What is NIST?

NIST stands for ‘National Institute of Standards and Technology’ at the U.S. Department of Commerce. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework helps businesses of all sizes better understand, manage, and reduce their cybersecurity risk and protect their networks and data. The Framework is voluntary.


Expose your Cyber Security weaknesses, understand your risks and see the path forward.

  • Assess

  • Review

  • Report


Our NIST assessment is a comprehensive review of your security infrastructure led by experienced cybersecurity experts, helping you to determine what technologies & security controls are operating effectively.

We don’t view cyber security as just a technical issue, our methodology revolves around three key elements of information security: people, process and technology.

The assessment is delivered in 3 key stages and completed within 6 to 9 days.

  • A risk assessment will baseline your organisation against the National Institute of Standards & Technology, Cybersecurity Framework (NIST), considered to be an industry best practice. The report will detail how your business aligns to NIST & benchmark it against organisations in relation to size, location & industry.

  • The technical assessment drills down into the detail of the security gaps (internal & external vulnerabilities) as well as examining your layers of security solutions & how effective they are in protecting your organisation.

  • A full report of your overall security status will include:

    • Your security strengths & weaknesses

    • Recommendations on how to improve your security posture

    • High level plan of actions & priorities
