CyberCulture Scan: Building a Robust, Ready and Resilient Cybersecurity Culture

Putting people at the center of cybersecurity resilience

Organizations have never been more vulnerable to the human element of cyber and data security: In fact, human decisions and behaviors trigger more than two out of three incidents. An organization’s cybersecurity culture can either contribute to its protection or introduce risk. 

Our Approach: Assess, Embed, Enable

Cybersecurity culture refers to the knowledge, beliefs, perceptions, attitudes, assumptions, norms, and values people have about cyber and data security in an organization’s day-to-day operations.

Our approach to helping clients strengthen their cybersecurity culture is tailored to the specific organization’s cultural situation, maturity, and cybersecurity objectives.

CyberCulture Scan Methodology

Our six-step methodology provides in-depth insights into your organization’s cybersecurity culture, offering a detailed scorecard to assess your strengths and identify areas for improvement. This will enable you to develop a tailored strategy to improve your organization’s cybersecurity resilience.

Backgrounding

Desk-level research, materials request and review, and a client workshop to ensure we understand the business, the organization, its primary security (cybersecurity, data privacy, etc.) risk areas and history.

1:1 Leader Interviews

Confidential discussions to understand leaders' perceptions of how security advances business strategy, its connection to current culture and priorities for improvement.
