The Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment by Advantio model is an effective yet efficient way to assess, communicate, and manage information security programs. In simple terms, the Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment is a framework that deep-dives into understanding the maturity level of every cybersecurity process in the company.
Based on the COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology) model, the Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment provides a crystal-clear picture of your organization’s security infrastructure. COBIT is ISACA’s IT governance framework that addresses technical issues, control requirements, and business risk. It is a process management framework that is business-focused and aligns itself with IT maturity, risk management, and control objectives. The Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment by Advantio is a robust, reliable and repeatable approach that is specifically designed to assess the maturity of any business’s governance and management process.

The assessment also focuses on how people, processes, and technology respond in the event of an incident or breach. Highlighting where there is a need for enhanced employee education in incident handling. The framework makes sure that such incidents are handled correctly.
