediation, and demonstrate corporate and operational compliance. By outlining the cyber capabilities that require the focus of the board and translating them into an operational, business-enabling function,

The CMA will help you to support and achieve business objectives, manage risk, build trust and measure performance — turning information risk into business advantage.
