Standardized Control Assessment

Our standardized control assessment will determine the maturity of your security program and take control of cyber risk with a standardized on-site risk management assessment.

A Holistic Tool for Standardized On-Site Risk Management

Many organizations increase their capabilities and productivity by outsourcing tasks to service organizations. However, when business functions are outsourced to third parties, some risk is “outsourced” as well. A Standardized Control Assessment (SCA) helps to limit this risk by ensuring security compliance across 17 clearly defined domains.

The Standardized Control Assessment is a holistic tool for performing standardized onsite risk management assessments, including assessments of cybersecurity, IT, privacy, data security, and business resiliency controls.

Our expert assessors provide comprehensive standardized control assessment services that are customized to the specific needs of your organization. We identify any gaps in your current security systems and processes—including those related to third parties—and provide expert advice and guidance to help you quickly bring your security program into compliance.
