Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment

Understanding where your organisation sits against established security frameworks is the foundation for any serious security programme. Our maturity assessment gives you that baseline — clearly, honestly, and without vendor spin.

Built by the team at 2Twenty Solutions and available through CyberReady.app, our assessment platform evaluates your current security controls against the frameworks most relevant to Australian organisations. The result is a structured view of your security maturity, a gap analysis, and a prioritised set of recommendations you can act on.

Frameworks Covered

Different frameworks serve different purposes, and most organisations need to demonstrate compliance with more than one. Our assessment covers:

• Essential 8The Australian Signals Directorate's eight baseline mitigation strategies, mandatory for many government agencies and increasingly expected by enterprise customers and cyber insurers. We assess all eight strategies across all four maturity levels.
• ISO 27001The international standard for information security management systems. Relevant for organisations that handle sensitive client data, operate in regulated sectors, or need to demonstrate security credentials in tender processes.
• NIST CSFThe NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides a common language for managing and communicating cybersecurity risk across Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover functions.
• ISO 42001The international standard for AI management systems, addressing the security, governance, and risk requirements that come with deploying artificial intelligence in business operations.

What You Get

The assessment evaluates your controls, processes, and policies across the key domains of each framework. It's structured to be completed by your internal team — typically in collaboration with your IT and security leads — and does not require access to your systems or infrastructure.

You'll receive a maturity score for each domain, a clear summary of gaps, and a prioritised list of remediation steps. The output is designed to be actionable — not a 200-page report that sits in a drawer, but a working document your team can use to drive progress.

Turning Results into Action

A maturity assessment is most valuable when it leads to action. Once you have your baseline, our consulting team can help you interpret the results, build a remediation roadmap, and work through the most complex gaps. For organisations with immediate compliance requirements — an upcoming audit, a contract requirement, or a cyber insurance renewal — we can prioritise the work accordingly.

Many organisations also run the assessment on a recurring basis — annually or ahead of significant environment changes — to track progress and demonstrate continuous improvement to boards, insurers, and regulators.

Who It's For

The CyberReady assessment is designed for organisations of any size that need a structured, evidence-based view of their security maturity. It's particularly useful for:

• Organisations preparing for an auditUnderstand exactly where you stand before an external auditor does.
• Teams building a security roadmapUse the gap analysis to prioritise investment and effort over the next 12–36 months.
• Boards and leadership teamsGet a clear, non-technical summary of where the organisation's security programme stands.
• Procurement and tender requirementsDemonstrate a structured approach to security management to prospective clients or partners.
