Delivery Methodology

Advantio’s Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment model is designed to review an organization's cyber security posture against the cyber security industry's best practice standards and frameworks including ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST and COBIT. Alongside industry best practices Advantio also examines organization's internal policies, procedures and controls, and reviews the legislation, and compliance obligations.

Through a project engagement plan, Advantio performs a series of document reviews, technology reviews, interviews and discovery activities to assess the maturity of the organization's core business units and critical IT processes including:

  • Information Security Strategy Management
  • Information Security Asset Management
  • Risk Management
  • Incident Management
  • Procurement Management
  • System Lifecycle Management
  • Information Management
  • External Dependencies
  • Physical Security
  • Business Continuity

Following the Assessment stage Advantio provided the organisation with a Maturity Assessment Report and Capability Maturity Score. The report includes a detailed executive summary which is board-ready and provides a full-blown plan of action with budgetary indication for each action. This includes a roadmap for security maturity.
