Where do we really stand, and what should we fix first with the budget we have?
Scored on evidence against the CIS Controls or NIST CSF, with gaps ranked by risk and cost into a 12-month plan your team can execute.
How it works: five steps, one Principal Engineer
One Principal Engineer leads it from the first call until your team has adopted the work and trusts it. Each step shows what it means for this engagement.
- Step 01
Discovery Call
30 minutes with the Principal Engineer who would lead this engagement. Free, and no sales handoff.
- Step 02
Direct Assessment
KickoffAgree scope and framework. We send a short evidence request, not a 300-line questionnaire.
Gather and testInterviews, configuration review, external test and phishing baseline.
- Step 03
Shared Roadmap
Score and rankWe score each control and rank the gaps by risk and cost.
Roadmap readoutA 12-month plan, presented to IT and leadership together.

Outcome Assurance
Your PE stays with you until the work is adopted and trusted.
What changed for a client
A market-data provider went from full internal compromise in about four hours to two external findings over four years of benchmarking.
In their words
Clients' own words, shared with their permission. Some chose to name their company.
The team at Vizius Group has a broad understanding of information security and a very unique approach to risk management when compared to other organizations I have worked with in this space. They have worked with us to not only streamline our approach to risk management, but to drastically change the way we communicate these risks to business leaders. They have been professional and proficient throughout the entire process and most importantly are passionate about their craft and information security as a whole. We could not be more pleased!

What you get
- An evidence-based score against CIS Controls v8 or NIST CSF 2.0
- External testing, a phishing baseline and a compromised-credential check
- Gaps ranked by risk and cost, separating would-be-nice from have-to-have
- A costed 12-month roadmap and a leadership briefing
A Principal Engineer, not a salesperson
Likely lead: Glenn Johnson or David Frazer. You talk to the engineer who does the work on Cybersecurity Benchmark & 12-Month Roadmap.
Questions buyers ask
CIS or NIST?
CIS Controls suit most midsize companies because they are specific and prioritized. NIST CSF suits boards and regulated firms that already speak its language. We will recommend one on the first call.
Will this help with cyber insurance?
Yes. Several clients use the benchmark to answer their insurance application with evidence instead of guesses.
Do we have to buy tools?
Usually not. Most gaps we find are process and configuration, and the roadmap says so.
More detail
Find out where you actually stand against the CIS Controls or NIST CSF, scored on evidence rather than opinion. We rank the gaps by risk and cost and hand you a roadmap your team can execute. Many clients repeat it each year to show progress to leadership, boards and insurers.
