What is CyberIndex
A standards-aligned maturity assessment across 20 domains with 12 core questions each. You get weighted scores, a colour heat map, and a board-ready roadmap so you can reduce risk, justify investment, and protect commercial momentum.
Who It’s For and When To Use It
For: Senior technology and commercial leadership.
Use When:
You need an objective baseline for the board.
Audits, incidents, or customer diligence expose gaps.
Investment planning demands clear priorities and measurable outcomes.
Outcomes You Can Bank On
Standards-aligned baseline (NIST, ISO, CIS, ENISA) → faster, defensible governance decisions.
Weighted heat map of exposure → fix what matters most first.
Benchmarkable maturity by domain → track uplift and prove progress.
Time-phased roadmap with owners → predictable delivery, controlled spend.
Incident-readiness clarity → less disruption, shorter recovery timelines.
Investment aligned to objectives → less waste, more risk reduction per pound.
Stakeholder confidence uplift → stronger trust with regulators, customers, partners.
What We Assess, At A Glance
Governance and management Clear accountability and policy enable consistent, auditable execution.
Risk management Business-aligned evaluation targets controls that materially reduce likelihood and impact.
Identity and access management Robust identity, access, and privilege practices lower breach probability.
Data protection and security Safeguards maintain compliance and protect brand trust.
Security operations Effective detection and response compress dwell time and disruption.
Incident response Practised playbooks, roles, and communications limit damage and recovery time.
Full model covers all 20 domains. Responses are scored 1 to 5 from Non-existent to Optimised, with weightings by business criticality
