Know where you stand. Build a clear path forward.
A strategy and maturity assessment built on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. See where you are, define where you need to go, and leave with a written strategy and a roadmap you can actually execute.

What it answers
The questions leadership asks most.
Built on NIST CSF 2.0, this assessment answers what security teams struggle to answer without a structured framework.
Baseline
Where are we behind?
Current maturity across every key domain, and exactly where the program falls short.
Benchmark
How do we compare?
How you stack up against peer organizations, and what good looks like at your level.
Direction
Where do we focus next?
Not a list of gaps. A defined strategy and a roadmap to act on them in the right order.
The problem
Security activity is not a security program.
Most organizations have plenty of activity. What turns it into a program is strategy, structure and direction.
- No clear baselineWithout a maturity model, assessments are guesswork.
- Disconnected initiativesTools and projects that don't add up to a strategy.
- No written strategyBusy teams with no shared vision for where the program goes.
- Political budget decisionsEvery initiative looks equally important.
Our approach
Six phases, from score to strategy.
We go beyond scoring. Maturity findings are tied to real risk and turned into a concrete strategy and roadmap.
- 01
Measure maturity
Every domain receives a clear, defensible score, from ad hoc to optimized.
- Governance and risk management
- Security controls
- Detection, response and recovery
- 02
Identify meaningful gaps
Not every gap is equal. We focus on where you're most exposed.
- What's missing
- What exists but isn't working
- 03
Benchmark against peers
Scores in context, by size, sector and risk profile.
- Where you're ahead and behind
- What good looks like at your level
- 04
Connect gaps to risk
Gaps aligned to business impact, so you fix what moves the needle and avoid over-engineering.
- 05
Define your strategy
Where most assessments stop, we go further: a written security strategy with direction, not just data.
- Target-state program
- What to build or improve first
- Alignment to business priorities
- 06
Deliver the roadmap
Strategy turned into an executable, sequenced plan.
- Near-term wins and long-term initiatives
- Sized to your resources and budget
Who it's for
Clarity for leaders. A plan for teams.
For business leaders
Know where you stand.
- ClarityNo technical scores to interpret.
- AlignmentLeadership agrees on direction.
- Executive-readyA summary built for the board.
For security teams
Move forward with a plan.
- DirectionStrategy, not the loudest request.
- SequencingA realistic, ordered roadmap.
- Buy-inWork tied to business priorities.
What you get
Strategy & Maturity deliverables.
Concrete artifacts you keep, not a slide deck that disappears after the readout.
- 01
Maturity heatmap
Strengths and weaknesses across every domain, at a glance.
- 02
Gap analysis
Only the gaps that matter, and why.
- 03
Peer benchmarking
How you compare, and what good looks like.
- 04
Defined security strategy
What the program should become, and how it serves the business.
- 05
12 to 36 month roadmap
Prioritized, sequenced and sized to your resources.
- 06
Executive summary
Board-ready, in business terms.
Runs on one risk language
Scored with your methodology.
Every finding is scored the same way as the rest of your program. Already have a methodology? We use it. If not, we build it with you first, in a single workshop.
