Overview
Hyver's benchmarking feature allows you to evaluate your organization's cybersecurity maturity against others in your industry sector. Available at both the organization and function levels, benchmarking uses aggregated data from hundreds of NIST CSF 1.1 maturity assessments.
What Is Maturity Benchmarking?
Benchmarking shows how your maturity scores stack up against industry peers. This comparison helps you:
Set informed and realistic targets
Identify areas where you lead or lag behind
Justify cybersecurity investments with context
Benchmarking Levels
Organization-Level Benchmarking
Displays your organization’s overall maturity compared to the industry average
Based on hundreds of assessments from similar companies using CSF 1.1
Function-Level Benchmarking
Compares each of your NIST function scores (e.g., Protect, Detect) with the industry average
Helps you prioritize specific domains for improvement
Setup Tip
To enable accurate benchmarking, make sure your industry is correctly set:
Go to Settings > Company Profile > Sector
Select your organization’s industry sector
If You're Using CSF 1.1 and 2.0 Together
Benchmarking is framework-specific
Set separate target scores for CSF 1.1 and 2.0
Expect differences in industry maturity scores between the two versions due to different scopes and scoring logic
Wrap-up / Next Steps
Benchmarking adds vital context to your maturity assessment. Use it to frame your performance within your industry, guide roadmap decisions, and communicate security posture with stakeholders.
