C³ Cybersecurity Assessments
At CISOnow, we’ve developed the proprietary C³ Cybersecurity Assessment to revolutionize cybersecurity program evaluations. Built on three essential pillars - Cybersecurity Strategy, Cybersecurity Protection, and Cybersecurity Resilience - to align security initiatives with key business objectives.

Go Beyond Traditional Security Assessments
Unlike traditional security assessments, such as NIST CSF, that focus solely on whether capabilities are in place, the C³ Cybersecurity Assessment dives deeper. Our methodology not only evaluates the existence of cybersecurity controls but also examines their configurations and effectiveness. By going beyond a simple checklist approach, we ensure that your systems are not just compliant but optimally configured to mitigate risks and support your organizational goals. With C³, you gain actionable insights and a clear roadmap to strengthen your cybersecurity posture at every level.
The C³ Cybersecurity Assessment, developed by CISOnow, is a cutting-edge evaluation designed to identify gaps and risks in your organization's cybersecurity posture. Unlike traditional assessments, C³ is modular, allowing organizations to tailor the assessment based on their specific needs, ensuring a focused and actionable approach.
Say goodbye to the inefficiencies of traditional NIST CSF assessments and take control with clarity, confidence, and actionable results.
