Cyber Security Maturity Assessment

Measure Maturity. Identify Gaps. Build Resilience.

What is a Cyber Security Maturity Assessment?

Secarma’s Cyber Security Maturity Assessment (CSMA) provides a strategic view of your organisation’s current security posture, not just from a technical perspective, but holistically across people, processes, and policies. It evaluates your ability to protect, detect, and respond to cyber threats, aligning your current practices with national standards and your business objectives.

This assessment goes beyond tick-box compliance. It helps organisations understand where they are today, what risks may be hiding in the gaps, and where they should focus next. Whether you’re just beginning your cyber journey or operating a mature security function, the CSMA offers clarity, direction, and an actionable roadmap for ongoing improvement.

Why is a Cyber Security Maturity Assessment Important?

Many organisations know they need to improve their cybersecurity but don’t know where to start, or worse, they think they’ve covered the basics but miss critical areas. The CSMA simplifies the complexity, aligning cybersecurity efforts with your business operations and maturity level.

A CSMA helps you:

Understand Your Security Management System

Cybersecurity isn’t just IT’s responsibility. It touches every part of your organisation, from HR and finance to operations and supply chain. Our assessment brings all this together into a clear, accessible report for every stakeholder. 

Map Your Maturity Against the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF)

We use a simplified, structured version of the UK Government-backed NCSC CAF to benchmark your practices against national expectations.

Gain Expert Recommendations for Continual Improvement

Our experienced consultants provide more than analysis. You’ll receive targeted, practical guidance for maturing your defences and aligning with standards such as ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, and Cyber Assurance.
