Cyber Assessment Framework 360

Start your journey towards a new level of security and protection

Adaptation is vital for the growth and success of every business today. In particular, the ability to respond to and protect against rising cyber security threats is vital to avoid disruption.

All organisations in every sector are vulnerable to cyber attacks. According to official Government statistics, 39% of UK businesses were subject to cyber attacks in 2022, while as many as 31% were targeted as often as once a week. Making the act of defence even more complicated is the fact that the risk is evolving all the time: different threats like ransomware have emerged in recent years, as well as state-backed operations with deep expertise and resources to support malicious activity.

To understand how best to protect data, systems and applications against the threats of today and tomorrow, you must first establish where your security provision has gaps to be filled and improvements to be made.

Common cybersecurity challenges

Every organisation and industry is different, but there are three common areas where many businesses and enterprises struggle in their security provision:

• Detecting events and mitigating impact: if the wrong decisions are made regarding security measures, then it’s more likely that detection systems won’t pick up on all attacks, and malicious activity can slip through the net and disrupt operations
• Risk management: the ability to understand, assess and manage security risks is hindered by a lack of organisational structures, policies and processes
• Attack protection: without the right solutions and services in place, the capabilities of defences is limited, and your essential functions and data could be compromised more easily

Your first step on the road to better security

SCC’s Cyber Assessment Framework 360 is designed to transform your approach to cybersecurity and digital strategy. The assessment generates a high-level snapshot of security provision, so that you can get a fast and accurate view of your key capabilities, identify areas of concern, and gain recommendations for action and improvement. The assessment takes just a few minutes: it generates not only an instant performance dashboard, but also an executive report that can support you when making your case to key decision-makers in your organisation.
