Packaged Security CIS Assessment
Gain a holistic understanding of your estate’s security posture
Many organisations struggle to keep track of the changing attack surface across their environment whilst keeping ahead of an ever-persistent threat from cyber-attacks.
Whilst this is mainly due to consistent changes within their infrastructure and across their applications, it is a consequence of the challenges organisations face when defining their business strategy and implementing solutions into their environment.
With our Packaged Security CIS (Centre for Internet Security) Assessment, supported by Cisco, Logicalis are presenting a correlation between strategic, tactical, and operational paradigms of your organisation to help you to address these real concerns and threats.
To ensure you have a holistic understanding of your estate’s security posture, our reports will provide valuable insights for each recommendation, explaining the potential benefits, costs, and resources required for implementation.

Benefits of our Packaged Security CIS Assessment
Produced in a variety of formats from a single pane of glass for the C-Suite at a strategic level, down to a highly detailed technical report at a tactical/operational level, CIS assessments bring security out of the IT paradigm and define security as a business function.
Highlight Business Risks and Implications
We will translate the assessment findings and explain how vulnerabilities or weaknesses identified in the assessment could expose your organisation to cyber threats, data breaches, financial losses, regulatory penalties, or damage to your organisation's reputation.
Prioritise Actionable Recommendations
Our assessment can present the C-suite with a prioritised list of actionable recommendations, whilst highlighting recommendations that address critical vulnerabilities, regulatory compliance gaps, and risks that could have a significant impact on your organisation.
Align with Business Objectives
We will demonstrate how addressing cybersecurity vulnerabilities and implementing the recommended controls can align with your organisation's strategic goals, helping the C-suite understand the relevance and value of cybersecurity investments.
Secure Necessary Resources
We can collaborate with the C-suite to present a business case for the required resources, emphasising the potential return on investment and the long-term benefits of improving cybersecurity.
CIS Assessment Implementation Groups
We will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the systems and processes within your environment and provide recommended countermeasures for any potential or discovered weaknesses. Our CIS assessments are defined by three implementation groups IG1, IG2 and IG3.
Overview: A broad evaluation of your organisation's cybersecurity posture, providing a snapshot of your organisation's security controls and practices.
Purpose: We aim to identify areas of concern and provide a high-level understanding of your organisation's security strengths and weaknesses.
Focus: The High-Level Assessment focuses on identifying potential gaps in your security controls and highlighting areas that require further attention and more in-depth analysis.
Recommendations: The assessment report may provide general recommendations and guidance on improving your organisation's security posture, but it does not provide detailed remediation steps.
Overview: A more comprehensive evaluation of your organisation's cybersecurity controls and practices compared to the High-Level Assessment.
Purpose: We aim to identify specific vulnerabilities and gaps in your security controls while providing actionable recommendations for improvement.
Focus: The Foundation Assessment delves deeper into your organisation's security controls, policies, and procedures. It may include vulnerability scanning, configuration assessments, and policy reviews.
Recommendations: The assessment report includes detailed recommendations for addressing identified vulnerabilities and improving your organisation's security posture. It provides specific steps to remediate security gaps and align with best practices.
Overview: The most detailed and in-depth evaluation offered by CIS. Going beyond the Foundation Assessment, it provides a comprehensive analysis of your organisation's security controls, practices, and architecture.
Purpose: Providing a highly detailed understanding of your organisation's security strengths, weaknesses, and potential risks. Enabling your organisation to achieve a higher level of security maturity.
Focus: The Enhanced Assessment focuses on evaluating your organisation's security controls, including access controls, incident response capabilities, network architecture, and more. It may involve penetration testing and in-depth analysis of security policies and procedures.
Recommendations: This assessment report includes extensive and detailed recommendations for improving your organisation's security posture. It provides guidance for addressing vulnerabilities, implementing best practices, and aligning with relevant regulations and standards.
Framework Mapping
As part of our CIS Assessment, we will evaluate your organisation's security environment in an efficient and cost-effective way and can map your CIS controls and guidelines to a legislative framework that can offer your organisation several advantages:
Regulatory Compliance
You will be provided with a clear alignment between the CIS controls, and the specific regulatory or legal obligations imposed by the legislative framework.
Streamlined Implementation
Receive detailed and practical guidance, making it easier for your organisation to understand and implement the necessary security controls.
Comprehensive Coverage
Be ensured that your organisation addresses all the relevant security requirements, leaving no gaps in your security posture, including asset management, access control, incident response, and more.
Improved Risk Management
Your organisation will be able to identify and address specific risks and vulnerabilities, helping you to prioritise your cybersecurity efforts and allocate resources effectively to manage and mitigate risks.
Enhanced Security Posture
The CIS controls are continuously updated and refined based on emerging threats and evolving technologies, so you can stay up to date with the latest security practices and ensure that your cybersecurity measures are effective and aligned with current threat landscapes
Demonstrable Due Diligence
We will provide you with a clear demonstration of due diligence in terms of cybersecurity. This can be particularly valuable when organisations are required to provide evidence of their cybersecurity efforts during audits, assessments, or legal proceedings.
