DTNK Shield’s Security Maturity Assessments leverage the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), CIS Controls, and CMMI-based models to perform a deep, structured analysis of your cybersecurity program. Each of the CSF’s five core functions—Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover—is decomposed into its underlying 23 categories and 108 subcategories, allowing us to evaluate maturity across specific control areas such as asset management, identity governance, data security, threat detection, incident response planning, and recovery procedures.

Using a combination of evidence-based control validation, stakeholder interviews, and technology reviews, we assess how well each domain is implemented, measured, and improved over time. Our approach includes evaluating:

• Governance and risk alignment (e.g., ID.GV, ID.RM)

• Technical safeguards like access control, endpoint protection, and encryption (e.g., PR.AC, PR.DS)

• Threat monitoring and analytics maturity (e.g., DE.CM, DE.AE)

• Response protocols and incident handling workflows (e.g., RS.RP, RS.CO)

• Recovery time objectives and testing coverage (e.g., RC.IM, RC.RP)

The final output includes a maturity heatmap, control-level scoring, and a prioritized roadmap that helps CISOs and IT leaders align security improvements to risk exposure, business priorities, and compliance mandates (such as HIPAA, NIST 800-53, or CMMC).
