What cybersecurity assessments does IBEAN offer?

IBEAN offers 7 cybersecurity assessments: Security Maturity (NIST/ISO 27001 scored), Threat & Risk Assessment, Zero-Trust Readiness, Compliance Readiness (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, DPDP, RBI), Incident Response Readiness, Vendor & Supply Chain Risk, and Cloud Security Posture.

What does a Security Maturity Assessment score tell me?

The Security Maturity Assessment produces a score (1–5) per NIST and ISO 27001 control domain, showing exactly where your security posture is strongest and where it is most exposed. A score below 3 in any domain typically triggers a Fractional CISO recommendation.

Which compliance frameworks does IBEAN assess against?

IBEAN's Compliance Readiness Assessment covers ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, India's DPDP Act 2023, RBI Cybersecurity Framework, and DORA (for financial services). Each framework produces a gap analysis and a certification-readiness roadmap.

Know Your Threat Exposure Before a Threat Actor Does.

Assessment 1 of 7

Security Maturity Assessment

Baseline assessment of your overall cybersecurity posture using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and ISO 27001 control domains. Produces a maturity score (1–5) per domain and a prioritised improvement roadmap.

Incident Response Assessment

Evaluates the maturity of your incident response capability: detection and alerting, response playbooks, escalation protocols, communication plans, and tabletop exercise history. Most organisations score below 40 on response readiness.

Cybersecurity Assessments — Common Questions

The Security Maturity Assessment evaluates your cybersecurity posture across the five NIST Cybersecurity Framework functions — Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover — and maps these to ISO 27001 control domains. Each domain receives a maturity score from 1 (initial/ad-hoc) to 5 (optimised). The assessment identifies your highest-risk control gaps, produces a prioritised improvement roadmap, and provides a benchmark comparison against sector peers. Delivered within 5 business days of the assessment session.

The compliance gap assessment identifies the specific control gaps that must be remediated before certification. For organisations with a reasonable security baseline (scoring 2–3 on the maturity assessment), ISO 27001 certification typically takes 4–8 months from gap assessment to certification audit. Organisations starting from a low maturity base (score 1) typically require 10–14 months. IBEAN's assessment gives you an accurate timeline estimate based on your specific gap profile — not a generic projection.

The right framework depends on your industry, geography, and customer requirements. ISO 27001 is the most universally recognised and is required by many enterprise procurement processes. SOC 2 Type II is required by US-based enterprise clients and is increasingly requested in UK and European procurement. GDPR applies to any organisation processing EU personal data. DPDP Act applies to organisations processing Indian personal data. DORA applies to financial entities operating in the EU. IBEAN's Compliance Readiness Assessment covers your specific applicable frameworks — not a generic checklist.

A tabletop exercise is a structured simulation of a cybersecurity incident — typically ransomware, data breach, or system outage — where your leadership and response team walk through the response process without an actual incident occurring. It tests whether your incident response plan works under realistic conditions and identifies gaps in communication, escalation, and decision authority. IBEAN recommends a tabletop exercise for all organisations with an incident response plan — because an untested plan is a false sense of security. Most clients who complete the Incident Response Assessment discover their response time estimates are 3–5x too optimistic.
