Maturity Level Assessments
A Maturity Level Assessment goes beyond identifying vulnerabilities—it measures how well your organisation’s security controls, policies, and response capabilities align with industry best practices and evolving cyber threats.
At StrikeCyber, our Maturity Level Assessments go beyond traditional vulnerability identification—we evaluate the effectiveness, consistency, and resilience of your organisation’s cybersecurity controls. Using industry-recognized frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and the ASD Essential Eight, we assess your security policies, technical implementations, and incident response capabilities to determine your overall maturity level. Our expert team provides detailed insights, risk-based recommendations, and a strategic roadmap to help you strengthen your security posture, align with best practices, and enhance your organisation’s ability to defend against evolving cyber threats.
Our Maturity Assessment Services
At StrikeCyber, we assess your security maturity using globally recognised frameworks and best practices to help you understand, measure, and enhance your cybersecurity posture.
ASD Essential Eight Assessment
We evaluate your organisation’s alignment with the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) Essential Eight maturity model, ensuring effective protection against common cyber threats. Our assessment covers:
- Application whitelisting & patch management
- Multi-factor authentication & privilege restrictions
- Security configurations & backup integrity
NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Maturity Review
Assessing your organisation’s security controls against the NIST CSF, we measure your ability to identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats. This includes:
- Governance & risk management
- Incident response readiness
- Continuous monitoring & threat intelligence integration
ISO 27001 Compliance & Maturity Assessment
We analyse how well your organisation aligns with ISO/IEC 27001, the global standard for information security management systems (ISMS), by reviewing:
- Security policies, risk management, and governance
- Access control, data protection, and compliance measures
- Security awareness and operational security
CIS Critical Security Controls Maturity Review
We benchmark your security maturity against the CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS CSC), ensuring a strong foundation for risk reduction and cyber resilience. Our assessment includes:
- Inventory & control of hardware/software assets
- Secure configuration of systems & continuous vulnerability management
- Malware defences, monitoring, and incident response capabilities
Cloud Security Maturity Assessment
We assess the security posture of your cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) based on best practices and compliance requirements, including:
- IAM security & privilege management
- Network segmentation, encryption, and data security
- Cloud logging, monitoring, and response strategies
Security Awareness & Incident Response Readiness
A strong security posture depends on both technology and human resilience. We assess:
- Employee awareness of phishing & social engineering threats
- Effectiveness of incident response and crisis management plans
- Detection & response speed in simulated cyberattack scenarios
- Enhance your cybersecurity maturity, improve compliance, and strengthen your defences before threats emerge.
Let StrikeCyber help you build a more resilient security framework.
Maturity Level Assessment
At StrikeCyber, our Maturity Level Assessment follows a structured approach to evaluate, benchmark, and enhance your organisation’s security posture. By aligning with industry standards such as ASD Essential Eight, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls, we provide a clear roadmap for strengthening your cybersecurity maturity.
Phase 1:
Scoping & Planning
We begin by defining the scope and objectives of the assessment to ensure alignment with your business goals, compliance requirements, and security priorities.
- Identify the security frameworks to be assessed (e.g., ASD Essential Eight, NIST, ISO 27001).
- Review existing policies, controls, and risk management strategies.
- Engage with key stakeholders to establish objectives and expectations.
- Define data collection methods (interviews, documentation reviews, technical testing, etc.).
This phase ensures the assessment is tailored to your organisation’s needs and provides relevant, actionable insights.
Phase 2:
Security Maturity Evaluation
We comprehensively review your security posture, assessing controls, processes, and technical implementations across key domains.
- Gap analysis against industry standards to identify security weaknesses.
- Assessment of security controls, configurations, and incident response readiness.
- Evaluation of patch management, access controls, and privileged account security.
- Technical testing of infrastructure, cloud environments, and endpoint security.
Our experts identify maturity gaps and security risks, mapping them to real-world attack scenarios to determine your current security level.
Phase 3:
Risk Prioritization & Maturity Scoring
Once the assessment is complete, we categorise risks and assign maturity scores to help your organisation prioritise remediation efforts.
- Risk classification based on impact, likelihood, and exploitability.
- Maturity scoring aligned with frameworks like ASD Essential Eight, NIST CSF, and CIS Controls.
- Identification of critical gaps that require immediate attention.
- Benchmarking against industry standards and peer organisations.
This phase translates technical findings into clear, business-relevant insights, ensuring decision-makers can prioritise improvements effectively.
Phase 4:
Strategic Roadmap & Recommendations
We deliver a detailed report and action plan to help your organisation improve its security maturity.
- Comprehensive security maturity report with risk-based recommendations.
- Step-by-step guidance on closing security gaps and achieving compliance goals.
- Prioritized action items for short-term and long-term improvements.
- Stakeholder briefing to discuss findings and next steps.
Our recommendations focus on enhancing resilience, improving compliance, and reducing cyber risk exposure.
Phase 5:
Implementation Support & Validation (Optional)
For organisations looking for continued support, we provide:
- Assistance with policy updates, security control implementations, and process improvements.
- Retesting and validation assessments to measure progress over time.
- Ongoing security advisory and training for IT and security teams.
