Cyber Posture Consulting: Assessment, Target State and Remediation Roadmap

NSI Global’s Cyber Posture Consulting service assesses governance, people, processes and technology against an agreed framework and the organisation’s risk objectives. Depending on scope, assessments can be mapped to the ASD Essential Eight Maturity Model, NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 or ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

We document the current state, target state and control gaps, validate selected controls through authorised testing and provide a prioritised remediation roadmap. Outputs can include an executive risk summary, maturity scores, a control-gap register, investment priorities and board-reporting measures.

What We Cover

Benchmark Your Defences

A scoped maturity assessment that establishes the current state, agreed target state and prioritised control gaps against the selected framework.

Align Strategy with Business Goals

Define governance roles, risk appetite, policies, target-state architecture and a sequenced control-improvement plan.

Review Cloud, Network & Endpoint Security

Review cloud, network and endpoint architecture, then test whether selected controls operate as intended within the agreed scope.

Enable Executive Oversight

Deliver clear, executive-facing insight with board-level security reporting that informs leadership, investment, and strategic priorities.

Typical Deliverables

  • Current-state and target-state maturity profile
  • Prioritised control-gap register
  • Risk-ranked remediation roadmap
  • Executive and board-level summary
  • Measures for tracking remediation progress

Why Maturity Scores Alone Do Not Help

A maturity score tells you where you sit. It does not tell you what to do on Monday. Our roadmaps are sequenced by risk reduction per unit of effort, so the first items are the ones that close the most exposure for the least disruption — not the ones that happen to come first in the framework.

Where a control is unachievable in your environment, we say so and document the compensating position rather than leaving a permanent red cell in a register nobody can close.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which framework do you assess against?

Whichever fits your obligations and risk appetite — commonly the ASD Essential Eight Maturity Model, NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, or ISO/IEC 27001:2022. We agree the framework at the outset so results are comparable over time.

Is this an audit or a certification?

Neither. It is an independent assessment of your current state against a named framework, with a target state and a prioritised roadmap. Where you require certification, we say so at the outset and point you to a certified provider.

What do we receive?

A maturity profile against the chosen framework, a gap register, a ranked remediation roadmap, a leadership summary, and measures to track progress. The roadmap is sequenced by risk reduction per unit of effort, not by framework order.

What this engagement does not cover.

Testing is bounded by the scope agreed in writing. We do not test systems outside that scope, and no assessment establishes that an environment is free of vulnerabilities — only that the agreed scope was examined using the agreed techniques within the agreed window. Every report states what was tested, what was not, and what the evidence does and does not support.
