Cyber Maturity Assessment
What is a CMA?
The Cyber Maturity Assessment (CMA) is a risk-based cyber security, privacy and data protection assessment. It is designed to help organisations evaluate and improve their cyber security and privacy maturity, reduce organisational risk, and increase compliance with industry standards.
The CMA is conducted over 3-5 weeks, depending on organisational complexity, and entails interviews with key security stakeholders.
In an evolving cyber threat landscape, with frequent occurrences of devastating data breaches, it is more important than ever to effectively manage the cyber risks to your organisation.
The CMA enables your business leaders to understand the current controls in place, the cyber risks your organisation faces, and establish a path to greater cyber resilience. This assessment combines multiple recognised standards to create a holistic evaluation of your organisation’s cyber posture. The standards and criteria of the assessment are drawn from:
- ACSC Essential Eight;
- ISO 27001;
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework;
- ICO Accountability Framework;
- Current Insurance Requirements; and
- Industry Best Practice.
Why conduct a CMA?
Risk Reduction
The CMA provides improved understanding and reduction of your cyber risks. Your organisation will be able to leverage the CMA report and remediation plan to maximise your cyber risk reduction strategies, increase resiliency, and be in a stronger position to meet and exceed compliance requirements.
Resilience
You gain the assurance that your security and data protection controls meet recognised standards for protecting your information and assets, whilst reducing your overall cyber risk. A CMA provides both validation of your security and data protection maturity, as well as a tailored plan for implementing additional controls.
