Creating your Cyber Security Posture

Overview

CyberSystem offers your organisation a single pane of glass to look at your cyber security posture, share this with internal and external stakeholders, and remediate some of the issues that your organisation may be facing. 

In order to make the most out of app, there are a number of steps to follow to ensure not only the most accurate view of your current posture, but also the most relevant and accurate advice. 

This article provides an overview of the steps you will take as you navigate through your CyberSystem journey.

Onboarding

This is where the app gets to know your organisation and teams. 

The Organisation setup guide will take you through the a series of questions in order to find out more information about how your organisation operates, and what assets and services it both provides and utilises. 

Next, you'll need to create your team and set up their access by assigning different roles based on what they intended to do within the application. 

Finally, you can request and offer access to and from your organisation to other organisations within CyberSystem.

Creating an assessment

Assessments are at the heart of CyberSystem. Whether you are working towards a certification or standard, or simply want to use one of the many inbuilt templates, you can create an assessment quickly and start answering questions to provide a better understanding of your current state.

Constructing your road map

Now that the app understands more about your current state, you can curate a road map by breaking down key areas of improvement into manageable tasks in order to improve your overall score. 

First, CS will help you get started by suggesting a number of actions, based on both your answers to questions within an assessment, and the benefit they will provide (i.e. how much they will improve your score). Adding these suggested actions into your roadmap is as simple as a click of a button. 

Next, you can review any remaining questions, either individually or within logically similar groups, and create actions of your own to add to your road map.

Finally, review your roadmap and schedule actions to make sure you are addressing the most critical, with the least cost, first.

Running scans 

Whilst an optional step prior to creating a report of your organisation's cyber security posture, running both external facing application and domain scans, or scans from third-party tools such as tenable.io and Microsoft Secure Score, can add further depth and insights into your posture.
