QUESTIONS
FAQ
How is this different from an Essential Eight assessment?
Essential Eight covers eight technical mitigations. A cyber maturity assessment is broader — governance, identity, data, detection, response and recovery — and is the frame most boards and insurers actually want.
Does it replace a formal external assessment?
No, but it dramatically shortens one. Most external assessors will accept the platform output as the baseline and focus their billable hours on validation and evidence review.
Can we re-use the output for ISO 27001 or SOC 2?
Yes — the control mapping makes the gap-to-certification analysis straightforward, and the artefacts feed straight into your ISMS or Trust Services Criteria work.
Who runs the assessment internally?
Most customers have the CISO, IT manager or risk lead drive it, with input from data, application and operations owners. The platform structures the conversation.
