ASSURE — Cyber Readiness Audit
Understand your cyber risk. Build confidence. Make informed decisions.
The CyberTS Cyber Readiness Audit is a structured, human-led assessment of your organisation's cyber readiness, governance and operational resilience.
Designed for organisations seeking practical recommendations, board-ready reporting and a clear roadmap for improvement.
What is a Cyber Readiness Audit?
A Cyber Readiness Audit offers an independent evaluation of your organisation's current cyber maturity.
Rather than merely generating a technical report, CyberTS enables business leaders to understand:
- Where risks exist.
- Which issues are most significant.
- What actions should take priority.
- How progress can be tracked over time.
The outcome is a practical report intended for directors, senior leadership and operational teams.
Is It Right for Your Organisation?
The Cyber Readiness Audit is suitable for organisations that want to:
Understand current cyber maturity.
Enhance governance and oversight.
Prepare for customer or supplier security evaluations.
Support discussions with boards, insurers or stakeholders.
Strengthen AI and data governance.
Develop a structured improvement plan.
What We Review
Every assessment is tailored to the agreed scope and may include:
Identity & Access Controls
User accounts, authentication and access controls.
Device & Endpoint Hygiene
Workstations, laptops, mobile devices and endpoint management.
Backup & Recovery Readiness

Incident Readiness

Our Approach

Every recommendation is proportionate to your organisation and focused on achievable improvements.
The Cyber Readiness Framework
Every Cyber Readiness Audit is delivered through the CyberTS methodology: a consistent, six-phase framework that takes organisations from initial understanding to continual improvement.
