Overview
Hyver’s benchmarking feature allows you to measure your cybersecurity maturity against other organizations in your industry. This comparison is available at both the organization level and the NIST function level, using data enriched from hundreds of real-world maturity assessments.
What Is Maturity Benchmarking?
Benchmarking helps you understand how your organization’s maturity scores compare to others in your sector. This data is sourced from:
Companies using NIST CSF 2.0
Translated insights from maturity assessments completed prior to CSF 2.0
Data enriched to provide relevant, actionable comparisons
Where Benchmarking Is Available
Organization-Level Benchmarking
Shows the average maturity score for companies in your industry sector
Useful for high-level comparison and executive reporting
Helps set realistic maturity targets and justify resource allocation
Function-Level Benchmarking
Displays the average maturity score per NIST function across peer organizations
Ideal for identifying which functional areas lag behind or lead within your sector
Setup Tip
To ensure accurate benchmarking:
Go to Settings > Company Profile > Sector
Confirm that your industry sector is correctly selected
If you're using both CSF 1.1 and CSF 2.0, remember to set and track target maturity levels separately. Benchmarks will differ across frameworks.
Wrap-up / Next Steps
Benchmarking helps turn your internal scores into a broader context. Use it to prioritize improvements, align with industry trends, and track how your organization compares over time.
