3-minute assessment to better cyber security

Apr 25, 2025 | Cloud, Featured Articles, Security

Take the 3 minute security assessment to see how you rank. Find key areasto focus on to improve your security posture. Take action today!

Bottom Line: This cybersecurity assessment reveals whether your security spending is actually protecting you or just burning budget.

Why it matters: Most organizations can’t answer basic questions like “When did each security control last prevent an attack?” or “Are your most expensive tools your most effective ones?” Without these answers, you’re flying blind with potentially millions in wasted security investments.

What you get:

  • Clear identification of measurement gaps in your security program
  • Specific roadmap from “Not Started” to mature security practices
  • Data-driven framework to prove ROI on security investments
  • 30-180 day implementation plan with actionable steps

The reality check: The sample report shows companies spending heavily on security while lacking basic effectiveness metrics. You’re either measuring what matters or you’re guessing with your cybersecurity budget.

Next step: Take the assessment to discover which of your security controls are actually working – and which ones are just expensive placeholders.

Step 1 of 3
1. How do you currently measure the effectiveness of your security controls?
2. Do you know the last time each control actually prevented or detected an attack?
3. Can you show the data that justifies this allocation?
4. When was the last time you measured how long it takes to detect and respond to security incidents?
5. Do you track which security awareness training topics actually result in measurable behavior changes?
6. Can you show me the data that proves your most expensive security controls are actually your most effective ones?
7. How do you measure and compare the ROI of different security tools and processes?
8. For your last 5 security incidents, can you show what data you collected about root causes and how that informed changes to your security program?
9. Do you have metrics showing which attack vectors are trending up or down in your environment over time?
10. How do you correlate security metrics with business impact?
