Frequently asked questions
What is a cyber security assessment?
A cyber security assessment is a process for evaluating a business's security posture by identifying vulnerabilities, threats, and weaknesses in its systems, networks, and practices.
A cyber threat assessment consists of reviewing policies, controls, and technologies to ensure they meet security standards and regulations. The process includes services such as penetration testing, vulnerability scans, and risk assessments to determine potential attack vectors.
Ultimately, a cyber resilience assessment protects sensitive data, minimises risk, and recommends improvements to strengthen defences against cyber threats. Regular reviews help maintain security resilience and compliance with legal or industry standards within your industry sector.
Why do businesses need a cyber security assessment?
As cyber threats evolve and become more intricate, businesses need cyber security assessments to identify vulnerabilities and protect sensitive data before a threat even takes place.
Assessments help detect weaknesses before they are exploited by hackers, reducing the risk of data breaches, financial loss, and reputational damage, all whilst ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
Cyber security assessments also evaluate the effectiveness of current security measures and provide recommendations for improvement. On top of that, regular assessments ensure that security practices are up to date, minimise downtime from potential attacks, and reinforce customer trust.Overall, cyber security assessments are essential for maintaining a strong defence against ever-growing cyber risks in today’s digital landscape.
How long does a cyber security assessment take?
The duration of a cyber security assessment varies based on the scope, complexity, and size of your business.
For small to medium businesses, an assessment may take anywhere from a few days to two weeks, depending on the depth of analysis required.
On the other hand, larger businesses may need a more comprehensive assessment, including penetration testing and compliance audits, which can take several weeks to complete.
Factors like the number of systems, the type of data being assessed, and the specific security goals also influence the timeline. While the assessment itself can be completed relatively quickly, implementing recommended improvements may take additional time.
Luckily, Focus Group offers several bespoke cyber security assessment services which fit the needs of all businesses, of all sizes. So, you're in safe hands with us!
