Arizona Tribune - CISOnow Unveils the C3 Cybersecurity Assessment

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

• Endpoint & EDR/XDR Security

• Cloud Security & SaaS Risk

• Threat Detection & Incident Response

• Vulnerability Management

• Third-Party & Supply Chain Risk Management

• Data Security & Privacy

• Operational Technology (OT) & IoT Security

• Cybersecurity Architecture & Infrastructure

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.

CISOnow's Commitment to Cybersecurity Excellence

"Many organizations struggle to accurately measure the maturity of their cybersecurity programs, but maturity alone is not enough," said David Lackey, CEO and Founder at CISOnow. "Companies should be assessing both maturity and effectiveness, ensuring that their security investments are not just in place but are actively working to reduce risk. The C³ Cybersecurity Assessment provides organizations with the insights needed to evaluate both dimensions, giving them clarity and confidence in their security posture."
