CyberOne Launches AssureMAP: Turning Cyber Maturity into Measurable Business Advantage

At the tail end of 2024, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre highlighted that cyber-related risks facing the UK are being “widely underestimated”, with the cyber chief warning in their first major speech after last year’s appointment.

• Only around 2 % of UK organisations are assessed as being at a ‘mature’ level of cyber readiness – a sharp 15 % drop compared to the previous year (Cisco, 2024 Cybersecurity Readiness Index).
• In 2025, just 20 % of UK firms regard their cyber risk management as ‘very mature’, and only 29 % say their risk programmes are aligned with business goals (ITPro, 2025).

Boards and business leaders face growing pressure not simply to have security in place but to prove maturity, demonstrate compliance, and show return on investment.

That is why CyberOne is proud to announce the launch of AssureMAP, our structured cyber maturity assessment and improvement programme. Designed to help organisations strengthen resilience, meet compliance requirements and unlock value from existing investments, AssureMAP delivers clarity, prioritisation and measurable progress.

What Is AssureMAP?

AssureMAP combines leading global frameworks – NIST CSF 2.0, the NCSC Cyber Assessment Maturity Scale, MITRE ATT&CK and Microsoft Secure Score, with CyberOne’s 20+ years of cyber security expertise. It goes beyond a traditional assessment and helps leaders answer the critical questions every board is asking:

• Where are we most exposed?
• How do we prove compliance and resilience?
• If we’ve invested in Microsoft 365 E5, how do we unlock its full security value?

By combining CyberOne’s expertise with these recognised frameworks, AssureMAP provides:

• A complete, evidence-based view of your attack surface and risks.
• Mapping of existing controls against real-world threats and regulatory requirements.
• A practical, prioritised roadmap to close gaps and strengthen resilience.
• Clear guidance on maximising Microsoft E5 and migrating from legacy tools to the Microsoft ecosystem for maximum ROI.

The outcome is a clear, evidence-based picture of your current security posture, benchmarked against industry best practice. More than a report, AssureMAP provides a practical, prioritised roadmap that enables leaders to make measurable improvements in resilience, compliance and operational security.

With AssureMAP, organisations can direct resources where they add the most value while supporting growth and innovation. This is not a generic report, it is a board-ready maturity map and actionable plan that delivers measurable business outcomes.

Why Cyber Maturity Matters

Cyber maturity underpins risk reduction, customer trust and business continuity in a landscape of constant change. A strong maturity posture allows organisations to:

• Reduce Risk – Identify and address vulnerabilities before they are exploited
• Stay Compliant – Meet and exceed regulatory expectations
• Optimise Investment – Focus resources where they have the greatest impact
• Build resilience – Adapt quickly to new threats and business change
• Differentiate – Gain recognised certifications and stand out in the market

“In today’s market, cyber resilience is a business enabler. Boards and leadership teams are no longer asking whether they are secure, but rather whether they can demonstrate maturity, meet regulatory demands, and build trust with customers. AssureMAP empowers leaders to make cyber security measurable, accountable and aligned with business growth. This isn’t about more tools or bigger budgets; it’s about clarity, prioritisation and confidence in the decisions that protect and enable the business.”

How AssureMAP Works

AssureMAP is a collaborative, workshop-led process that translates insights into measurable action. Our experts work with key stakeholders  IT, technical specialists and risk leaders to build a true picture of your posture and create a practical roadmap for improvement.

1. Discovery – Understand your current posture, threat landscape, technology and business priorities
2. Assess Maturity – Evaluate people, processes and technology against recognised benchmarks
3. Gap Analysis – Highlight vulnerabilities, inefficiencies and quick wins
4. Roadmap Alignment – Prioritise initiatives by risk reduction and strategic value
5. Implementation – Address critical gaps to reduce risk and strengthen resilience
6. Validation – Track improvements, provide board-ready reporting and embed continuous maturity.

“The reality is that most organisations already have a mix of frameworks, tools and controls, but they lack a clear line of sight from those investments to business outcomes. AssureMAP changes that. By combining NIST CSF 2.0, the NCSC Maturity Scale, MITRE ATT&CK and Microsoft Secure Score with our consulting expertise, we deliver a pragmatic roadmap that leaders can act on immediately. It ensures every pound spent on security directly reduces risk, supports compliance and strengthens resilience.”
