The Cyber Defence Capability Assessment Tool (CDCAT®) helps consultants work at a strategic level on threat mitigation analysis and defensive cyber operations with calibrated cyber risk measurement. The intelligence used by CDCAT isn’t available in any other tool, providing you with unique information to enhance your advice to your client
Keep ahead with legal and regulatory complexity
Clients are facing increased challenges including penalties and audits against a backdrop of multiple jurisdictions and ever-changing regulations. A lack of integrated systems makes it difficult to see the big picture. Our Cyber Defence Capability Assessment Tool (CDCAT®) has been developed to enable experienced cyber security professionals to rapidly assess operational capabilities to develop strategies to defend against a range of threats
Based on UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) research, CDCAT allows consultants to quickly determine their client’s security outcome control level and develop a clear strategy to meet their security objectives with a fraction of the effort normally required for assessment thereby allowing more budget and effort to be focussed on improvements. The proactive and innovative approach of CDCAT enables consultants to deliver a unique, tailorable service and build a valuable long term plan with clients
