What Tools Are Most Effective for Measuring Cybersecurity Maturity?

Many tools can give insight into an organization’s cyber maturity, from established frameworks with aligned assessments to state-of-the-art technologies and other measurement methods. Specific frameworks look at various controls, while technologies and security assessments aligned with those frameworks can help you prioritize risks appropriately.

Key Takeaways

• Established frameworks for effective cybersecurity controls include those from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Center for Internet Security (CIS).
• Measuring cyber maturity should include tracking incident response times, evaluating cybersecurity awareness training, and addressing outstanding vulnerabilities.
• If third-party vendors and service providers haven’t assessed their own cyber maturity, your organization remains as vulnerable as they are.
