Cybersecurity Assessments

Understanding the Current State

Cybersecurity is not a luxury. It’s a necessity. Cyberattacks can cause devastating damage to your business, reputation, and customers. You can’t afford to ignore the cyber risks that you face every day.

That’s why you need Apogee Defense, a team of experienced and certified cybersecurity consultants who can help you assess your cybersecurity maturity and readiness. We can help you identify and close the gaps in your security posture, comply with the relevant standards and regulations, and prepare for and respond to cyber incidents.

We specialize in defending the industries with the most to lose in the event of a cybersecurity breach. These industries handle sensitive data such as:

• HIPAA: Health information that is protected by federal law and subject to daily penalties if compromised. 92% of businesses that suffer a HIPAA breach go out of business within two years.

• DoD Information: Classified or confidential data that has a high value on the dark web and among nation states. Without a full assessment to NIST and CMMC standards, you could face severe consequences and lose your contracts.

• PCI DSS: Credit card data that is a tempting target and an easily transactable commodity among criminal groups. By complying with PCI DSS and maintaining consistent audits, you can protect your business through a safe harbor and avoid the full financial impact of a breach.

Our cybersecurity assessment process is based on various frameworks such as NIST, CMMC, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and others. Our process includes:

• Scoping: We define the scope and objectives of the assessment based on your business context and needs. We also determine the assessment criteria and methodology that will be used.

• Data Collection: We collect data from various sources such as interviews, surveys, documents, observations, tests, scans, audits, etc. We use state-of-the-art tools and techniques to gather accurate and reliable data.

• Data Analysis: We analyze the data using quantitative and qualitative methods to identify gaps, risks, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. We use industry benchmarks and best practices to measure your performance against your peers and standards.

• Reporting: We produce a detailed report that summarizes the findings and recommendations of the assessment. The report includes an executive summary, a maturity scorecard, a risk profile, a gap analysis, an action plan, and supporting evidence.

• Presentations: We present the report to you in a clear and concise manner. We explain the results and implications of the assessment. We also answer any questions you may have and discuss the next steps.
