Most organizations understand and have taken measures to reduce cyber risks and cyber attacks, but because these risks impact all parts of operations they cannot be certain that all parts of the organization are using appropriate security measures. CyMetrics not only assist organizations to meet regulatory requirements, but to also organize and manage the much needed continuous improvement lifecycle for cyber risk management.

How often are the assessments updated? What are the criteria?
CyMetrics is amended by an inter-disciplinary team of experts, cyber-analysts, as frequently as necessary based on current events.
How do you calculate cyber-threat factors?
The Weighted Threat Factor provided as part of CyMetrics is the result of a blend of threat factors associated with the profile being assessed.
How many CyMetrics accounts can we have?
A company can have as many CyMetrics users it believes to be appropriate. The CyMetrics application is flexible and provides for a client administrator that can assign company access to other company CyMetrics users. For example, it is desirable for department heads to have their own account. Each account would have its own UserID (your email) and unique password.
