Stages of Security Maturity Assessment

Microminder uses a cybersecurity capability maturity model to determine your security readiness. We look at each stage according to your organisation's people, processes and technology.

People: At this stage, your security activities and often understaffed and uncoordinated.

Process: During the initial stage, there is no formal security program or policy in place.

Technology: The organisation is at risk within the cyber threat landscape and might have experienced some security issues, yet no protection measures of control exist.

People: There is some cyber expertise and leadership, but no formal structures or communication methods exist.

Process: Some basic risk policies, processes and procedures have been developed.

Technology: Security tools and technologies have been developed and implemented to improve controls, but with limited documentation, there is still a level of maturity risk.

People: As your organisation’s cybersecurity structure becomes more established, you develop some set roles, responsibilities, and policies.

Process: The entire organisation has access to processes and policies, but there is no verification procedure to ensure they are followed.

Technology: More control measures have been implemented, and tools and documentation developed. However, there are no assigned cybersecurity roles and the business relies on the activities of one or a few individuals.

People: The security assessment roles and responsibilities are now clearly defined. The company has channelled resources to the department and there is a company-wide awareness of the need for cybersecurity.

Process: At this stage, there is a formal security department with standardised committees, as well as verification, implementation and analysis processes.

Technology: The security controls are monitored and checked for compliance but automation levels are still uneven and unreliable.

People: You have developed an organisational culture that fully understands and supports cybersecurity activities related to people, processes and technology.

Process: Infosec teams can comprehensively implement processes on a risk and quantitative basis.

Technology: There is efficient and effective automation of controls that are fully implemented and also undergo continuous improvement.

During the cyber maturity assessments, we evaluate the level of your cyber maturity based on five stages – initial, developing, defined, managed and optimised.

As part of our cyber security maturity assessment services, we must prioritise cyber risks and threats. This is a crucial step as it helps your security team understand the impact each type of threat might have on your organisation.

A breach to steal data as part of an espionage scheme will have very different consequences to a ransomware attack that locks your servers and networks for a price. Some methods we use to prioritise cyber risks include:

Carrying out cyber risk assessments to evaluate the impact each one will have on your organisation and then defining mitigation strategies.
Creating threat scenarios of how each threat might materialise within your networks. This activity helps security experts understand the threat and create an effective mitigation plan.
Creating your organisation’s treat profile with information about potential cybercriminals and threat actions. We look at the sources of potential threats to your business and critical assets that they could target.
