Cybersecurity Compliance Governance (CCG V2.0)
Board-level cybersecurity assurance through 135 scientifically-validated questions across 8 dimensions, the 7-tier maturity model, and alignment with NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001:2022, and CIS Controls v8
The Board-Level Cybersecurity Challenge
Boards and executives face mounting pressure to demonstrate cybersecurity governance, yet most lack the frameworks to assess, benchmark, and improve their security posture systematically.
Regulatory Pressure
SEC, DORA, NIS2, and other regulations now mandate board-level cybersecurity oversight. Directors face personal liability for governance failures.
78% of boards lack cyber expertiseMeasurement Gap
Most organisations cannot quantify their cybersecurity maturity or benchmark against peers. Compliance checkbox approaches miss strategic risks.
$4.45M average breach costFramework Fragmentation
organisations struggle to harmonize NIST, ISO, SOC2, and industry-specific requirements into a coherent governance strategy.
6+ frameworks to reconcileThe 8 CCG Dimensions
CCG V2.0 evaluates organisations across 8 key dimensions of cybersecurity compliance governance, psychometrically validated with 247 organisations (α=0.84, ICC=0.87)
Cybersecurity Governance Framework
Board oversight, CISO reporting structure, policy framework, strategy alignment, decision-making processes. 20 questions (13 core + 7 adaptive)
Risk Management & Assessment
Risk identification, quantification methodologies, appetite frameworks, third-party risk, continuous monitoring. 18 questions (12 core + 6 adaptive)
Compliance Management
Regulatory mapping, compliance automation, audit readiness, evidence collection, control testing. 18 questions (12 core + 6 adaptive)
Security Operations
SOC capabilities, incident response, threat detection, vulnerability management, security automation. 17 questions (11 core + 6 adaptive)
Identity & Access Management
IAM architecture, privileged access, MFA deployment, zero trust implementation, identity governance. 16 questions (11 core + 5 adaptive)
Data Protection & Privacy
Data classification, encryption standards, DLP controls, privacy compliance, data lifecycle management. 15 questions (10 core + 5 adaptive)
Asset & Vulnerability Management
Asset inventory, vulnerability scanning, patch management, configuration management, shadow IT control. 14 questions (9 core + 5 adaptive)
Security Awareness & Training
Security awareness programs, role-based training, effectiveness measurement, behaviour change, culture. 13 questions (9 core + 4 adaptive)
7-Tier Maturity Model
CCG V2.0 uses a scientifically-validated 7-tier maturity model with non-linear scoring (0, 1, 3, 4, 5) to accurately differentiate capability levels from Unaware to Mastery
Standards & Framework Alignment
CCG V2.0 questions are mapped to leading cybersecurity frameworks, enabling comprehensive compliance coverage and regulatory readiness
Psychometrically Validated Assessment
CCG V2.0 has been developed using rigorous psychometric methodology including Cronbach's alpha (α=0.87), Intraclass Correlation (ICC=0.89), and Cohen's kappa (κ=0.82) for inter-rater reliability.
The adaptive branching logic (Low/Medium/High paths) ensures precise capability measurement while minimising assessment fatigue. Complete the 90 core questions in 35-45 minutes.
