Overview
Hyver’s maturity assessment helps you understand how well your organization is positioned to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats. Based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), the assessment gives you a clear, measurable maturity score you can use to guide improvements, benchmark against your industry, and track progress over time.
What Is Cybersecurity Maturity?
Cybersecurity maturity measures how effectively your organization manages cyber risk. It reflects how well your systems, people, and processes can:
Identify critical assets and risks
Protect against cyberattacks
Detect threats
Respond to incidents
Recover from disruptions
Hyver supports both versions of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework:
NIST CSF 2.0 – The latest version, includes the new Govern function and improved usability
NIST CSF 1.1 – The previous standard (you can migrate to 2.0 when ready)

How Hyver Calculates Maturity
Hyver’s assessment combines:
Your ratings across NIST CSF subcategories
Real-world data from your findings, technologies, and processes
Objective scoring based on your engagement history
You’ll get a baseline maturity score for your organization, which serves as your starting point for improvement.
Why the Maturity Score Matters
Your maturity score helps you:
Quantify your current readiness level
Identify gaps and focus areas for improvement
Set maturity targets at both organizational and functional levels
Benchmark your performance against your industry peers
Track progress over time to demonstrate improvements
Report meaningfully to leadership and stakeholders
Using the Assessment Results
Once you complete your initial assessment:
Use the score to guide risk mitigation and planning
Establish a maturity program to build capabilities
Reassess periodically to monitor improvements
Compare scores across business units or functions if needed
Important notes
Choose the NIST CSF version that aligns with your organization's needs — 2.0 is recommended for most users
The accuracy of your maturity score depends on input from stakeholders across IT, security, and operations
Hyver connects your maturity scores with exposure and mitigation planning for a unified view of risk
Wrap-up / Next Steps
Your maturity assessment is more than just a number — it’s a way to make smarter decisions, justify investments, and move your cybersecurity posture forward. Use your first score as a foundation and build from there.
