Compliance assessments
Challenges
At the heart of compliance management lies the question: where should you be versus where you are? Challenges allow you to draw a comparison between your target and actual levels of compliance. You can choose to use individually tailored threats based on MITRE ATT&CK to benchmark your current standing and identify gaps or resort to your (legal) requirements. Whatever you choose, it is then benchmarked with a specially selected part of your meta model.
- Collaborate to assess
- Match your meta model with your preferred benchmark (requirements or threats), and assign the created challenge slots to your colleagues who possess the best understanding of the combinations. Have them feedback the degree of compliance to you.
- Be precise and efficient
- With challenges, you can scrutinize a single asset or a group of assets that share an attribute (e.g., EOL reached). There's no need to assess all your objects across the entire meta model. A challenge could consist of a single slot or a thousand - it's up to you.
- Ready-made challenges
- Benefit from our challenge templates to uncover possibilities more readily. Want to challenge all your IT assets that are reaching their end of life? We got you covered.
