Traditional GRC tools are compliance based, instead miniGRC focuses on practical security improvements. miniGRC uses a more realistic bottom-up approach, that allows customers to start immediately on a small scope, to continuously expand, one sprint cycle at a time. The methodology behind this model is our proprietary CA/CR®, short for Continuous Assessment / Continuous Remediation.
What is Pro CISO® CA/CR® methodology?
The traditional approach to cybersecurity involves periodic assessments followed by often disconnected remediation efforts. This method is costly, inefficient, and typically results in reactive measures that do not align with long-term security strategies. Organizations spend significant resources on assessments and then additional funds on implementing remediation actions through various suppliers, leading to fragmented and short-term fixes.
CA/CR® adopts the principles of seamless and continuous integration from DevOps and Agile, applying them to cybersecurity. This ensures that cybersecurity measures are continuously assessed and improved, integrating smoothly with the overarching cyber risk management process. This approach allows for ongoing visibility and adjustment of controls across processes, systems, applications, and personnel.
miniGRC is the operational backbone of the Pro CISO® CA/CR® methodology: continuous assessment and continuous remediation, applied to your entire entity landscape.
How miniGRC transforms security assessments into an actionable security improvement program.
Specifically designed to support large corporations having multiple entities. One central holding view is the overlay to multiple subsidiaries across the Group.
Verify the security posture across 3 dimensions: 1)-Horizontal Posture- Coverage vs the adopted framework of international standards and regulations controls. 2)-Security Score- considering the actual implementation of the adopted controls. 3)-Scope Depth- individual granular assessments covering crown jewels and critical assets.
Start small, expand progressively with our proprietary CA/CR® methodology. Define assessment campaigns by selecting the relevant controls. Focus on a specific Scope, then assign the questionnaires to the most knowledgeable theme owners. Distribute the efforts with just a click.
Corporate-wide dashboard reporting the Security Posture across the 3 dimensions, with drill-down into each subsidiary of the holding. Campaign(s) progress overview providing intermediate posture scoring and visibility of theme owner reactiveness.
Track the security improvement progress in all phases, for every defined Scope. Define remediation actions and track achievements reported by individually assigned Theme Owners.
Track security incidents in a NIS2 and DORA compliant risk register. Assign remediation campaigns from actual incidents and lessons learned. Close the loop between just compliance vs actionable security improvement.
Four repeatable steps aligned with the CA/CR® continuous improvement cycle.
Select the international standards and EU regulations to comply with.
Identify one or many scopes, priority controls, theme owners, duration and frequency for updates.
Drive substantial security improvements with actual remediation plans, achievements, and completion status.
Incidents highlight ineffectiveness of controls. Launch remediation campaigns to strengthen materialised weaknesses.
