What's Included in UQSchoolsNet Security Assessment?

Comprehensive Assessment: An assessment is undertaken to evaluate your cybersecurity posture and maturity against 20 security controls. The assessment looks at 20 of the most critical NIST CSF controls, split across 15 core security domains, which are useful for schools at the start of their cyber improvement journey.  

Maturity Gap Report: You will receive a detailed report that benchmarks your current cybersecurity posture and identifies any gaps. This report will also provide you with clear next steps to help elevate your maturity level.

Risk Assessment Report: Based on supplied cyber risk scenarios, including the potential impacts they would cause should they occur.

Executive Summary and Strategy Document: A valuable resource for your senior management, this document will be based on the gap and risk assessments. It will include:

• An overview of the gap assessment, spotlighting your school's overall maturity level and benchmark.
• A concise strategy on a page.

• An example security improvement roadmap. 

Optional Follow-Up: To ensure your ongoing cybersecurity success, we offer an optional follow-up assessment within four months of your initial consultation.
