Why the Smartt Cybersecurity Assessment?

Clients typically use Smartt's Cybersecurity Assessment to assess its IT Service Management (ITSM) Practices, the effectiveness of their cybersecurity risk management efforts, and opportunities for improvements in the context of their overall organizational performance.  

Common Use Cases for Cybersecurity Assessments:


  • Compliance Preparation Prepare for compliance validation (Example: PCI, SOX, DISMA, HIPPA) or prevent potential future compliance breaches

  • Validating Current or Previous Work Validate work performed by an IT Vendor or a siloed IT group

  • Security Incident Recovery To have an objective post mortem and remediation plan after a significant service interruption or security incident

  • Growth or Expansion To assess on the existing environment to determine the best course of action (replication, scaling, re-design, or migration) for rapid growth and expansion

This assessment is built around the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework – a globally adopted standard that is followed by many public and private companies. NIST is a U.S. agency dedicated to promoting industrial competitiveness by providing standards, guidelines, and practices that cover many fields. One of these fields is organizational cybersecurity, and NIST is considered one of the top authorities in the world in regard to developing up-to-date guidelines for companies to follow.

How Does a Cybersecurity Assessment Work?

A Cybersecurity Assessment can take from one to six  weeks.

  1. Network Diagrams (Subnets and VLANS)

The Personnel

Pre-engagement questionnaire, interviews, and "shoulder surfing".
