Overall Confidence Level: AVERAGE CONFIDENCE
Although this report is not a quantitative assessment of the controls, processes, or policies your organization has in place to mitigate cyber-threats, it does provide a way for you to gauge the confidence you have in your organization's ability to protect sensitive data and critical assets. The previous questions are a representative example of what areas security professionals consider when determining an organization's overall cybersecurity posture.
A CCI score of "Average" puts your confidence level in line with most of Harbor Technology Group's clients when they first contact us (we perform a CCI at the start of projects). This level of confidence is generally indicative of an organization that has focused on specific areas of cybersecurity but doesn't understand the full scope of a security program.
What Harbor finds is our client's confidence is mostly warranted, but where there are gaps, they are dangerous. But, the organization's overall security program likely has numerous weaknesses that require attention. In other words, a security program must align with the current cyber-threats facing all businesses....regardless of industry. Review the scores in each area (see below) and begin the process with those areas that you lack confidence in most.
This exercise was not an attempt to create fear, uncertainty, and doubt, but to allow you to measure your "gut." If your gut is saying you have a problem, then you likely do have a problem.
Harbor would recommend you contact a security professional to perform a risk assessment to validate what you do well and more importantly understand where you have gaps in your security program. The ultimate goal is to improve your overall security posture.
