REST ASSURED.
Discover security weaknesses in your IT setup before they are exploited by a malicious third party.
A cyber security gap analysis determines the differences between the current and ideal state of information security within your organisation.
How it works
CSIS conducts a workshop with the relevant employees in the organisation and covers a wide variety of cyber security-related components, controls and procedures. We also touch upon the organisation’s business imperatives, as well as the security challenges employees themselves feel that they have at work.
Based on the organisation’s profile and business - as well as CSIS extensive knowledge in IT security - we work with you to assign a priority from 1-4 to the responses given.
