Q1: What is the Cyber Defense Matrix Quick Check?
A: It’s a structured way to map your security capabilities (tools and processes) across core functions and asset classes—so you can see coverage gaps and overlaps quickly.
Q2: Who should take this assessment?
A: IT/security leads, MSP-managed environments, and SMB leadership teams that want a clean picture of “what we have vs. what we’re missing” without vendor noise.
Q3: What do I get when it’s done?
A: A simplified coverage map and prioritized recommendations: what to strengthen first, what can be consolidated, and what should be operationalized (monitoring/response).
Q4: Do I need to list every tool we use?
A: No. High-level categories are enough. The goal is clarity and decision-making, not inventory perfection.
Q5: How is this different from the NIST CSF Quick Check?
A: NIST CSF is great for resilience benchmarking and planning. The Cyber Defense Matrix is great for organizing capabilities and identifying gaps/overlaps in your defensive stack.
Q6: Can you help interpret the results?
A: Yes—if you want, we’ll walk through your map and translate it into a practical plan and managed coverage options.
