VIRCONIX CYBERSECURITY MATURITY ASSESSMENT

The VIRCONIX vCISO service model encompasses a comprehensive suite of strategic and operational capabilities designed to establish, mature, and maintain robust security programs for small to mid-sized firms.

Our VCMA is a 30-day engagement will prepare you to achieve compliance without wasting time or money (SOC 2, PCI, ISO, NIST CSF) that allows us to demonstrate our capabilities and provide actionable intelligence.

Our audit process begins with a thorough assessment of existing security postures, identification of gaps, documentation of current capabilities, and a recommended desired state.

Phase 1 - Assessment & Recommendations

A typical engagement begins with an introductory meeting to understand the general state of the security program and to determine the most appropriate framework. With the proper coordination of client resources, audits can be accomplished within 30 days.

Objectives:

Conduct a comprehensive cybersecurity risk assessment against enterprise practices, including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0, to:

• Identify technical, administrative, and physical security gaps.

• Evaluate implementation options—self-managed vs. MSP-supported—with cost-benefit analysis.

• Assess timelines, risks, and organizational readiness to mature our security capabilities.

• Deliver a prioritized roadmap of recommendations with a 90-day actionable plan.

Key Responsibilities:

Assessment & Roadmap Development: CSF 2.0 Rapid Baseline & Profile Facilitate a structured workshop to establish current cybersecurity maturity across the six CSF Functions (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover). Capture a high-level Target Profile for near-term planning.

• Focused Discovery: Conduct up to four stakeholder interviews (business, IT, security, compliance) and review key documentation to assess existing safeguards, policies, and processes.

• Risk Identification & Tiering: Develop a Top-10 risk register with likelihood/impact ratings and map risks to CSF categories. Provide maturity indicators (Tier 1–4) by function.

• Rough-order-of-magnitude (ROM) Options & Quick Wins: Outline costs and effort to close the most critical gaps—comparing a self-managed vs. MSP-assisted approach.

• 90-Day Roadmap: Build a time-boxed action plan with recommended owners, milestones, and success metrics.

Phase 1 Deliverables:  

Executive Brief including:

• Current vs. Target Profile snapshot

• Top-10 risks and business impacts

• 90-day action plan with ROM cost/effort estimates

• Appendices: Interview summaries, baseline outputs, and key assumptions.
