Maturity assessment

Security prioritization and maturity

A maturity assessment is a health check for a company's cyber security work. In order to achieve the company's strategic goals, it is crucial to know where to prioritize resources and efforts to further develop the work with cybersecurity.

The maturity assessment provides a comprehensive picture of where the company stands today in terms of cybersecurity, as well as which areas require further improvement. The assessment can be based on various standards and frameworks. Some of the standards and frameworks Netsecurity conducts maturity assessments against include, but are not limited to:

  • National Institute of Standards and Technology Cyber Security Framework (NIST CSF)
  • Center for Internet Security (CIS Controls)
  • ISO27001
  • NSM Basic Principles for ICT Security

A maturity assessment is adapted to each company's complexity and size. All companies will benefit from conducting a maturity assessment in order to work in a structured way towards the principle of continuous improvement.

The company will have its information security work mapped and documented by an objective third party. Regular maturity assessments help to control progress in information security work and can ensure that the company works purposefully towards its priority areas.

The maturity assessment leads to a report that presents in a clear and simple way what is expected, uncovered findings and what level of maturity the company has within the investigated areas.

The findings are visualized in a spider diagram, which is an effective tool for presenting the assessed areas, as well as where the company stands today. By using a spider diagram, the business can clearly see which areas require further focus to achieve the desired level of maturity.
