Cybersecurity Readiness Assessments

• Assessment Problem

  Do you really know where your cybersecurity risk exists within your organization? Many don’t even have a trusted inventory let alone asset classification with security on top of that! Add in the layers of legacy, cloud, mobile, 3rd party providers and move and we have a dynamic hot mess on our hands to manage. It has BECOME unmanageable and accepted by many in 2024. Hackers become our auditors. If you pay auditors it’s very expensive and focused upon compliance, when what you really need is a security driven outcome with compliance in mind, to the LEFT of BOOM.

• 4D5A Security - How We Are Different

  Affordable excellence is achieved within readiness assessments through the following summarized strategies:

  • Experienced Staff without the Certified Cost
    Experienced staff, even if they are certified, are not charging prices not spending the time to perform audit services, when performing a readiness assessment. We are focused on operational assessment and management outcomes to move the needle forward.
  • Experienced Level of Effort (LoE) for Best ROI
    Why perform an entire NIST 800-53 if you’ve never done a framework ‘anything’ before? Why go with NIST at all? Do you know why or why not? What are you compliant for or possibly responsible for and don’t realize? 4D5A Security takes the guess work out of this, recommends the best return on investment (ROI), so you can make an informed decision for the best value for your company (not our bottom line but yours).
  • Assessments Lower Costs and Improve Operations
    Studies show that framework driven organizations are more cost effective with lower risk, over time, as they mature. 4D5A Security has globally recognized staff on board with experience at all levels of F100, all sectors, and organizational size of a few people to thousands of employees in dozens of countries, to advise and guide you according to your specific needs and readiness.
