Implement an approach to cybersecurity risk assessment that gives your business real-time readiness alerts and action status.
There are two-factors to understanding cyber risk, when implementing a cybersecurity risk assessment tool for your business.
Inherent Risk– A risk that an event will occur which may negatively impact organizations’ objectives, assuming there are no security controls in place.
Residual Risk– A risk that remains after taking security controls into account.
Cybersecurity risk cannot be eliminated completely, but security controls are designed to lower that risk to an acceptable level. Our readiness and risk assessment solutions measure cybersecurity risk, based on NIST Standards. NIST Standards provide a common language to address and manage cyber risk in a cost-effective way, based on business needs.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a unified standard for implementing cybersecurity across the DoD contractor base and supply chains. The CMMC is the DOD’s response to significant compromises of sensitive defense information located on contractors’ information systems. It establishes a significant change for implementing critical cybersecurity requirements, by requiring third-party assessments of contractors’ compliance with certain mandatory practices, procedures, and capabilities.
DFARS provides a set of adequate security controls to safeguard information systems where contractor data resides. All DoD contractors that process, store, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must meet DFARS minimum security standards, or risk losing their DoD contracts. Based on NIST 800-171, contractors must implement these security controls throughout their organization and monitor compliance across their supply chain.
NIST CSF helps organizations understand their cybersecurity risks and how to reduce those risks. The Framework also introduces a standardized methodology of response to, and recovery from cybersecurity breaches, or incidents. Gartner predicted the number of U.S. organizations adopting the Framework to soar to 50 percent by 2020.
The HIPAA Security Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals’ electronic personal health information that is created, received, used, or maintained by a covered entity. HIPAA requires appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of digital health records. Based on NIST 800-66, healthcare providers must implement these security controls throughout their organization.
We developed our cybersecurity solution, CyberKnights, using the NICE Framework as the foundation. Individuals, employers, and educators are given the ability to drill-down through the Framework, identify Skills Gaps and training needs, and find matched talent whose KSAs meet skills requirements.
