Security program assessments are a good way to understand what you’re working with in your organizational environment. A well-conducted assessment can make it easier to identify gaps within your environment, and these findings can build a case to prioritize security projects with stakeholders and other business leaders.
The scope of a cybersecurity assessment typically depends on an organization’s goals and priorities. An organization will want to understand the information and assets they want to protect.
It isn’t always productive to assess every aspect of an entire organization — this often leads to a long list of findings that is difficult to sort through and prioritize. It’s best to focus an assessment on specific software, hardware, data, business units, or end users in different phases. This will lead to a smaller list of more critical, urgent results to address that will be easier to take on with groups of related projects.
Each cyber security assessment is generally customized according to an organization’s specific goals and needs. When working with a client, the team typically starts an engagement by understanding an organization’s goals, as well as analyzing their existing documentation to get an idea of their current state. The CISOSHARE team also analyzes aspects of an organization’s security architecture, regardless of whether a complete architecture assessment is in scope, since the best way to understand an organization’s environment is to account for the network and technical safeguards in place as well.
The goal of an effective assessment is to get an honest look at the current state. These assessments aren’t like audits — instead it’s an opportunity to identify any issues that need to be addressed.
The timeline of an assessment usually depends on the size, complexity, and maturity of an organization’s security program. From start to finish, an assessment can last anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
