A Modular, In-Depth Approach to Cybersecurity Program Assessments
ASHBURN, VIRGINIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 6, 2025 / CISOnow, a leading provider of cybersecurity advisory and cybersecurity assessment services, is proud to introduce the C³ Cybersecurity Assessment, a groundbreaking, modular approach to evaluating and enhancing cybersecurity programs. Unlike traditional assessments that rely on a checklist-based approach, the C³ Cybersecurity Assessment goes beyond verifying security capabilities and dives deep into configuration validation, effectiveness, and real-world application.
A Tailored Approach to Cybersecurity Assessments
The C³ Cybersecurity Assessment is built on a modular framework-Cybersecurity Strategy, Cybersecurity Protection, and Cybersecurity Resilience-ensuring organizations receive a customized, scalable, and targeted evaluation that aligns cybersecurity initiatives with key business objectives, fortifies defenses, and strengthens resilience against evolving threats. With its plug-and-play modular design, businesses can tailor their assessment based on their industry, risk profile, and cybersecurity maturity, ensuring a personalized and highly effective evaluation.
Comprehensive, Modular Cybersecurity Evaluation
Designed to be framework-agnostic, the C³ Cybersecurity Assessment seamlessly integrates with NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and other industry standards, ensuring a tailored and comprehensive evaluation that aligns with any security program.
Core Modules (Foundational Assessments):
Cybersecurity Program Maturity & Risk Management - Evaluates the maturity of the cybersecurity program, identifies key risks, and provides a structured approach to continuous improvement.
Cybersecurity Risk & Compliance - Assesses regulatory and framework alignment, ensuring readiness for NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and other compliance standards.
Cybersecurity Strategy & Vision - Develops a long-term security roadmap, aligning cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives, risk management priorities, and governance best practices.
Advanced Modules (Specialized Assessments):
Identity & Access Management (IAM) Review

Beyond NIST CSF: A Cybersecurity Assessment That Goes Deeper
Traditional cybersecurity assessments, like NIST CSF, focus on whether cybersecurity controls exist but fail to evaluate their effectiveness and configuration. The C³ Cybersecurity Assessment closes this gap by:
Evaluating Configurations - Ensuring security controls are properly implemented, optimized, and actively reducing risk.
Delivering Actionable Insights - Providing prioritized, clear recommendations that drive measurable improvements.
Customizing Assessments - Offering a flexible modular structure to address an organization's unique security landscape.
Why Organizations Need the C³ Cybersecurity Assessment
With the increasing complexity of cybersecurity threats, compliance mandates, and evolving attack surfaces, organizations require more than a checkbox assessment-they need a practical, results-driven evaluation. The C³ Cybersecurity Assessment delivers:
Clarity - A structured approach tailored to business needs.
Confidence - Actionable insights that enhance decision-making and risk management.
Control - A strategic security roadmap that prioritizes investments based on real-world threats and risks.
