No one is immune from cyber attacks. More than 77% of organizations do not have a Cyber Security Incident Response plan.
Cyber health is similar to human health, and information security to medicine. Why do computer systems “get sick“? In information systems (applications, websites, networks and organizations in general), we can observe the same causes and stages of disease as in the human body.
“Bad genes”. Software or configurations may include or use unreliable, obsolete components. This is an example of technical security vulnerability. Vulnerability is an internal flaw of a software product, an information system or an entire organization. Unlike vulnerability, threat is a factor external to the system. For example, computer viruses, hackers, offended employees, competitors or a power surge that can destroy information.
A Cybersecurity Health Check is critical for laying a firm foundation for your cybersecurity architecture. It will not only help you identify your weakest security areas, but it will also advise you on how to reduce any potential threats that we uncover. A cyber health check will give you with a complete report explaining your present cyber risk status, as well as recommendations for minimising your overall cyber risk footprint, based on best practices such as ISO 27001, CIS 20 Critical Controls, and NCSC guidance. Finally, the health check aims to assist you in identifying your cybersecurity weak spots before they are discovered by attackers and can assist you in identifying your weakest security areas.
A cyber security health check assesses every aspect of an organisation’s IT security to identify weaknesses and failings before they can be exploited by criminals, A comprehensive assessment will consider the roles played by people, processes and technology to give a complete understanding of defence capabilities and their effectiveness.
Have you ever considered what would happen if your sensitive business or customer information was compromised or your computer systems, technology dependent enterprises or networks were exploited? Building cyber resilience capabilities have become a high priority for many companies operating in critical sectors.
3columns can help identify your cyber threats and risks and assess the existence, effectiveness and efficiency of a range of industry better practice security controls across a complete range of domains.
If you answered ‘no’ to any of the questions, you could suffer considerably from an attack, especially if you are a public sector organization or handle large volumes of personal data.
Identifying and fixing cybersecurity vulnerabilities before they can be exploited is the best way to prevent becoming a victim of hackers, malware or unintended data loss. The cyber security health check provides early warning about issues that need to be addressed before they can be exploited.
A cyber security audit is a one-day consultancy service offering a high-level cyber review of the organisation and its IT estate. It identifies key areas of cyber risk. <br><br>
A cyber health check, however, is more exhaustive in scope. Aside from the audit and the technical cyber security controls included in the cyber security audit service, a cyber health check also conducts vulnerability scans of critical external infrastructure IP and website addresses, and an online staff questionnaire that determines employees’ actual cyber security practices.
We charge a fixed fees (no hidden charges) for conducting a comprehensive cyber health checkup.

Conducting Cyber Health Check discover vulnerabilities in your applications and network and provide a roadmap to empower and strengthen your IT Infrastructure.
1.A dedicated senior consultant coordinates workshops with your key SMEs to review your critical business processes and functions, technologies used and networks to identify and qualify cyber threats and risks.
2. Based on the information obtained, the senior consultant will assess the existence of a range of industry better practice security controls for their effectiveness and efficiency.
3. You will be given a Health Check report that identifies and explains all the areas where adequate controls are either missing or deficient and will prioritise the risks to your business operations.
4. A report with practical recommendations will be proposed and prioritized to create a high-level security roadmap.
The process to understand your organisation’s cyber health against the NIST Cyber Security Framework is fairly straightforward.
We send you a link to a self-assessment questionnaire that you complete. After we receive payment, you are assigned an experienced cybersecurity consultant who will spend up to 4 hours with you on a single call.
The diagram on the right further describes the straightforward process to initiate and complete the One-Day Cyber Health Check.
