A CSR is a foundational document offering a clear and concise review of the threats, assets, and weaknesses, employing widely-accepted good practice and frameworks like NIST Cyber Security Framework, CIS 18 and others. With a clear understanding of where you stand, an effective plan of improvement can be developed to take you to where you want to be.


What is the reason my company needs to conduct a Cyber Security Review?

CSRs are an essential process for any business looking to enhance their security. From small startups that is looking to implement security right from the start, to large enterprises looking to reach "best of breed" status. The CSR provides a clear indication of the current security posture for all kinds of companies.


Implementing a CSR can also help prevent businesses from falling victim to two of the most frequent cyber security traps:


Poor investments


A CSR is an investment that can be considered strategic. It makes sure that any future security investments are the best ones that will make budgeting more efficient and proving the returns on investment. Companies that do not conduct reviewing their security plans make poor decisions about the security products or services they will require.


False impression of security maturity


What do you know about what direction you're heading in when you don't know where you are? If you don't know your weaknesses and the threats that are likely to attack your business It is hard to estimate the degree and scope of cyber-security risks you are facing. This will ensure that you're prepared to implement the appropriate security measures and put the appropriate procedures and processes in place to increase your resilience.
