Assessments

Our security risk assessments help you identify key focus areas for building cybersecurity resilience. By providing a roadmap of prioritized action plans, SES empowers you to make strategic improvements to support business and compliance goals.

SES’ team of cybersecurity engineers perform assessments for organizations based on their specific risks and requirements to ensure meaningful results. From a small subset of systems, to an entire cybersecurity program, we have worked with organizations across industries to conduct assessments, providing visibility into their core capabilities. Our core assessment services include Cybersecurity Framework Assessments and Cybermaturity Assessments, further defined below.

We are able to support a multitude of assessments against regulatory requirements, standards, and frameworks including: ISO/IEC 27001, NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), HIPAA, NIST Privacy Framework, NIST SP 800-53, NIST 800-171, and are readying ourselves to be able to conduct Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) assessments.

Our engagements go beyond simply providing a listing of findings. We create tailored, risk-informed roadmaps aligned with business and compliance goals to drive improvements across your cybersecurity program.

CYBERSECURITY FRAMEWORK

Cybersecurity risks are on the rise as threat actors continually become more sophisticated. Simply deploying more advanced security technologies without having a firm understanding of your cybersecurity program’s core competencies may lead to only a nominal reduction to your risk exposure.

Our cybersecurity assessments are approached from a risk-based perspective and utilize the NIST Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (NIST Cybersecurity Framework), which established a common language for describing a cybersecurity program in terms of identifying, protecting, detecting, responding, and recovering from threats. By using the Cybersecurity Framework, we can perform a comprehensive assessment of the current state of your cybersecurity program, develop a risk-informed target state identifying areas to improve, and provide action plans to successfully reach your target state goals.

CYBERMATURITY

Our engineers utilize the CMMI Institute’s Cybermaturity Platform (CMMI-CMP), which incorporates industry standards and best practices into one comprehensive assessment platform. The CMMI-CMP takes a risk-based, capability-driven approach to help organizations build resilience and systematically increase cybersecurity maturity across your organization. Leveraging the CMMI-CMP, we assist organizations, large and small, in determining the current maturity of their cybersecurity program and identifying their greatest cybersecurity risks to be addressed. By understanding the business risks of an organization, along with the current baseline maturity, we develop roadmaps for improvement to close gaps while moving toward a targeted maturity level consistent with your business objectives.

CYBERMATURITY ASSESSMENT

Want to know how cyber mature you are? Looking for a standardized model to understand how you measure up to your competitors?

At SES, we use CMMI’s Cybermaturity Platform (CMMI-CMP) to provide a standardized approach for defining risk, measuring cybersecurity capabilities, and developing a roadmap toward meeting maturity targets and building organizational resilience.


The Cybermaturity Platform takes a risk-based, capability driven approach to standardizing maturity and enabling organizations to prioritize cyber capabilities based on their business needs. The Cybermaturity Platform was launched by the CMMI Institute in 2018 and has now been implemented by dozens of organizations around the world with great success!

SES is a partner with the CMMI Institute who continues to support the maintenance and expansion of the CMMI-CMP by incorporating cybersecurity and privacy best practices and developing alignments to relevant standards including NIST SP 800-171.

Leveraging the CMMI-CMP, we assist organizations large and small to:

  • Measure current maturity levels
  • Set target maturity levels
  • Generate a prioritized roadmap of cybersecurity capabilities
  • Align to industry recognized standards & frameworks

By understanding the business risks of an organization, along with the current baseline maturity, we develop roadmaps for improvement to close gaps while moving toward a targeted maturity level consistent with your business objectives.


Figuring out where to start is often the hardest part of managing risk and building organizational resilience. Using the CMMI-CMP, we can help you identify which capabilities have the greatest impact on your business and create a prioritized roadmap of capabilities to drive down risk and keep your organization running!

Once created, the roadmap can be used to manage improvement projects and track progress over time. Using the CMMI-CMP, SES can help you leverage this platform to keep you ahead of your adversaries and on top of best practices.
