Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment

Ensuring the availability and integrity of critical systems in the face of cyber threats represents a new challenge for many critical organizations. The first step to taking charge of your cybersecurity is to get a detailed picture of the current situation.

A cybersecurity maturity assessment is the activity that will allow you to understand your current level of cybersecurity and benchmark it with similar organizations in the same industry.

The assessment provides a 360-degree view of all activities impacting your cybersecurity, while proposing concrete measures aimed at quickly and measurably strengthening the level of cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity governance

Our cybersecurity governance service helps organizations establish robust frameworks to effectively manage cyber risks and ensure compliance with regulations (e.g., NERC CIP) or industry best practices (IEC 62443, NIST, CIS, ISO 27001).

In collaboration with your teams, we develop policies, processes and control mechanisms tailored to your specific needs. This includes aligning with industry best practices, clearly defining roles and responsibilities, and optimizing incident management and threat response. Through rigorous governance, your organization can strengthen its security posture while minimizing the potential impact of cyber attacks.

NERC CIP compliance (energy sector)

Compliance with NERC CIP standards is a major challenge for power generation and transmission companies. Our NERC CIP compliance team is here to help organizations in the energy sector meet safety-critical standards for electrical infrastructure. We guide you through each and every requirement of the NERC CIP standards, as well as in maintaining the vast amount of associated documentation.

Thanks to its experience in the design and construction of energy production and transmission infrastructure assets, CIMA+ has been able to help several entities achieve compliance with this standard.

Risk assessment based on IEC 62443

Our IEC 62443 risk assessment service helps companies identify, analyze and mitigate cybersecurity risks in industrial control systems (ICS) and critical infrastructure assets. Using a structured methodology that complies with international requirements, we examine vulnerabilities, assess threats and propose measures to enhance the security of your operations. This service is aimed at organizations seeking to align their security practices with the best industry standards, ensure the resilience of their critical systems and meet regulatory requirements.

Information governance

Information governance provides a comprehensive approach that integrates not only document management (structure and lifecycle of documents) but also data prioritization and the implementation of security measures associated with their roles. Its effective integration promotes information control and facilitates collaboration among stakeholders in your organization, while maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your informational assets.

Cybersecurity threat and risk assessment

A cybersecurity threat and risk assessment examine potential threats and vulnerabilities in the framework of a project. This is performed by leveraging threat intelligence and modelling to identify risks, while considering regulatory compliance if applicable.

All the threats identified are documented and rated based on the probability they will manifest, and their impact.

Our experts also provide recommendations and advice on adequate mitigation measures.

An inherently secure design is the most effective means of protecting your assets against attackers.

Vulnerability assessment

A vulnerability assessment is the most effective and diligent way to test your organization’s cybersecurity, ensuring that there are no vulnerabilities or security misconfigurations that can be exploitable by attackers. Such audits can be performed on external networks to determine public exposure to attackers and on internal networks for more comprehensive results.

A vulnerability assessment will reveal which assets pose the greatest risks to the organization and suggest the most effective mitigation measures. We provide technical support to help you navigate the challenges associated with risk remediation.

Vulnerability assessments should be carried out regularly, especially in mission-critical or fast-changing environments.

Intrusion test

An intrusion test is the best method to identify hard-to-find vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security flaws within applications.

Intrusion tests are performed by specially trained security professionals (ethical hackers) using real-world attacker’s tactics and techniques to simulate controlled cyberattacks. Moreover, an intrusion test will concretely demonstrate the real impacts of cyberattacks, thus helping the organization identify and understand the risks to which it is exposed.

All the threats identified are documented and rated according to the probability they will manifest, and the severity of their impact. Our experts provide an action plan to help you mitigate the risks associated with these threats, as well as technical support to help you navigate the challenges associated with risk remediation.
